Looks like a shed load of fun!

Jonny did 53 reps deadlift with bodyweight in 1 minute (91kg) - Incredible!

Also, Concept 2 2000m, tyre flipping and dragging

This type of comp would be easy to set up! Anyone up for it?

    thx for this rob ! it was a great comp , probably my first and last win !!

    rowing is pain.

    would have preffered the drag to be a harness, but there you go , im happy !

    I bet the comp was great, I love this stuff!

    I did quite a few fitness comps and concept 2 comps in my lighter days a few years ago! The Missus is getting back into Concept 2 rowing. It's really addictive stuff! I did 6:07.5 for 2k when i was training hard.

    I think I was a torture lover! Doing that is the easiest way to turn 6mins into 6 hours! i used to have a concept 2 in my old cellar but sold it after I trained and did a 100k solo row (I upset my hormones for a whole week after). I should get on it again and lose some of this unwanted man blubber!
    You're still a repologist of the highest order. 53 reps DL BW is mental!!

    Cheers

    I was going to go to the British Indoor Rowing Championships (BIRC)last year as a lightweight but work came up and I had to travel away.

    6min7s would get you into Group A with the heavyweights (i.e. James Cracknell) at the BIRC.

    A friend of mine, who was in the Oxford boat club and now rows at Henley, went as a heavyweight and rowed 6min13s. I think he came about 12th.

    Graham Benton won with c. 5min45s, which I think is the world record.

    It sounds like you might be able to upset the applecart with a bit of dedicated training...

    And who would have thought you could find your true vocation as an endurance athlete, haha :-)

    All the best,

    Chris.

    Chris, the wife is hoping to do it this November hopefully so I said I would do it too. I never did the BIRC but did the northerns and came 3rd twice, I'll have more power this time round but a little less cardio methinks!! I think the world record is 5:37 set by some Polish fella in 2002 unless it's been broken since. Pure torture! But pure fun!

    Cheers Rob
