Gladiator vs Tblock

Tblock1

New member
So me and gladiator agreed to do a competition consisting of :

Rep out:

315 deadlift
185 bench
135 military
225 squat

1 rep max:
1 handed deadlift (with strap, either arm)

3 rep max:
pullups with weight (bw not counted, just weight)

I know I am going to get destroyed by gladiator but I figured it would be really fun anyway:)

I'll embed the videos I took for deadlifting and military press (I just did those in a little while)

I figured I would post each part of the contest in a seperate video.
 
Deadlift: Got 315x15 reps



Military press: Got 135x9 reps



I was disappointed with the military press, was hoping for 10+ reps. But I haven't barbell military pressed in over a month. My old max was 150x5.
On deadlifts I could have gotten 315x25 if there was someone screaming in my face calling me a pussy lol:evil: I used a belt and chalk, my form went to crap so I am glad I had the belt.

Gladiator: I figure for deadlifts it is over when you take longer than 5 seconds rest between reps.

nice... not sure if this is going to be right but i think it's something to consider for deadlifts- get that ass down and arch your back more. also don't bend your arms before pulling up. That's what i noticed but maybe someone else can chime in and let me know if this is valid or not.

Yeah bro but the thing is I knew my form was going to be absolute shit! On my normal sets I arch my back quite a bit more, and I keep my arms perfectly straight, but you can see especially at the end I was so drained I kind of used a stretch reflex and jerked down then pulled lol. On having my ass lower I think that is a good thing normally but I am a taller lifter and that is the best position for me. Thanks for the advice though I always appreciate criticism.:)

yeah man i know what you mean. Nonetheless, you did a fantastic job!

While we're on the subject, i think you should focus on locking out everything simultaneously. If you watch the vid, your glutes don't lockout until after your legs are locked out.
 
You guys should do the one handed deads minus straps. It's a grip feat. Adding straps makes it kinda gay.

this is exactly what I said to tblock on his training log when he said that he used straps for them.

jdid I was excited for a competition against you what a let down :(
 
Thanks a lot sl means a lot to me:) Alright if gladiator is down we will do :

1 handed deadlift without strap
1 handed deadlift with strap

It's just that I injured the tendon of my ring finger in my right hand doing 1 handed deadlifts so when I use the strap it takes a lot of emphasis off that finger. Also I pulled 205x3 without a strap one handed 1st time, but I just pulled 305 with my left hand with a strap. I don't do them for grip, I just do them more for fun, so whichever way gets up the most weight is my favorite:D A guy from my gym pulled 285 one handed with a strap his first time deadlifting:eek2: BTW, nice new avatar:D
 
Don't do them until your tendon is 100%

If you're gonna pull one handed deads with straps you might as well wear gloves too :D

Do you think Mark Felix straps up when he pulls one handed????




Do what you want. I'm really just busting your balls. It is kinda silly though :)
 
wow SL you look great for your age in your new avi!

I just realised that mark felix video is hook grip, not as impressive as some of the standard double overhand grip strength vids iv seen but still awesome!

Yeah I am pretty sure I have that video in my favorites. But this one is better:



I kept looking for the strap lol, I guess hook grip would make it easier though. Still monsterous! But yeah I will get them pink workout gloves right away:sick:

EM: Bug the shit out of jdid till he agrees to the contest, I did 315x15 deadlift and I am not even sore today, he will be fine it won't interrupt his routine at all, he is just being a pussy
 
405 with a hook grip hurts like crazy. Imagine pulling that with the hook but one handed :evil:
 
where is gladiators deadlift and press video? you didn't scare him away with yours did you? haha i'm just joking.

this is good motivation for the both of you.
 
lol this whole idea was mine originally anyway just jdid who i was meant to go against changed his mind and said he didnt wanna do it :(

yeah brandon i thought it would be good motivation...

Yeah I'll let you have a rep or two so you can catch up to me:D Lol maybe someone should start a deadlift challenge thread where anyone can participate and it is max reps at 315....although that would be pretty light for some......

Tomorrow I will do the squat and weighted pullups part.

Gladiator: What do you think the rule should be for squats, ie should you have as much time as you need between reps or should there be a time limit? obviously the set if over when the bar comes off your back.

3 rep max pullups with weight?

Ill do some of my shit tonight. Ill probably do deadlifts and bench. Tomorrow I will do squats and military and pullups. Honestly I dont wanna do the 1 handed DL thing my grip sucks but ill try it probably tonight before the 315 deads.

Come on 1 handed deadlifts are awesome! Take one max with a strap and one without for 1 handers. Make sure to video your shit too! So what about squats though. See my post above.

As long as the bar doesnt come off the back then were good to go. How about a 10 second break and after that ur pretty much done.

And parallel, not ATG. My flexibility sucks

Sounds good.
For pullups, rules are chin over bar and each rep must start from a deadhang.
Deadlifts: no straps, any grip, must lockout, only 5 second break between reps
1 handed deadlift: take 1 rm with strap and without, your other hand cannot touch your leg or any other part of your body. Must have full lockout.
bench: touch the chest and full lockout. as soon as spotter touches the bar it is over
military: start from below chin, full lockout over head
squats: Must break parallel (or to parallel), only 10 seconds rest between reps, bar must stay on back for whole set

tblock just saying but you decided not to do bench because gladiator is too far ahead of you maybe it would be fair if you didnt do the one hand deads because you will be so far ahead of gladiator since he has never done grip work before...

Wait when did I say I wasn't doing bench?:confused::confused::confused: Fuck that bro I am definitely doing bench. BTW, one more thing: the one handed dead without the strap has to be done overhand, no hook grip.

oh sorry I thought you had said to him that one of the lifts there was no point in doing because he would win too easily, and I thought it was bench but I might be wrong...

Lol how is that being a pussy? If i get a camera and you really want to do our comp, then how about you can do whatever i am doing for deadlifts on that day and go for as many reps as you can and i'll do the same?

Rarrrrrrrrr!!!!;) Lol I plan on joining the army either officer or enlisted, so that unfortunately is already ruining some of my plans for beastliness. 5 mile runs just kill muscle mass:( But so far I am still making good progress with 3 days a week of running, if I go enlisted and try out for army rangers that will up to running 1-2 times a day 6-7 days a week:( Thanks for the compliment though:D

Jdid + em: I don't really think jdid is being a pussy, however I do think if he gets a camera the actual competition will not hurt his routine at all, it didn't for me and in fact so far has been a welcome change of pace.

I will do 225 rep out squat, 185 rep out bench, weighted pullups, and I'll also take a video of my rows and 1 handed power snatches to post in my fitness log.

Bench: 185x15 full lockout reps



Pullups: Bodyweight+55 lbsx3



So bench went alright, if I did typical bullshit rep out style no lockouts I could have done better. Pullups I didn't get my chin over the bar on 55x3, glad can I have a little break on that because as you see I have to cross my legs in front of me to avoid touching the ground and it makes it way harder. 1 handed powersnatch video is in my fitness log, I got 95x1 easily but couldn't get more:(

EDIT: Also on bench I forgot to set up properly so the bench was off balance and it made me off balance lol. I haven't done a rep out bench like this in a while so I ran out of endurance quick.
Bodyweight 190

I spoke to EM- he's starting a routine made by bblazer so we're going to hold off on it if we'll ever have it at all. I offered to have something where i do w/e weight i am using for deads and we do a rep out.

No problem don't worry about it:) I wasn't able to download footage to the computer for a long time from my videocamera because we didn't have the right software lol. Good luck with doing that all tomorrow. Make sure to take plenty of rest, you'll need it to catch up to my strength levels:evil::evil: :laugh2:
 
1 handed deadlifts: 255x1 no strap PR, 315x1 strap pr (left hand both)


All I got to do is the squats! Gladiator where are your videos lol didn't you promise them a while ago?

Really happy with the 1 handers, chalk HELPED SO MUCH! It added 40 pounds to my pr 1 hander no strap:)

Actually first prize is a pair of workout gloves, in addition to the prize em mentioned, and also a pink headband, plus some spandex workout pants to show off the glutes.

No but seriously gladiator where the fuck are you lol I only have squats to do and I am not going to do them till you post something up! But yeah there is no prize, afterall gladiator is going to kill me when he finally posts up, it is just for fun. EM was talking about a challenge with jdid, and gladiator asked if anyone wanted a challenge with me, and I said yeah, so here I am. Where is gladiator? Must be scared by my videos.............:p:rolleyes::D

10 mile run????!!!! WTF?

I'll tell you what, I'll go 80 feet with an 800 lb yoke instead.

And I think B Fold would be a good addition to this. He would kick my ass, but it would be fun.

Joe: I think my best total was around 1850 raw. But that was when I was a young man.

This past weekend I did just pull 455 for 9 in a strongman comp in 60 seconds. No touch and go - full stop, reset and pull. I think I had about 5 or 6 more in me if I had the time and it wasn't the second to last event.

Lol I was just kidding about the 10 mile run. I knew it would disuade you a little though:) Just curious but with that 1850 total, what was your:
Squat
bench
deadlift

I am mainly curious about the bench because I thought I remember you saying that your bench was your weakest point? But yeah I think more competitions on here would be a great idea, I want to see:

Jdid vs em
bblazer vs bfold
oso vs me(once he stops his stupid cutting diet lol)

And everyone could do:
fastest time to 100 reps bodyweight deadlift
Push and pull comp: heaviest weight for 20 reps on deadlift and bench
etc.......there are a million different fun comps we could do...and put some of them in the bookie section. Videos are a must too.

BTW, nice new avatar bblazer! I still think your last one was the coolest I have seen though.:)

I honestly don't remember the exact numbers, and the total could be off by 75 lbs either way. If I had to guess the squat was 690ish, dead 745ish and the bench 400ish. But like I said, that was in my youth and a few surgeries ago.

And now that I think about it, I think those numbers were equipped, not raw.

I was always a terrible bencher. I never gave it the attention it needed because I looked at it as a lift without any purpose. I have always been into (at some degree or another) functional strength, and the bench really does not have any basis in functional strength unless you are an offensive lineman, and then only maybe.

My best lifts have always been deadlifts. Then squats, then forms of the OHP. The way I look at it your body was designed to pick heavy stuff up off the ground and then do something with it. The dead, squat and OHP accomplish that.

A few years ago now I converted to a strongman workout. It just made more sense for me. I compete for fun now, and I really don't care where I place. I just go out, do my best, and go home. Sometimes I do well, sometimes I suck. I just make sure not to embarrass myself.

The other day I was at my neighbor's house where he was struggling with rigging something to put his boat back on the trailer properly. When he put it on at the ramp, he got it on all tilted and sideways. He is about a 35 year old tri athlete - and a good one. He's always giving me grief about the kind of workouts I do. I just walked over, put my shoulder under the motor, stood the stern up and slid it into position. That is the kind of strength that is important to me now.

Yeah functional strength is the best kind. Do you do any grip work? I think that is very important for functional strength. I think the most functional lifts are deads, ohp, and pullups, depending on what you are doing. I agree that squats are very functional, but I have always liked those other lifts more. So are you going to start some sort of challenge?

Well, I already have the 6000 lb challenge posted in the stickies in this forum. As for others, yea, I'm up for it.

I do, do grip work. Not crushers though. IMHO they are only good for closing crushers. I do things like pinching 2 45s together and holding them off the ground for time, farmers walk, frame carry, anvil carry, and rolling thunder.

Damn I want to get a rolling thunder! All the things I like, ie 1 handed deadlift, but much harder than regular 1 handed deads. I agree about crushers except I like doing holds ie where you take say a 150 heavy gripper and hold it shut for time. Also I think crushing grip is really important for stuff like one handed deads, at first I tried 205 and couldn't even get it because I didn't have enough crushing grip. Then I worked on my crushing grip, and was able to et up to 255 no strap.

Gladiator hurry up with the vids lol!

On a typical oly bar a crushing grip may work well, but when you get to things like a 3" axle it is really wrist strength that holds it since it wants to roll out of your hand. That's were things like Rolling Thunder come into play. You can get the handle for it over at IronMind for about $60.

Lol of course he will win me and glad knew that from the start.

Tblock: (current)
Bench: 3x3x235, 255x1 (probably could get 275x1)
Squat: 300x5
Deadlift: 380x5 +380x4
military press: 150x5

Gladiator:
Bench: 375x1
Squat: 405x2?
Deadlift: 475x5?
Military press: 225x5 (he does btn press)

The only thing I might have him on is the 1 handed deadlift without strap because he doesn't practive grip stuff.
 
I think i could do decent on one of these comps. ill have to get a vidoe camera and get in this shit.

Im 5'10 198 lbs. have done a few cycles in the past but havent for a while. Im cutting right now but am still pretty strong havent been loosing much strength, taking it slowly

my best lifts as of recently are
325 bench-
405 squat
495 dead(with straps tho)
250x2 jerk

Lol of course he will win me and glad knew that from the start.

Tblock: (current)
Bench: 3x3x235, 255x1 (probably could get 275x1)
Squat: 300x5
Deadlift: 380x5 +380x4
military press: 150x5

Gladiator:
Bench: 375x1
Squat: 405x2?
Deadlift: 475x5?
Military press: 225x5 (he does btn press)

The only thing I might have him on is the 1 handed deadlift without strap because he doesn't practive grip stuff.

nice work on all! That squats video was funny because you could see the gap between the plates getting wider and wider! Then at like 1:10 you try to get it back together lol! So why aren't you doing 1 handed deadlifts?
 
So far:

Tblock:

Bench: 185x15
Squat:
Deadlift: 315x15
Military press: 135x9
1 handed deadlift: 255x1 no strap, 315x1 strap
pullups: 55x3 (if you count the third rep)


Gladiator
Bench: 185x29
Squat:
Deadlift:
Military press:
1 handed deadlift: 205??? I'm guessing that was your no strap max?
Pullups: 70x2

So Tblock= 1
Gladiator= 2

And glad will probably get everything else lol

Nice dude! How did in front feel compared to btn, it seems like it must be a lot harder if you got 14? I just don't have the flexiblilty in my shoulders to do btn, but my legs are really flexible lol! By the way, I just deadlifted 445 today:)

Honestly they are harder because it is a larger ROM, but I have noticed my back shoulders coming out a LOT more. So Im gonna switch it up between BTN Military, regular bb military, push press in front, and db military. Also my endurance sucks. I am not a flexible person lol

good job on the deadlift! Im at 475x5 right now, I already did deadlifts but its on a video camera that cant plug into the computer since its old, so im gonna do them again on tuesday.

Yeah I can stand on a platform and reach like a foot past my toes lol, but I just can't do btn military. I can't reach behind my back and touch the opposite arm:( I like your stratehy of switching it up, I am doing split jerk and loving it, plus I do db military seated.
Sorry you have to do deadlifts again lol! I'll have the 445x1 video up soon;)
