ATHF: Competition: 10/07/10 Weighted Chin ups : Event number: 004

[Deeko]

While there is a formula out there that takes into account weight & age...I think we're a bit too far along to get into that.

I'll be in 2 categories for this comp, I'll be below 231 by the end of the month so I'm not sure how you want to handle that. Also my chin ups are weak as hell, I'm sure I could have gotten more just wanted to get a rough idea as to where I am.

Doesn't matter where you start mate, it's where you end up so keep plugging away. The more you train and the more consistent you are the better you will be mate so keep at it :thumbsup;

As for your weight, we can put down your best entry in terms of % bw as you have previously done that in the set time

It just complicates things

Pathetic but thats ok, I knew I wouldn't do very good here. At least it's an improvement though.

I wanted to get a video of this, but forgot the end date was today until I checked briefly this morning. I didn't have a camera or camera phone around. I wasn't sure if I was gonna get this since 48kg worth of KBs was pretty challenging, but I got my chin just barely above the bar. That's a 33lb PR.

Nice lifting SC.

I don't think it was good. If the judges of ATHF agree with that assessment, ignore the below entry

Name: Deeko
BW: 70.3 kg : 155 lb
Result: 56.7 kg : 125 lb
Class: 77 kg : 169 lb
%OfBody: 80.65%

Thank ya.

That's a tough call. Your chin isn't visible in the video because of your shoulders. It's close, that's for sure.

No way to tell from the video whether you got the chin over or not. The initial pull was short, but you managed to keep inching up after that and it definitely looked close. Good effort either way.

 

[Deeko]

Yes - the camera angle was awful. I haven't figured out a good camera angle for these yet. The setup at this gym is not really conducive for that.

In the end...while I like new PRs, its not going to change my ranking in this competition anyway, so it really doesn't matter.

Mate, you know if it was over or not. If you say it's over it's good enough for everyone else.

Congrats on all of your results!

Updating the results as we speak!

Well, the thing is, did my chin touch the bar? Yes. Was it the front of the bar, or the top? I don't know, its hard to tell these things when you're grinding like that, and that extra inch is the difference between almost and enough.

But, like I said...for the purposes of this contest, its a moot point, as my ranking wouldn't change anyway.

Dude, your not a lawyer, just give it to us straight.

WAS YOUR CHIN OVER THE BAR? Yes or No, that will do lol

If your not sure I would scratch it as a no and get it next time mate

[MrMatt]

bump? What happened to this?

 

[MrMatt]

bump again. did this competition die?

 

[Deeko]

This competition ended some time ago. Or do you mean, "whats the next one"

If that's the question, my vote is for bench press.

 

[StageLeft]

here is someone with 208

I could get up higher than that, sorry I have no access to a video camera

What's with these chumps on youtube cheating with all their "impressive" lifts? That guy kicked like his life depended on it.

Yah, I meant when the next one is starting. Koing?


I'd vote for bench press as well, haven't done that yet I believe

Always the big football players/bodybuilders pushing for the bench press

 

[Koing]

Someone create it then

I can help with editing etc as I'm a Mod. So if someone else could run it, that would be great.
