CoC#3 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 So far our gripboard races have been fairly successful. We've had Hammy bench 400 and both myself and Manthos stick 350 overhead within a few weeks of starting the push press race. Anyone is interested in a race to 400x20? The only rules are no suits or breifs and that all squats must be below parallel. I am open to discussion on whether knee wraps should be allowed or not, as i don't mind either way. I think with WSM coming up now is a good time to start this thread, in honor of Jesse Marunde's famous 407x20 after an oly lifting workout. Let's get squatting.

The Natural Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 With a belt, I should be able to do it right now. Without a belt, I'm not close though. If you're wanting to do it in honor of Marunde, I'd go no belt like he did. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'd be into it with light knee wraps, I did 415 x 15 yesterday. I'm older & like the extra support after 10-12 reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Ok, let's allow knee wraps but as Rex suggested, in honor of Marunde, the eventual goal is to do it without wraps and a belt. I suspect i'm close to doing it with wraps as i have done 396x17 with loose knee wraps. 396 because that's what 4 english 44lb wheels a side come to. John 415x15 is sick ! Great stuff let's get into this. We could make 3 'classes' for 400x20: Class III: 400x20 in wraps and a belt Class II: 400x20 in belt Class I: 400x20 without a belt or wraps Edited September 23, 2009 by CoC#3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTHOS Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I would like to follow you Sam on this one but I have to Squat decently since March and I don't know what I can handle this period. I strongly believe that you can do it my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 maybe we should make it front squats as to many people can do 400 x 20 already on the back squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I don't know anyone who can front squat 400x20?! That would be sick. The main problem would be the bar slipping down after each rep. It is hard to get air in aswell with a bar on your chest. I am not even sure i could front squat 300x20, and i have done a 484 front squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 The most I've ever front squatted was 425, and a 405 triple. 20, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Is there any documented evidence of anyone ever front squatting 400x20? I think it would be way more impressive than a 500x20 back squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 As a Junior (back when dinosoars roamed the earth) I competed at a reasonable level at olympic lifting, We did an awful lot of front squating back then so I'm guessing there are some olympic lifters who could probably do this without to much problem, As for me now not a chance, I would be happy with one lol.

andurniat Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 400 for 20, I have some worked to do for a skinny kid like me, but what the hell. All I have to lose is my weakness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) thanks Frank! - 180kgx13 i start squatting 40 secs in. Cardio let me down again.

I think you might be able to get it now with a little cardio work. My lungs give out long before my strength on my kettlebell swings and high rep squats. Awesome strength. You went deep on every rep too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andurniat Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Strong stuff. You had more in you. Don't let your mind get in your way. I hope someone was there with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Plenty strong - just do more conditioning (heavy conditioning) and it's yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
