The 6000 LB Challenge

[spk55]

whats the best time so far? i am new to weightlifting, but i will try this. whats the best way to get to 6000#'s? just an olympic bar with lots of reps, or by using heavier weights?
time is the key, so i imagine its best to experiement on a few ways to do this.
thanks

If you read through the thread, you will see several times posted.

Doing it under 12 min is pretty good.

Actually I am beginning to think that some people are spending too much time curling in the squat rack to give this a try.

Lol!!! Would it count if I did 6000 pounds curling in the squat rack? Please, oh please let it count!

I think I'll be able to video it tomorrow. By the way, I love your quote from Mark Riptoe about deadlifts. Whenever someone asks me how much I bench I respond with "how much do you deadlift?" They always go, "Huh?"

If you did that, I would ban you.

Rip has a ton of quotes that are worth telling others about.

My favorite quote:
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy. "

Also good:
"Milk is quite literally better than steroids for a novice lifter to grow on, and no supplement produces the same effect. "

Well I did yesterday with 95 lbs for 64 reps. Got the first 30 super quick, then slooowwweeedddd down a lot. Got it in 10:04. I felt like I just did my fastest 2 mile time Super oeverheated, and really thirsty and out of breath. Next time I do it I'll video. I also need to get the software for my video camera installed.
