Power cleans only or full clean for these measures? I'm close to 1.25x. . .it's hard weighing 200 lb sometimes, the thought of cleaning 300 lbs is really intimidating.

I think that's a real good idea. Keeps everyone involved. Once we get the logistics worked out on this, maybe one post will be records and the other will be the club posts. So the thread will have 2 often updated posts. In the meantime, I'm just going to leave all your posts there for now.

That's right bitches, come get me! I'm on a (row) boat muthfukas!

You could use the rippetoe/kilgore strength chart for this...1.5x is considered advanced i think

great idea smiley.

as far as videos i think we should start out with no requirements for videos but as we go forward smiley can take comments from people and use his discretion to require videos for whichever lifts and from whichever people he feels the need.

where do we post whiteboard lifts? i trap bar deadlifted 100KG 5 times today

Fyi, ima gonna take a shot at that concept2 2k time. I'll try and get one in next weekend; 2ks are brutal though. Most of guys I know *aim* to vomit at the end; I've watched my bro pull something like 6:15 though... sick.

good idea. i think you actually found a good use for those tables. make it the "advanced club" for each lift. i like it because the multiplier*bw formula kinda fails for heavy people. i think doing anything like the sinclair coefficients is too much though.

What resistance is the C2 supposed to be on?

i'm laughably far from advanced in squat/deadlift but am there in the bench and close in press.

advanced seems like lightyears away

I think we should have to have videos for everything. It would make the thread cool if everyone was posting videos. Plus I never believe anything until I see it.

I am suprised I am past advanced(well below elite) in bench and press. I would not have thought that.

Post 'em here. But unfortunately trap bar deadlift isn't something many people do so it's not a whiteboard lift. Straight bar baby.

I have PC's as a barbell lift, and clean and jerk as an o-lift (so full squat will work there). That cool? 1.25 is solid at 200lbs, do it and get your name up imo!

Good idea, although I think "advanced" will probably end up being top 3 for a lot of lifts. Then again, intermediate is probably too light. Arg.

re; videos. I'm going to put up anything a reg posts for now. If the competition gets fierce and people starting bumping people off I might start requiring videos - especially for sketchy stuff like squats. Also, more videos the better obviously because it will make the whole thing way more fun. But for now I'd rather just get lots of people involved. Speaking from personal experience, getting video isn't always the easiest thing.

Also, personal PRs which are sure to fall within the day/week.

Press 5x130
Snatch 154
Cindy 20 rounds (I might just take this down in a few days because I'm now sure about my ROM...but for the sake of getting the whiteboard active I'm going to count it.)

one of my reasons for changing my opinion on this was that not requiring videos makes it possible for debates to be started where one person can finally look like an idiot if the other provides a video after the fact to prove the lift happened.

vids are fun.

I did a 310lb squat, one rep, like a month ago, thats only thing maybe semi-remotely ill have on any of these leaderboards.

i think the top 3 squats will be 350+

haha yeah that is the only good reason. that might be fun.

AFAIK the C2 doesn't have a resistance that you put it on. The more force you use, the more resistance you'll meet. That's the trick of the thing.

I thought C2 has resistance. Shemp has posted on this. (J Brown you need to stalk him IMO). If you want to mimic water, google it. If you want to maximize work output, google the crossfit stuff. IIRC higher for sprint, lower for distance and has a lot of personal tweaking depending on preference.

The concept2 has resistance settings 1-10, a little lever on the fan. It doesn't matter what you use, and most competitions allow the participant to select it themselves. Set it too low and you won't transfer your power into the stroke, set it too high and you'll die after the tenth stroke.

Most peoeple are comfortable between 5 to 7. Some girls use 4.

FYI, from the c2 thread.

I think it would be good to expand the lists to top 5 to make it more competitive and a little more accessible for people.

I'm going to go attempt the 100m run(dash?) for time in minute. Will be video taping. I'd say there is a 40% chance my knee will give up on me at some point during the run. What's an expected time for me here do you think? 12 seconds? More/less?

Anyway, I'm not expecting a time that will be tough to beat, but I'm going to get as many scores on this board before the athletic people show up

Advanced seems too high but intermediate seems a little too easy. Nevertheless, I think intermediate should be tried first. It's still an accomplishment so it's not to the point where everyone gets a ribbon. Something fun for the noobs and/or weaklings like me to shoot for. Or there could be an Advanced Club and an Intermediate Club.

See the previous posts. The various club awards are for accessibility. I think 5 will clutter it up too much.
