My gym is having power lifting competition in a month ( july 26th ) and im gonna enter in the 200-220 weight class.

Its setup differently...

Bench 205 as many reps in 1m inute
Squat 245 same
Deadlift 225 ( i think 225 ) same
Obstacle Course ??? no clue what is is ill ask next time im there.

That's an odd competition...

That's lame -- it'll promote bad form and injury as everyone rushes to complete the reps.

yea, i can see see plently of people getting hurt at this comp...

 

[ffknight84]

heh you guys are probably right but there pretty strict on form, it has to be good. Also the guys at my gym, wouldnt be surprised if those are their maxes =)

From the sounds of this, it looks like your gym is trying to put together a psuedo-strongman contest. They just don't have the implements.

Do the people there even know what "SQUAT" is?

some, yes, most, no.

It'll be fun though, and atleast i can say i won something as long as I stay under 220, all the strong guys are 220+, there wont be too much competition in my class.

I think if it was 1 RM people wouild be getting hurt left and right. Ive seen some guys when they push it, I have no fucking clue what they're doing
