High rep squat challenge!

[Oak]

Well I remember a few years back doing 250 hindu squats. Bodyweight squats. I could have done more but I was feeling sick from the amount of times I had bend down. hihi

50 reps I have never done with a weight, I'll try it next week with 60kg but I have done 30 reps with 80kg before and 20 reps with 90.

Duke, i don't really know how to interpret your numbers. Is that 4+4+1 sets with 8, 15, 20 reps, all at 92kg? In that case, it'd be 20 reps for the table. That is indeed a lot of warm up! [/quote]

Thats it exactly 4 sets 8, 4 sets of 15, 1 set of 20.

I wasn't commited about my reason for training - was it to go for max reps or good workout. I ended up with a reasonable workout and a reasonable set. Also I'd squatted the day before!

I reckon with the right warmup / approach / rest I'm good for thirty. I'll try next weekend I think.

I am a sucker for bad idea contests so i did the 50 reps thing yesterday.

40 kg for 50 reps
nest time I will try the BW stuff.

I'm ashamed of you. Good effort none the less .

What do you mean, "bad idea"?!

I'll add you to the table anyway

So, where are your new numbers?

Oak, i don't know what hindu squats are I don't even care really If you can do 90kgx20, you should try at least 65kg for 50

[hoffmeister]

When it comes to contests in this kind of strenght things, I'd say its a bad idea. But as I said, I am always in.

[Oak]

I am stooopeeed. I should pay more attention and read what you write Kryptonite. I have not done 250 reps with bodyweight on my back. That is squats without any weight all.

I should be slapped in the face with a leek,

Can you add me on the list please, 50 reps at 15kg.
Not very good, I know, but I've only just rigged up an improvised rack out of two pallets and this is the first time I have tried back squats. I'm hoping to improve in the near future, but by posting now while there's only three people on the list means I can claim to be the fourth best high rep back squatter on VF.

please add me on the list for the bodyweight one

I did 17 reps with 65kg on my back, at very least parallel or lower

might try the 50rep one this friday

edit - to clarify

bodyweight 87.5 kilo.....did 30 reps

I'd ordinarily be up for a challenge like this, but I feel the bodyweight challenges are a bit unfair to the belly brigade.

Perhaps a few challenges based on something resembling the Wilks would be fun. It would allow all to compete, even the girlies.

I agree The 20+ Kg that I have right above my belt should count.
But on the bright side, as I lose the belly weight, I should be able to add that much to the bar.

[Big Good Wolf]

I'd been keeping quiet about the way most of these challenges are based on absolute weight rather than a fraction of bodyweight as it gives us big fat blokes an advantage.
It also means I'm a long way off doing one body weight squat, but I just did 50 at 25kg. I'm now 3rd on the list.

True, but I think fat's ability to lift weight is overrated

[ralst]

Just got my dad a new set of weights, so I gave this a try out on the front porch - first time squatting barefooted, it was nice

50 reps - 70 lbs, or 31.75 kg

I'm hoping to hit one rep (yes, one..) with my bodyweight on the bar sometime in May...
