by adam on May 3, 2009

A lot of fun spread out with some great athletes, here are some up dates. All participates please post your updates.

On the GS Snatch challenge with Rob Russ
Goal is 24kg 75left/75right in 10 minutes. I will place an attempt tomorrow for 60/60 in 10 minutes

Hub lifting challenge with Jeff Steinburg
goal is 65lbs (45+20) Current is 55lbs hit and miss, 52.5 consistantly. Will attempt 57.5 this week.

Short bending- Goal of insane bastard (4.5″ 5/16 CRS bar) took down grand (5.5″) last week, will shoot out a Mag (5″) this week

Bottoms up press challenge is where i am lagging now, goal of 56kg at BW of 100kg. Will post as newer progress emerges.

Gripper Challenge with Brett Jones, and Jeff Steinburg. I am shooting for an Elite, Brett is aiming for his Grand Master, and Jeff is looking for a #3 close.

Naturally the 50K snatch race is still on. I am averaging 450-550 reps a week from my Vo2 sessions and my GS practice. At my current tally, i have 8 more months of solid work to cross the 50K line.

Would you like some friendly competition from me or other readers here? Are you close to a goal and want some pressure? Post up your challenges! Team work makes us stronger.

Looking awesome! Some very exciting things happening my friend!! I’m back to working on my double KB MP, worked hard and was succesfull with the one arm mp for 4 months but now time for a change.

As far as grippers go im missing my ccs with #3′s by 5mm

a 56kg BUP will be incredible!!

Adam,

I’m upto 30:30 on the 32kg snatches, had a virus recently but back at it now and ready to push a bit harder so the 50′s shouldn’t be too far off soonish!

Great motivator and great idea
Cheers
Rob

Adam,
You don’t update your numbers on the 50k challenge… Where you at now?

I do not do it simply from laziness. I appreciate how Kim set up that page, i have no good excuse why i do not often update it.

My count on my log is currently 32.4K
