Monthly odd lifts competition

[SteveR]

125 pounds total for Two Hands Anyhow, used a 60lb dumbbell and a 65lb barbell. Snatched the barbell, lunged to get the DB. Wilks of 32.49.

 

[JPC]

I tried the 2 handed anyhow, couldn't come close to pushing the weights thanks to my fubar wrist but still got 20kgs each side (88lb total). Was really fun, wish I could really go after this lift.

Hey, at least you win the gimp division of this contest:icon_chee

 

[Chris Beeby]

70 pound total, bw 150. Two hands anyhow.

Wilks=24.33

Pretty pissed though, I had a 45 BB and 40lb DB and 3 people walked under the bar.

Not sure what would possess you to walk under something that big, but they did.

Worst thing was, one was a trainer, one was an old woman, and one was a little boy who couldn't have been more than 8 (the gym cutoff is 13).

 

[Klotz]

Nobody wants to try the other lifts?

 

[Chris Beeby]

Straddle DL is kinda hard to do while working static grip, and the James is hard to do on OHP day.

The James will be done on Saturday/Sunday.

 

[sway_dizzle]

on the james lift can we be bellow parallel?

 

[Klotz]

Yeah it has to be below parallel (or lower).

 

[sway_dizzle]
