Contest: Squat for dumbbells

[lint]

Got some extra gear sitting around taking up space in my garage, so I thought I would do a giveaway instead of selling it. I have 2 spin lock db handles with spring clips and some standard plates (2x25, 2x10, 16x7.5, 4x5, 4x2.5) 220lbs worth. Enough for a pair of 60lb'ers with the 7.5s alone.

The challenge: Squats. The only criteria is hip crease below kneecap. Post a side view vid of yourself squatting 225x5 or front squat 185x5. That gets 1 entry into the draw. 8 reps for 2, 10 reps for 3, 15 reps for 5, 20+ for 10. Random draw will be made from all qualifying entries.

Close date: Oct 22, 2010

What kind of gear is allowed. Just belt? No belt? No knee sleeves?

[wintonyk]

ass to grass here we go. May as well get a few entries in.

hmmm I never thought about gear. I'd say a belt is fine. no idea what knee sleeves actually do

Whoa no one is gonna jump in on this?

I'm going to attempt this tonight. I know I can get 3 reps for sure but don't know about the last 2

[Zigo]

I dont like filming myself in the gym I'd do it though .. Might still.

[max_boost]

What if no one enters and I make an attempt but don't get the full 5 reps? Do I still win?

I guess I'd have to enter the draw too.

Thought there'd be more interest considering everyone one on beyond squats 300. 225 ain't nothin' but a peanut!

WTF you can't win your own contest. LOL

[max_boost]

We'll find out in about 6 hours.

Everyone?
I can only squat 180

[1-Bar]

I can hit 225lbs.....maybe, lol. I haven't done it in a long time, 185lbs I can do regular.

Go Sam!!!

[max_boost]

I still have until tomorrow right? I might wait. Not making excuses, well, kind of but my legs are sore from doing dead lifts the other day hahaha

[1-Bar]

psshhhh.....deads are for warm up! Good luck...I might post tomorrow. Might be awkward using the work gym and taping myself

[Darkane]

I thought there'd be more interest too.

I have an old video - but I wasn't planning on entering.

Does anyone know how to flip an Iphone video 90 degrees?

[KRyn]

I will get a video in tomorrow most likely! Woo free iron!

[wintonyk]

blackberry plus a buddy filming:

back squat:


Front Squat: ( I do realize the last one form broke and I think the second one i rounded my back a bit)



Reading > me

I didn't read about the number of reps for entries. Some reason i just had 5 in my head. So 7 reps of back squat at 225 and 5 reps of front squat at 225

[Darkane]

Fuck, KRyn will win anyway
