AdamTGlass Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just for fun Using either an Axle or a pair of Fatgripz, do one set of maximum reps with your body weight on the bar, and then go up to maximum weight with a 2 second pause at the top. (DO of course) The question a few guys asked "can I use (Insert bar which is not Apollo's axle)?" - yes of course. It's just for fun. if you have a pipe, use the pipe. If you have manus gripers, or Ironbull, or Tyler grips, whatever. There are no rules here, I don't care to see it turn in to anything other than some fun. Here is Ryan Maier and I's submission for tonight here is Chris Mathison Jump in and post up your #'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Cool stuff guys! I like how you guys really didn't rest much between reps. Some guys consider (not me) taking a few deep breaths (which equats to around 5 seconds or more sometimes) between reps to be "continuous reps." It can be tricky. I like the 5-second rule on repping. If more than 5 seconds separates reps I don't count them as continuous reps. Usually that's done on grippers though and only really gets tested on the final max effort reps at the end of a big attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 270# at 146# body weight. (I got 300# up but not a full lift! Would have been a 20# PR. Should have tried 290.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamTGlass Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 http://www.adamtglass.com/2012/04/04/the-axle-deadlift-challenge/ Up to 20 entries now As a reminder, it is axle OR Fatgripz. or even both for those who are feelin' beastly You can choose the order of max reps / max weight. Some have found better results trying for max weight first. Finally you do not have to do either of the two. If you want to drop a vid for max weight only- cool. If only reps- cool.
