The rules are similar to the ones in here: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f13/race-185-lbs-sohp-975407/
Rules --
Allowed -- Belt, chalk, wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, moderate layback, foot placement of your choosing, grip width of your choosing
Not allowed -- Leg drive
You may clean the bar or take it off the hooks in a power rack, but whichever option you choose for your starting 1 rep max has to be the same for your bodyweight press. So if you took your starting 1rm off the hooks, your bodyweight press has to be off hooks. If you did a clean and press as your starting 1rm, then you have to clean and press your bodyweight press.
Vids are required in this comp. This is to make it similar to Sherdog's Strongest Man thread and to make this thread more bad ass. If by popular demand people don't want vids, then the requirement will probably be waved. Vid of starting SOHP and ending BDW press and at least a pic of the scale reading.
The contest will end when everyone is finished. More will be added to this as time passes. Most info on the press is on the Race to 185 lbs. SOHP. I'll be finding new videos and adding articles too. If anyone wants to contribute any info, feel free to do so.
Now, we need some competitors. Who wants in?
