    Anyway, the reason I came was to do a proxy post for Iron Miss Canada, who totally crushed the 10 reps...

    With a bonus 165kg clip as well...

    This one is for 23 reps...I redid the challenge and got it at 1:23 minutes but haven't uploaded the video. This will have to do.

    I should do more cardio hahaha. Would have actually finished under 2 minutes if I didn't have to catch my breath

    I'll probably do this again December 1st and get video from a better angle.

    The first time I did it I was no more sore than a typical workout (but I do more high volume stuff typically). We'll see how I feel after today, but I suspect I'll just have regular DOMS.

    I was not sore at all. The video posted was actually the third time I did the challenge in the span of three days. I had done it on a Thursday night, after my normal back workout, but didn't like the angle of the video so I waited 5 minutes or so and did it again. The two attempts are pretty much carbon copies of one another and I posted both in my newsfeed even though I was annoyed that I had to set the bar down after 15 or 16 reps on both tries. I was sick ( a cold ) on Friday so didn't lift, but I kept wrestling with the idea that I wanted to do the challenge and get all 25 reps without ever setting down the bar. Saturday I was still sick, did not plan to work out, but found a chance to nip into the gym and do the challenge one more time. That third attempt, where I got them all in one set, is the one I posted here. Unfortunately I can't put the video on youtube so you actually have to click the link. I was no more sore on Friday than I would be after a normal back day.

    That's damned impressive. And no wraps this time! It's crazy how much stronger you got in just one year.

    Definitely! I was actually shocked that it was about 2 minutes because my original was 6 and I was hoping to get close to 3. It's funny how we can see the minor improvements when we track stats, but things like this show us how much we actually improved. Doing it again in a month after I add some cardio. Want a better angle because I didn't realize it cut the weights out.

    lol, that's why I didn't record my aborted attempt. Couldn't get a good angle, AND I was tired.

    That looked seriously easy. Nice job.

    Very nice! I guess that's the great thing about revisiting challenges since they can be a great yard stick.

    Well now you're just rubbing it in. :smile: Seriously impressive and a big improvement over the last video. Inspiring. 25 rep set is cardio. :p

    Thank you all! I'm interested to see what I can do a month from now since I haven't done deadlifts in two months. The only part of me that is sore is my hips, but that's because of a muscle imbalance I haven't been working on fixing (you can see my knees cave during my lifts).

    I'm sick. No way I could do them yest. But I might try them tonight if the girls get back from trick or treating soon enough. Going to set up the tripod and camera

    Good luck, I might give this a try some day but I'm still in the middle of a periodization so I'll wait at least until I get done with this cycle.

    Have my meet in a week - may try it a couple of weekends after that, depending on my recovery.

    I said I was going to do this again December 1st, but I sustained a partial tear to my quadriceps tendon. I will probably revisit this challenge after it heals and after my cut.

    It's minor. Headed to the VA in a few weeks to see what other damage was done. I highly suspect there's more damage to my meniscus. Eventually I will need surgery on the meniscus, but I'm putting that off for as long as I can.
