Watch an epic squat-battle between a Powerlifter, a Weightlifter, a Strongman and a Bodybuilder

That's brilliant!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0R68g184ag
Worthy of its own thread and a PH league!
100kg squats for me; managed 24 in the five minute period.
First time I've ever pushed on with such an exercise, i.e. took a little break between sets but then gone back to the bar really quickly while heart is still racing.
Breakdown of sets was 10:7:3:4
I certainly think I've got 30 in me, so will give it another go every couple of weeks or so.
Fun challenge; several other guys at the gym have said they'll have a go. It's good, because it's a fair lift for everyone (assuming they can squat their BW, of course!)

We know that it's gonna be harder as one gets heavier, the reduced gains one can get as one gets stronger/heavier. It'll always be a massive mountain for Smify.
Possibly some sort of formula could be made?
I estimate myself at 30-35...conservatively. I was doing BW when I was on my 25 rep routine last October.

Well i know i can do 30 at about 15kg over my body weight, because the first 3 sets of GVT are all over in 5 minutes. I reckon i'm good for at least 40 at bodyweight, maybe 50+Possibly some sort of formula could be made?

Might have to give it a go

You're only 150 now? Should be piss easy, woman up ffs.
Ok ok, new challenge. Everyone has to do AMRAP in 5 mins @ my body weight! I'm not designed to squat with a small planet on my back
Been focusing on conditioning during my cut so hoping that's a reasonable aim

I'll be trying later, 50 is the aim.

With 150kg on the bar? 10 reps a minute for 5 consecutive minutes would be impressive- that's basically a 5 min set with no rest, or a rep every 6 seconds- good luck!Been focusing on conditioning during my cut so hoping that's a reasonable aim

Totally fked up.
Used my phone to record, realised I had no timer so used the gym's ipod. Well the screen is about 2cm wide and turns off after 5 secs.
Missed timed my sets because I couldn't see to time breathing etc.
Managed 23 reps - 10, 5, 5, 3 and stopped about 10 secs short ffs.
Talking to my mate I should've gone all out first set. Should be able to hit 20 reps within 2 mins doing that.
Will try again in a few weeks, now I'm attempting 120kg AMRAP without re racking the bar. Not gonna be able to walk tomorrow and I've got to yoke (weather permitting)
Forget the reps @120kg, no power whatsoever. Did 10 and just nothing there
