Some dickhead had the audacity to start coming to my gym and pull 605 (275,000 grams) for five on his first day, v rude of him.

>>42368775
why would the challenge be 3 reps anyway? do it 1, 5 or 10, not a meme number like 3

go to your gym during a popular time and erase all the numbers, then proceed to do all the challenge lifts, beat them, but do not write anything on the board

>>42368775
do it to motivate others

do 117.5 and then increase it by another 2.5 each time someone else increases it

>>42368796
No idea.
I mean, all the PTs have seen me rep 4 pl8 (I go in the morning before work, when they're all doing their prework routines).
But I feel like asking for it is just flagrant dick waving.

>>42368802
I have a feeling this is the ultimate dog cunt.

>>42368840
A plate and a half is what I would count as destroy.
I'm a first year lifter, I'm sure someone here could bloody bench that.

I mean, if someone beats my lifts by 10kg, they're clearly at least a month or more ahead of me.

>>42368813
This. For one it can be a good talking point if your not overly boastful about it. And two, competition especially among men is great for motivation. You can create a small culture of people that go really hard at the gym and boost
eachother up.

Just beat it by a little. Any time some beats that, beat the new score. That way people get used to seeing it changed, but they also see you always beating everyone. Makes you look better and more of a champion, than just seeing your name there and forgetting about it because it never changes

my gym has a "goals list"

>5 pushups
>40kg OHP 1rm
>120kg squat
>75kg bench

this is the state of lifting in 2017

>tfw bench is my absolute weakest link, by like 30% and I can still do that no problem.
Also worth mentioning that my close grip bench is a full half plate ahead of my wide grip bench.
I have no fucking clue why.

>>42368775
I can't believe that the max is 115, every overweight guy who thinks he does lift can easily work up to 140kg with shitty technique when he tries it for a month

>>42368840
oh fuck off you nobody

>>42369553
You're contributing to the shittyness of lifting in 2017

>>42369550
120 squat is shit but it's something that will take at least some work or learning the movement

everything else is girl tier shit that some guys may do untrained on the first day on the gym

>>42369537
Yeah, 40kg OHP for one rep is fucking nothing. I could do that my first day in the gym.

>>42368869
>I mean, all the PTs have seen me rep 4 pl8 (I go in the morning before work, when they're all doing their prework routines).

You're probably right

>>42369661

>>42369661
Why not do it, give people a reason to work harder.

>>42369705
But what if the goal being so far above them puts them down?
I don't want to inadvertently stop someone just starting their journey.

>>42369847
People who get put down by seemingly high numbers are unworthy.

If you aren't shooting for at least a 300kg deadlift you might as well not even try, no matter where you are now.

>>42369509

Wow. Which gym is this? I want to come in and feel superior to everyone there.

>>42369893

I'm not. In pounds, I'm going to stop at 4 pl8s on DL, 3 on squat, and 2+ on bench. I don't necessarily want to go higher, because I'm not going to win any recognition for doing so, and I'll feel good about myself with the weight I achieved.

Besides, I'm more interested in hitting 70 miles on a bike.

>>42368775
>Have PR scoreboard in crossfit gym
>Squat 350lbs

Currently squatting 330 and deadlifting 395. Pretty nice knowing I'm soon about to become the strongest dude in this gym, but it's just crossfit so dunno if I can be too proud about this one.

>>42369953
This is a shit mentality.

>i reached this arbitrary number that any person can i should stop here

What if you could easily reach 250 without downsides, anon?

>>42369597
yeah thats what I was thinking too

I read all of them and went

>hmmmm

>>42369893
>>42369953
>>42369983
Why is shooting for specific numbers even a thing? Just train to get stronger, regardless of how strong you are?

>>42370093
That's the point. Go as far as you can go.

I can snatch grip deficit deadlift 4pl8 for a double. Where is my prize?

dont set an unreachable new challenge
consider doing 120kg for like 15 reps
DYELs will pass out left and right trying to beat that

>>42368775
here is what I did:

>have challenge board with lmao 3pl8 for 1 on it
>do 4.5pl8 close to it but dont bother with it
>eventually get asked why I am not putting my name on the board and get compliments
>tell the coach I havent seen the mens challenge board yet
>the guy on top of the board was named Jeff
>he gets super pissed at me
>whole gym thinks I am an arrogant cunt

in my head it sounded like a cool line...

>>42369509
>40kg OHP 1RM
>88lbs

Shit, after the bar my warmup is 95lbs (43 cuck units) for at least 5 and my OHP is weak as fuck.

Then again my gym doesn't even have a goals list and the vast majority of the clientele do these weird group exercise classes where they shuffle about with these sand filled weights (like a toy that you'd buy an 8 year old who wanted to lift).

>tfw not garage gym masterrace.

>>42369953
Lmfao dude. If you did SS you would hit your "goals" after 6 months of lifting.most people leave SS being able to squat over 300 and deadlift over 400. In reality a 3 plate squat and a 4 plate dead if not that good. At all. Unless you only compare yourself to normies. Why are you aiming so low?

>>42370217
That's the sort of joke you can make among friends, not in a room full of strangers.

>>42370217
Jeff is a cunt.

>>42368840

seems like he's saying 180kg for three reps, which is impressive. 180 1RM is not that impressive you would be right.

Jeff's a cunt-blasted beta loser lol. 3pl8 not terrible for normies, but why would you write your name on a board like you're KING SHIT? How can people not just laugh off a joke in this situation? My sides would be gone if I heard someone say this in my gym.

>>42369579
Well at least then the challenge board will have respectable numbers on it. Go on and do it.

guys why did i manage to squat 2pl8 in a month of training but 1pl8 deadlift seems hard or more precisely,unnatural to me? i just feel that im not build for it...
i have lumbar hyperlordosis and rather short arms for my height if that matters.

You probably don't train pecs much outside bench? Bench press is a tricep/front delt exercise where your pec major third wheels. Do the dumbbell version or some flies, and deload with wide grip and work your way back up.

There's someone going for the wr in clean and jerk, and he weighs way over 300 pounds. He fails the power clean portion.
Now I'm sure people have power cleaned 600 pounds, but probably under 10 in the entire world.

Anyone who can power clean 600 pounds would be famous and 99 percent be in the olympics, not be hidden in the gym and be 70 years old. Unless you train with former olympians...
