Alright Karky. I am going to edit the first post to include all those who have signed up.

Current- 225lbs Goal- 280lbs

I'm emberassed to even post in here..
But yea, just bought more weights so my dead lift is 100lb now.
Pathetic I know..but hey gotta start somewhere right..

Yea Der, 230 is great.

So phate you're in at 100 with a goal of 150? Is 100 your max or what you lift for reps?

I'm not sure. I bought 4 10lb weights so now I can try doing deadlifts at 100lbs, i'll train tommorow night and see how I could complete my reps and sets

This is for your 1 rep max.

That would actually be harder. Just test your max fat animal.

It probably isn't but okay then

I want to try this, but I haven't tested my one rep max yet. I've been doing my reps at about 55-65 lbs. I know, it's pathetic.

I guess I have until the start of the challenge to determine my maximum.

Why not. The deadlift is easily the hardest lift to progress for me for reasons unknown. I have been stuck around 235 forever.

Starting Weight- 235
Goal Weight- 285

Wrestling season is coming around too but it won't be all that bad. We get to use the weight room also.

dude, videotape your form and post it. Often small tricks can kick progression back into gear. What is your weak point in the deadlift? I'm guessing off the foor..

Yep, getting it off the floor is the hard part. I have no issues after that, and I lockout really good. I'm going back to the gym today; I haven't workout in like a month. So I'll start with some light weights on the deadlift today and work up to I find my working point. I remember 185 for 5x5 wasn't a problem a while ago but once I get up around the 200's its insane.

You will notice that anyone who has entered the challenge has the lightbulb icon on their journals if they have one.

Im in.

I dont know my one rep max just my current training weight (275). Im assuming its over 300, but I will validate this in the next few days.

With knowing how my upper body responds.....40lb increase is already done, baby!......psssst.....

You could put a light bulb in the chill log if you want...

Lets rock.


Best wishes,


Chillen

Tony:

EDIT: One rep max 340; Goal 380 to 400

Hey, I didn't get a light bulb.

Maybe I should officially use the words "I'm In".

Okay, I'm in.

There


I will test my maximum next week and post my current and goal weight. However, I'm afraid I may have an unfair advantage since I just started doing deadlifts. I progress very quickly on new exercises. A 25 lb increase in 4 months doesn't seem like much.
