Alright so I was thinking we should have a challenge to help motivate ourselves and each other to improve our lifts. Well the deadlift anyways.

So here is what I propose, increase your deadlift by 50lbs by March 1, 2008. This challenge begins on Nov 1, 2007. And this doesnt depend on what you currently lift. That gives everyone exactly 4 months to put on an additional 50lbs of iron to the bar. Now you have to take into account what you actually lift at this time, not what you used to lift 1 month ago.

Dont think I forgot about the ladies either. Ladies that enter the competition will strive for a 25lb increase to their lift.

Rules
No straps can be used.
Current max lift of within 2 weeks of November 1st will be starting point.
Thats all the rules.

What do you win? Respect, nothing more, nothing less.

So post in this thread what your starting weight and goal weight is.

Thoughts?

Start weight 375 - Goal weight 425

I think I'm gonna need to up my calorie surplus

Come on guys, what's holding you all back?

For any newbies to deadlifting, you'll find a 50lb increase very achievable and greatly rewarding.

I put this in the members lounge because I think this is the most viewed area. Whats up?

Maybe that email you sent was right CCR.

If I compete I gotta compete with the women because Mreik took my man card.

So you're gonna tell your wife you're gay?

Good luck man, brave choice

No the one about having a mistress who may be having another baby that may be mine. j/k

Too bad. 50lbs.

Well you had to pick the WORST 4 months for lifts - wrestling season lol. Hopefully I can get my deadlift back up. I got 300 at May 19th comp, but I'm not near that anymore. I might dead near/max soon and see where I'm at.

Even if for motivation Mike.

230 wow. You should have put that into that thread about what the girls are lifting.

you brag all of the time, geez


kidding...

wow 230.. that's awesome..

I have no idea what my max is but I'll figure it out my Monday and post it.. I'm game.

i will, or, i would! i don't know what i would be eating, but i would probably eat it...i try just about anything, i think i tried ducks neck earlier today

this thread has nothing to do with food..oops

DAYUM!!!!!!!!!

Only 3 people have committed to this and posted figures so far, what's holding people back?
Lets see if we can get 10 at the very least to get a good bit of competition and support going

Or are you all chicken?
