The Lift and Run this weekend has no cap on reps, although the time deducted is
20 seconds, not 30. The "ridiculous 10% advantage" for turning 40 is even more
ridiculous in this race because at this race it is a 20% advantage. Men 40-49
only have to bench 80% of bodyweight. Women 40-49 only have to bench 50%. The
overall winner the past couple of years is a woman who benches 50% of bodyweight
roughly 70 times. Her net time is negative.

Although I have yet to get more than 25 reps in a competition, I thnik the
Arnold could certainly bump up the rep cap to reward the stronger competitors.

I plan to compete next year at Arnold I wish they would at least allow
35 reps before capping it. They don't cap the run time right? If I run a 16:30
then I will have a chance at winning, and at age 39 that will be an
accomplishment I suppose because at age 40 they give you the ridicuous 10%
advantage, Maybe at age 50 but 40?
I will look up the tactical strength challenge

thanks

A early Fall STREND is tempting, although I am already scheduled to
compete in a Tactical Strength Challenge on September 8, the NYC
Men's Health Urbanathlon on September 29 and the New York State USAPL
Powerlifting Championships on October 27-28.

As an aside, I have a Lift and Run this weekend. I participated in
the Arnold Pump and Run the past two years, and I told everyone I
competed with who you were after I noticed that you won the race in
2006. I finished only 98 places behind you that year.

Good luck at the track and field event.
