Mike Rinderle Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Anyone interested in a lil fun? Rules: Not many One day this week, just do all 3 lifts in one day and post up a video of your best lifts in each the squat, bench, and DL. All just for fun and to challenge ourselves. Other than that, no rules. If you like to lift multiply, do it. Raw? Do it. Sleeves or wraps allowed? Yes. Pants of some sort are required. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow or Wednesday. I encourage those who have never done a PL meet to give it a try. It's a different challenge maxing on all 3 in the same day. Just have fun! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the press rules: paused or touch n go? Answer: yes. Whatever you want to do works. Floor press, raw bench, shirt, slingshot, board press. Whatever makes you the happiest or that you can pull off with your home gym. The COVID Federation has the loosest rules out there.

EricMilfeld Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sounds like a fun idea, even if the timing doesn't work for me personally. Gonna be a lot of COVID world records set at this meet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flesher Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Okay, I've taken a look at my programming for this week and decided I'll do this in lieu of Strongman Saturday. I'm going to do an honor system 3 attempts in order. I'll record all 3 attempts and post them, even if they're hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Going to have to do this Saturday. Tried this morning and just can't squat with a straight bar anymore. Stretched shoulders for 2 days. Warmed up and stretched again this morning. Barely got under the bar in the highest of high bar squats. Final warmup with 365 and something tweaked pretty good in my shoulder, which caused me to jerk and pitch forward. This put me basically in a good morning against the rack. On a positive note, with enough adrenaline, I can good morning 365. Lol. I will try again this weekend with SSB. Maybe I'll box squat. After all, everything goes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 So i gave this a go today. Squat 300 Bench 250 Deadlift 370 Seated Press 165 i recorded it but it got weird when I went to up load it. I can’t really record in my space to begin with, there isn’t enough room, but it cropped the video a lot more. You can see like my knee in one scene and my elbow in another. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flesher Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Safety squat 400 Axle clean and jerk 190 (missed 210, would have been a 5 pound axle PR) Deadlift 520 Fun challenge! Looks like I need some more plates for the deadlift. I ran out of space and threw some platemates on for the PR. EDIT: Let’s assume I’m aware of the following: unsure on squat depth; rack dangerously unstable.

Instagram crops everything to a square. It’s not ideal for this unless you compose the video specifically for the ‘gram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Was planning on going 400/300/500. Right knee felt a little weird on SSB Squats so I stopped after my first attempt at 385. It wasn't easy anyway, so who knows if 400 would have gone. Wore knee sleeves and belt. Put those same 2xl knee sleeves on my elbows and hit 300 with a slight pause on bench. Felt like I had a few more pounds in me. Then loaded up 515 and smoked it pretty easy. Thought about doing 565 to hit a 1250 total, but I was pretty pooped by then and my wife had lunch ready so it was a pretty easy choice to stop there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much harder the way you're doing them. Even more impressive! You definitely looked like you had a lot more in you on the PR deadlift too!
