Shades - Linear/Single Factor 5x5 Progess

[Sassy69]

And the race to 500 is on! Maybe it should be a karma bookie event...?

I was thinking the same thing! I'd have put it up already if I were plat.

Whoever decides to host it (sarge?) should probably make Shades the favorite since he has a higher current 1RM despite not having deadlifted in a while.

Possible odds:
Shades - 80/100
mm107 - 100/100

Max bet between 3000 and 5000, perhaps, since this is just for fun and most of the bettors will be karmically impoverished training forumers anyway.
Close date of next Tuesday since that'll give people until the next SF5x5 deadlift workout to bet (not that 500 will fall this week, but it seems like as good a close time as any).

Oh, and I'll insure the bookie against a loss on the event.

Lets do It.
I got 5,000 on myself.

Im only on week 3, starting week 4 of my 5x5. Since its a Race Shades can do it anytime, but i know im not gonna attempt untill atleast week 6. My strenght is coming along nicely, and if i go for 500, i know im gonna need several days off from my training lol. But fuck if shades does it in 2 weeks, God Bless lol.

This is GREAT. This will make me work my deadlift in such a way i wouldnt have before(just up a notch lol)

Eat Big Train Hard

Sounds good to me. I am starting week three next week and I have no clue when I will attempt the 500. Jumping from 445 to 500 in a few weeks is a tall order and I'll work at it my best!
