I'm putting up a challenge. Complete it, post up your results, and I will throw you some K. This is totally on the honor system, but if you video it, post it so we can all see the carnage.
Here are the rules.
1) You must lift a total of 6000 lbs off the floor and press it over your head from a standing position.
2) You may use any exercise you wish to accomplish this, as long as it it done with a barbell, and you may change form or exercise at any time during the process.
3) The weight must be lifted from a static position off the floor (all weight is on the floor before each rep).
4) Once pressed, you may not drop the weight or otherwise let it fall to the floor. You must place it back down on the floor.
5) You may use any weight you wish, but that can not change during the event.
6) You must time yourself, and record the time it took you to complete the exercise.
7) Women may go for 4000 lbs if they wish, but they must note it in their post.
For example, yesterday, I did 95lbs for 64 clean and press reps for a total of 6080 lbs in 15:03.
My wife did 4080 lbs doing 68, 60 lb clean and press reps in 11:43.
For some this may be easier than others. Don't criticize until you try. I poo pooed it because I am a big strong guy with a big ego and thought that this was a nothing deal. I was even going to do it with 135 on a 2" bar. Then my partner talked some sense into me and I went with 95 using a regular bar. I killed the first 30 reps. After that I was so O2 starved, I was seeing everything through a red filter, had to take long rests, and thought I was going to faint. Today I am sore as hell in places I did not expect to be sore.
Let the challenge begin....
