405 Squat Challenge

[Mehdi]

400lbs squat is too big of a jump, would take to long to get there. I'm in for a 400lbs deadlift though

[tenkev]

Count me in!!

My stats:
Age: 26
Height: 6'2''
Weight: 220 lbs
Current 5x5rm: 275lbs

Never even attempted a 1RM on squats. But this is too fun to pass up.

[monkeyboy]

I'm in. No idea what my max's are, could be fun ti find out.

How about some proof when someone claims they got it. They have to video the attempt. Everyone cool with that.

Some people may not have access to a camera... such as me.

I don't have a video camera either, but I have a digital camera. And believe you me, when I hit 405 (win or not) there WILL be a picture! I'm thinking wall poster in the old 'House of Pain', AKA my garage.

But seriously, pic/video would be great but seeing as there is no real way to verify it, kind of a gentlemen's agreement. We're all pretty honest folks here I believe.

[danmarmu]

Sounds good then, but you may want to get a camera. That is some serious weight for anyone and having that picture will be worth a thousand words for anyone who wants to talk smack about you.

I agree though, gentlemen's agreement. I will post video when I reach it.

Javanek,

You and I have almost exactly the same stats. Scary.

[Rugger]

I'm fine with a gentlemen's agreement, but I will be posting a video or picture when I win.

Also, stats:

Age: 18
Height: 6'
Weight: 180lbs
Estimated squat 1rm: 350lbs (We'll find out on Friday)
Estimated squat 5rm: 325lbs
Last squat 5x5: 315lbs

[LiftingNerd]

Rugger you and I are the lightest ones in the little foray I think. Let's try and represent for the little guys.

[Young Athlete]

Yep don't expect it when I come out of no where after I beat mehdi in my current lifting contest, you guys will all see

[javanek]

Javanek,

Is kinda weird isn't it? I'm going to add some 355 - 365 walkouts next week and see if that makes some jumps in weight faster. No little guy is going to get a head start on me.

:twisted: Yep don't expect it when I come out of no where after I beat mehdi in my current lifting contest, you guys will all see

But that the 2x BW contest - which is so much easier when you weight less than 150lbs.

hehe bad use of my english, I meant after i beat mehdi, i'll come and beat you guys also! just joking around though

[Nilan666]

lol! This will be good fun. I'll be here just as a spectator though. Will focus only on getting to 1.5xBW first

[Daniel]

I'm in, I think I'm up for the challenge, and I need a nice number goal to focus on now that I'm very close to 2X bodyweight.

Bodyweight: 163 lbs on friday
Squatted: 3x3 for 245/275/310 on friday

Tomorrow I'm going to test my 1 RM. I'm shooting for 330 lbs.
