1st Entry from Liftersize

Video

[Joe Black]

Liftersize, I'll let Travis make the call on this one, but the unclear view of the chins might mean we can;t accept this video. They also look a little short on the ROM as do the dips. I'll leave the controversial call to Travis though

Awesome effort though, 170 is VERY high whatever the case!

Good work, Camaron. These videos are fun to watch.

[Joe Black]

Good work cameron!

[The J-Man]

Great work Cameron! Nice form and ROM. Can't wait to do mine next friday.

[cphafner]

What is the rule on lockouts? That first poster I would say was nowhere near a full rep on dips, What about kipping on chin ups?

[Camaron]

Trust me I was BEAT! I sat down for like two minutes and started feeling dizzy. I tried to play basketball right after and was missing about a foot short haha. Thanks for all the positivity guys!

Superb effort Rob, a respectable score and great form on everything...

Man, seeing you so tired makes me not wanna do it lol

[Joe Black]

Yep, I think I made a comment on the other thread he posted it in that the chins and dips in that video weren;t full enough ROM.

Aim to keep to the form of Nate and also Rob who just posted, some really good form in those videos.

We're not going to be really picky because it;s a tiring event, but the reps need to be quality and full.

[Joe Black]

Oh and if you can see on Rob;s video, he kips a little as he gets tired on the chins which is acceptable but much more than that and we'd probably rule it out.

COME ON GUYS, we wanna see more.. I have some special suprizes for extra prizes, so get going!

[thecityalive]

Yes, I kipped, a LITTLE. I love watching people that do kip-ups instead of chin-ups.


I'm a technique goon. Weight is important to me, but I'd rather have technique down to a science.

Oh and Daniel, I think the humidity attributed to how tired I looked. GIVE IT A GO!

[The J-Man]

Great job Rob! I'm with you Daniel, every video I watch is making me dread this more and more lol. I'll be doing mine on Friday.

[Liftersize]

i plan to redo my video with better form and someone else videoing and timing me so i don't have to deal with so much stuff. I'm just waiting for my tendinitis to heal up a little more. Probably do it in two days.

[thecityalive]

I filmed by my self, you just need to find a good spot to put your camera at.

[joelhall]

i dont want to be 'that guy' but can anyone do this properly - i.e. no sagging in the middle on press ups, no leg drive and full rom on chin ups etc.

not being funny but the form in the videos sucks.

until you post one of yourself that blows everyone out of the water you are "that guy"

[ajweins]

Agreed. I would like to see someone giving their all put up 150 reps in perfect form. In my mind it is an assumed fact that your form deteriorates when you tire. No way of getting around it.

[Astreocclu]

Its VERY possible we'll see someone get 150 reps with strict form.

Let's see your video with strict form

We'll take form into account when we pick the winners, but as I said in the opening post we're not gonna be SUPER picky about it because this is a goddamn tiring thing to do and form always gets a little loose when we get tired. But as I also said, if it's crappy form, we'll have to disqualify it.

Looking forward to seein more entries. I am thinking about doing mine on Friday, although I might do it next week as I have a deload week and will be fresher and am not competing for the prizes anyway lol

[joelhall]

well im not necessarily saying i can do better, im just saying the form is poor. but yeah ill have a bash, though i wont be able to get it in before the closing date of 1st june. ill post later just for fun if you keep the thread open.

p.s. is there any rule about equipmant use, as i dont have bars for dipping or gym access? kitchen counter tops ok?

[ajweins]

I think everyone is sandbagging like I am to see what numbers others are putting up. Haha. I will get mine in tomorrow probably.
