As an oly lifter, I'm just gonna cry. I was even on the beach train recently until I got golfers elbow.

I could probably do like 2 of these right now...

So next contest, power cleans for reps at 225 so I can get destroyed by Sean "I'm entirely fast twitch fiber" Herbison...

Consider this my half assed entry... 225x18 @245ish of which I didn't actually document because I kinda forgot and I was only curious to see how fat I got over the weekend...

Kinda wonder what the number would be if I tested it while I was actually training bench instead of randomly one day after three months of absolutely no flat benching lol

Can you rep out PCs at 225? If so, that's pretty cool. If we do the contest, though, can we lower the weight to cardio level, like 185.

I can definitely do more PC's at 225 than bench. Though honestly I'd estimate I could do 10ish. I guess I could try for 23 but would 100% die.

225x12
BW: 199

Upon reflection, I probably should have done this *before* cardio today.

Just a note:

Next week will be crappy for me in terms of work. I will go over entries and rank them. I should have the results tabulated by the weekend. :-)

1x10x225 at a current body weight of really fat. Can't win so this is my unofficial entry.

Hopefully this contest will come full circle next year and I can try again when my bench max hasn't dropped 40 lbs due to life.

Hello ES community!

Been a long while since I have been on the forum :(. Been tricky juggling recent life transitions and keeping up online. Anyhow, I love these competitions, so I am formally submitting my entry, even though I clearly couldn't match @ac@acciosnacks's impressive performance!

I hit 23 reps at 185.4lbs bw. :)

Looking forward to the next random comp, though I might not be able to contribute if I have popped by then :)

Hot damn @DoubleBreastedAmazon I wasn't pregnant while I was benching! (Have been twice and I sure wasn't throwing 95lb around lol). Excuse me while I get down on my knees and bow before A Legend.

Hahaha! True, I am preggers, but I have also been lifting for a few years now. Seems like you have only been at if for few months and there is no way I would have come close to 95x26 that early in my training! So still think you take the cake on this one!

(How girly is this complement exchange fest? :lol: ;) )

A little over a year, I only started a log here not too long ago. (But yeah this is so very girly. "You win-no you win!" Shall we congregate in the bathroom as the women do? 😂 )

@Stenson dang dude! I figured the big bwahs would start rolling in toward the end of the month. Excited to see what some of the stronger folks can put up (assuming they want to participate).
