The Official Race to 1500 Thread

The Race to 1500

Rules:
-Race is to a 1500 pound 3 lift total (squat, bench, deadlift)
-This thread will be for posting PR's affecting your total, or general taunting of the other competitors (i.e. "ChaseT. is a sheep shagging cum belt", "Enright is a midget who deadlifts less than DW"). No need to post workouts here because we all keep seperate logs.
-Lifts can be performed at any time during the contest to count towards your total. I.E; they don't have to be performed in the same session or day.
-IPF rules apply – for all three lifts. Minus the verbal judge commands, obviously. Bench paused, crease of hip below top of knee for squat, deadlift held fully locked without ramping or downward movement of the bar, etc.
See: http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/IPF_rulebook_2007.pdf
-USAPL/IPF rules on raw - belt, wrist wraps and neoprene knee sleeves (NOT WRAPS). Noother supportive gear.
-We all record most of our PRs - so that should not be a problem, but I think we should have video proof of new PRs. For max's that count towards your 1500 total, video is absolutely required (unless it is done at a USAPL/IPF competition where written proof of a successful lift is available). In the case of questionable lifts, TheNerdKing will the be official judge. The burden is on you to provide sufficient evidence to rule on a lift, so pick a good camera angle. I would suggest submitting all Page Ranking's because we can point out flaws or technique issues to help each other.
-One week for someone to match after the 1500 total is reached. This will get you out of paying up, but does not entitle you to the victors spoils. Whoever gets there first gets the prize.
-Losers each must buy the winner a nice pack of beer. $15 dollar limit. If you do not want to ship alcohol (technically it is felony), there are places online to order beer and have it delivered legally to the winner, or you can Paypal 10 or 15 bucks, or another prize can be donated of equal value if the winner doesn't care for this.
Decent online store: Liquid Solutions: Purveyors of World Class Beer, Tea and Coffee
-Cutoff date to join is Sunday, March 2, 2008.

To be fair to Enright, DW's current claimed deadlift PR is more than yours as well, Donut.

It’s cool. I'm positive that DW can deadlift more than me. I'll put up 500 in about 3-4 weeks. I'm also sure that when I finally max my squat, it will be a weight will exceed his deadlift max. But – I’m also not 169.

SHUT UP WHITE BELT SCUM!

Enright knows I'm kidding I would think, and his squat makes me sob at night.

Looking at my deadlift numbers make me cry. My front squat max is only 50 pounds lighter than my deadlift max. bwahahahahahahahahahahahah

Anyway - I don't push for 1rm maxes all that often. I'm confident I can crush all three now (except maybe my deadlift....

).
