Usually for high rep conditioning anyways

God damn I'm outta shape.

Video is probably still processing, so if it doesn't work now, it will eventually.

Bacon's special... in that education sort of way...



I'm just happy he's deadlifting again, finally our race can begin again

 

[JoelThomas]

I'm trying to reckon if I can spaz hard enough to snatch a 2 lb dumbell 1500 times in 3 minutes...

 

[JPC]

I believe this challenge will be attempted often with different weights by those that are competing for the top spots, and others will wait until a clear leader emerges, and use the same weight he did.

 

[SteveR]

I plan on trying it once a week. Goal is 4,000.

 

[ronin0352]

Heading out to try this. I'll let ya know how bad I do this evening

 

[Bubble Boy]

Cool challenge.
I'll be doing one-armed snatches.
Will give my first go around a try when I get home in a little bit.

Good job. Replacements ftw.
I'll have to do the dl challenge this month also, I missed it the first time around.

I just knew there'd be a special little something for everyone at the end of the video. :icon_chee

 

[ronin0352]

ronin0352 - 60# x 42 = 2520

No video, but nothing to be proud of anyway. My left forearm was burning like mad by the time I finished.

Did this before Work Capacity 101. Let's just say my "work capacity" was greatly reduced afterward, lol

 

[Bubble Boy]

For me to poop on:
Bubbles = 2400
80 reps of 30 lbs, db.
I'll bring this shit up over the month.

 

[Standard]

can i use straps?

ummm no

 

[WildCard]

I just did this after my leg workout just to get a feeler for it, a test run sorta deal.

My only advice is the 3 minutes goes by faster than you would expect, so no time for teh breather.

Agreed. I plan on trying a couple more times throughout the month.
I'll probably try a heavier weight, and work on not stopping, & try a lighter weight to see if maybe I can do a few with my right arm too. I did a few with 30# today and it felt all right. I'm only increasing it 5# a week though cause I REALLY don't want to re-injure it and go through all this again.
I may even try to do it once using a heavier weight with the left and a lighter weight on the right, just to satisfy my own curiosity. I know it won't count by the rules though.

What did you get Quest?

 

[Chonbody]

Shit. I just saw this today, will jump on this asap.

 

[blakethemus]

I did this as a feeler in the middle of my workout tonight.
35lbs x 50 1750
Think I'll use more weight and time it a bit better next time(this is a score so other can feel better about them selfs)
