October 2019: Random Contest
225 for reps on bench. Then normalize by bodyweight. Must have video of reps and scale weigh in.
Winner gets to pick next month’s contest. Update, just for planning purposes, we will do this every other month so that people have two months to submit a video.
You have until 10/31/2019 at midnight EDT to submit video evidence. Also put the number of reps and weigh in in the body of the post for easy bookkeeping.
Ladies: I’m happy to make an equivalent contest if you’d like. Would 95 for reps make sense?
For the ladies, 95lbs for reps is your challenge. Women’s winner decides their next contest also.

Re: October 2019: Random Contest
How does the bodyweight normalization work?
Either way, I guess I have to start benching again so I can play along. Thanks for derailing my non existent program.

Re: October 2019: Random Contest
I'm in. I think I can get about 13 right now, so if I can get to 16 by the end of the month that would be great.

Re: October 2019: Random Contest
HAHA this fits in to my plan perfectly as the very first thing I was gonna do was a 225 AMRAP bench test as part of my post-contest pivot...

Last time we did this I got 5. More recently, I hit 7. Would love to get 8.

Shouldn't do it during the middle of prep probably but I suck anyway. Shooting for 20 reps.

I don't know how many I'll get, because I have perpetual poverty bench, but I'm in.

I think I can manage a college try on this one.

Re: October 2019: Random Contest
For gender equality, ladies can enter a 95lbs for reps video as well. Same basic rules for entry.
Other stuff updated in opening post.

Re: October 2019: Random Contest
Your bench astounds me. Like, don't think our 1RMs are very far apart. But I would probably only be able to get 4 TnG reps with two plates right now, and it'd be a tough set.
Screw it though, I'll be in this. Maybe I'll be able to get 5 or 6 reps by the end of October if I train it real hard.

Re: October 2019: Random Contest
Just to confirm, this is touch and go bench?
