Challenge: Fly it 300+, bench, squat and deadlift 3,4,5 plates, respectively.

[Rosco1216]

So another topic, not to be named, got off track with a $5k bet that 2 people on this forum could not fly it 300+ consistently, bench press 315, squat 405 and deadlift 495 for reps.

 

Unfortunately that has fizzled out and was unrelated to the OP and some of the terms for proof to verify were unrealistic. I'm confident there are guys out here that can. I will be attempting it and posting results, pass or fail, simply because I love a challenge, love golf, and love working out.

 

So I started this to see who out there can do this..

 

Terms:(raw with wraps is acceptable)

-Fly it 300+ consistently with the Driver(trackman verification)

-Bench press 315(2 or more) using proper form

-squat 405(2 or more) using proper form and depth

-deadlift 495(2 or more) no bouncing 2nd rep.

(Please don't hurt yourself attempting this..guys who truly know what they are doing please)

You should add run a 6 minute mile to this. I don't think any member could do it.

 

Who was the member?

[scratchswinger]

Nobody can do it.

[MtlJeff]

I can run a sub 6 minute mile easily, can I get like 300$ for just that?

How many reps on the DL? And what's "consistently" on the driver carry?

[Rosco1216]

For reps so technically just 2.

For reps so technically just 2. I stated his latest requirements in the OP. It's comical because according to him, trackman is not accurate. So the requirements are basically hoops that are impossible to jump through within the week.

 

Don't think I can bench 315 for 2, but the rest is possible

[djmohab2]

I love this place

[scratchswinger]

Reps is not two, that's called a double. "Reps" is generally 4 or more.

 

I agree with forged in regards to squats. It needs to be parellel depth, not vanity half squats.

 

@Rosco - can you PM me your IG handle? 385 for 10 is not the same as 500 for reps.

 

Sorry but I just don't think anyone or this foreman could truly do this.... I mean it could be done, I don't think it's impossible but those are not light weights. I would love to see someone try.

Unfortunately the member who made the bet says trackman is not accurate and can't be use for proof of being able to fly it 300 consistently. His requirements, once a couple members claimed they could do this, are as follows...

Average of 6 times in a round of competition, with a respected member of this forum, using course obstacles such as trees or cart paths to estimate actual carry distance. He gave 2 weeks deadline, in December and 3 weeks into winter here in the states.

 

Any members who can accomplish this "impossible" feat? Oh and you can't be on PEDs or "fat as crap"(whatever that means)

 

I mean you were throwing your IG around so I looked at it. You have a video doing 365 in a smith for like 8 reps IIRC. Thats equivalent to ~ 185x5 real squatting IMO.

 

Just saying it's kinda silly to be throwing around you can do XYZ when your instagram that you reference has you doing squats on a smith

[DickieThon]

That weight/reps combo is tough. I'm decently long and lift regularly, but I definitely can't meet the weight/length/reps combo. Maybe if one of each was required I could pull it off, but you're asking "who's the Hulk?"

[pinhigh27]

And you're bouncing 315 deadlifting which isn't looking so easy. So I'm also gonna call BS on repping 5 plates on the DL.

I'm well aware what i have on instagram was on a smith, as that is all planet fitness has and that was my gym at the time. What i had previously on my instagram feed wasnt intened as my current video proof as I'm aware a smith doesn't count.

Deadlift means dead weight I.e: no bouncing, complete stop.

 

[farmer]

If the bar with the plates was on the floor, I could roll it around. Can't come close to flying it 300 unless I carry it in a pick-up.

365x10 "bouncing" without straps isn't easy on the last reps. Pulling 495 twice is the only struggle i'd have this week. i've done it but i was at 205 at the time, 190 now.

 

Plus I didn't have full bumper plates and wasn't going to drop 365 10 in a row in a gym where dropping and banging weights around is "frowned upon"

I'm well aware. which is why it doesnt count as proof. i never said it did.

ok 365 my bad. still 365x10 =!= 495 for reps. and 495 twice isn't for reps either. 365x10 is like low mid 400s. being 190 you might pull more than 205. more efficient starting position.

 

you're strong I'm not trying to knock it. I'm just saying it doesn't appear that you can hit the standards you are saying you can. I bet you can hit the bench. I wouldn't bet on other 2

Reps in this regard is 2, as the guy stated.

[DickieThon]

The squats I think I could do. The 300+, depends on whether I'm having an A+ swing day, but maybe once or twice a season I can pull that off. The bench and DL are big asks for anyone who also plays good golf.

[Kuuuch]

Lol don't think anyone could do it on here. Carry 300 is a long way, bench 315 x2 I'm sure some can, and the squat and deadlift nope especially going past parallel and not bouncing.

[scratchswinger]

Someone just let me know when this is accomplished. Until then it's all talk.

Bench and squats are easily do-able. squat the easiest. i have been on a cut since november 1 in preparation for a show i was planning on doing in January. which a 15lb cut in 5 weeks, stength goes down.

[Pure745]

I did 405 x 4 on DL on Friday.. I can barely get out of bed now.. I'm out. :alcoholic:

[mosesgolf]

Holy moly there are some strong dudes on WRX. Kudos to you strong bulls.

[Rosco1216]

In an attempt for Scatch and pinhigh to stop throwing shade at me. Giving my instagram handle to show videos was not my attempt at proof, i obviously dont take lots of videos of myself to post on social media but my fiance likes snapchat and planet fitness, which i hate. Also, I'm well aware what is done on a smith machine doesn't count. they were just the videos i had from the gym i was at at the time. The ONLY part I'd have trouble with, at this point in time, is pulling 495 twice. i have done it but that was last winter at 205-208 bw after bulking for 3 months, height is 6'1". I am at 190 currently and haven't lifted for strength gains since March.

 

The point of this topic was to find the guys on here that can. i'm 6'1" 190 and currently at this point in time can do 3 of them no problem and have done the deadlift portion last winter. I'm quite small in stature compared to ThunderBuzzworth and he can do it. i'm sure there are big guys on here than can too.

[MtlJeff]

I can barely bench my TV remote, or do a squat without removing the weight of my own shirt. Let me know when we are back on mile times you meatheads

[SullGolf]

This thread is awesome.

 

Someone give me a ring when anyone wants to make a $5 bet on if someone can hit it 240, run a 9 minute mile, and squat the bar. I'm your man.
