Million Pound Challenge **Weightlifting**

[scabzzzz]

Here is yesterdays workout:

Snatch
5x45x5 = 1125
88x3 = 264

Clean + Jerk
88x5=440
98x5=490
133x5=665
155x2=310

Squat
135x5 = 675
185x5 = 925
225x3 = 675
245x1 = 245
255x1 = 255

Pull Ups
1x10 @ 175lbs = 1750
1x5 @ 175lbs = 875

Total = 8,694
Seems weak. I guess I am doing the most complicated lifts possible though..

Thats how I calculated it. Pushups seem like a gray area because it's not total weight of your body your pressing, so I'm not sure how we'd do that.

I just realized I never double my dumbbell weight........holy crap haha. oh well it'll be higher next week.

I realized that halfway through haha.

I did it like this.


I wasn't sure on pushups or abs either... so I just din't count those haha.

There are a few other things I didn't count because I didn't know how.

PS. that's one hell of a workout haha

I like this. 6'2" 187lbs, 30 years old. I just want to make sure I am following this correctly. When you say 19,380lbs. You are counting your weight lifted multiplied by your reps multiplied by your sets? If so then what would you count for body weight exercises like push ups, pull ups, and dips? What about abs? What about hold your last rep for an extra 10, 15 or 20 seconds?

So my chest and shoulder day would be:

3 sets of 15 dips: 187 x 15= 2805 x 3= 8415
3 sets of 10 dumbbell bench press: 85lbs each dumbbell: 170 x 10=1700 x 3= 5100
3 sets of 10 cable flys: 70lbs each arm: 140 x 10= 1400 x 3= 4200
3 sets of 10 push ups: 187 x 10= 1870 x 3= 5610
3 sets of 10 dumbbell shoulder press: 60lbs each arm: 120 x 10= 1200 x 3= 3600
3 sets of 10 smith machine overhead shoulder press: 115 x10= 1150 x 3= 3450
3 sets of 10 shrugs: 135lbs each arm: 270 x 10= 2700 x 3= 8100
3 sets of 10 leverage incline chest press: 230 x 10=2300 x 3= 6900

8415 + 5100 + 4200 + 5610 + 3600 + 3450 + 8100 + 6900= 45,375?

That can't be right. Can you break it down so I can figure out how I can follow this? Thumbs up on the wife.

[ST1G]

Right on dude! The Mrs. came home with a total of 16,050lbs. last night....she almost made me look bad. Total moves to 36,370lbs.

Leg day is today....this could determine whether or not we move up our goal. Doing some head math I feel like I'm going to blow my chest numbers out of the water.

Yeah, I was thinking that a million pounds is about a 5 week proposition, but I'm thinking that with legs I'll get about 35k pounds which would speed it up, as well as the fact that more weight will be lifted each time due to strength gain.

[IronFreak]

I lifted 19,380 LBS. I'm surprised how much I actually lifted.

7000 calories? You're either embellishing dramatically, or you have a genuine medical issue (rare) limiting you from putting on weight with that sort of caloric intake. Giving up after only two weeks tells me you weren't taking it very seriously, and likely not consuming as much as you thought either.

GJ op, if I could get to your lifts in a few years id be pretty pleased.

Wish I could join... Im 6'2 and 176 now. Weight gain is a huge problem for me. I'll keep working out in support regardless - good luck yall

Same here. 6' and 150lbs. Tried eating 7000 calories a day for 2 weeks once. Gave up after I didn't gain a single pound.
