AdamTGlass Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Ok here is my submission. Fried forearms!! = WOW Great lifting Mark! What is the end date? I have been climbing my butt off and am pretty trashed right now but if there's time - I might give it a shot later next week. There will not be a cut off date. I will set up a page on my website and update it weekly. Just something fun for people to train on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tusrb41 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks Adam and Cannon! Fun stuff.... I will try again later this week and see if I can hit 50. After I was done here I went on to the second part of the challenge. Max weight for a 2 second hold. I started with a weight I could normally baseline at 300lbs and I got it about 6 inches off the floor and dropped it. My forearms were toast from the max reps....

daniel reinard Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If my darn phone will upload I'll have a vid to submit. Let's just say 194# reps kicked my butt enough to say enough at 40. Body conditioning is just weak as hell for high reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say crossfit helped with that? I cannot remember the last time I did more than a 5 rep set in the deadlift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 36 reps at BW 194, 324 1rm. Lessons learned, don't do a max gripper workout prior and I wish I weighed more so I don't have to do so many BW reps to tire the hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the heavy metcons I have been doing with CrossFit over the past few years have really translated into greater muscle endurance.

timstruse Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Gave the reps a try after normal DL workout tonight. BW was 243, ended up with 24x244. This was fun, thanks Adam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_55FAnxm_E&feature=youtu.be Edited April 13, 2012 by Tim Struse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crush it Eric! http://www.adamtglass.com/2012/04/04/the-axle-deadlift-challenge/ I had to stop embedding the videos with the high number of submissions, so I will go back and link them all via hyper link tomorrow. If you have done the challenge and your name is not on the page please let me know and I'll get it posted.

I'd put money on Eric to exceed 43, he's insane with timed holds Yep ... you called it. Eric pulled 51 reps @ 198lbs ... actually pulled 52 reps but out of celebration or just being a punk ass biotch, he dropped the weight after lockout. video uploading 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your grip or the conditioning it took to do that many reps - so let's just say both and give one big "atta boy" for a heck of a set!!!
