Profile pic: TeamKonkura Challenge created by:

Challenge for: male and female competitors

Challenge goal: improve general fitness

Challenge targets: whole body

Level: suitable for all competitors

Age: any age

What does this challenge involve?

Parallel bar dips.Respect it, Do it, feel it, love it, f*ck it.
The aim of the game is to do as many reps as you can with:
(1) perfect posture.
(2) controlled tempo.

*RULES*
NO swinging the knees. NO partial reps. NO using speed as momentum.
_In the negative phase(eccentric, lowering)
(1)The arms must be bent at 90 degrees. (2)The elbows must be in a straight line, parallel with the shoulders.
(3)Upper arms must be parallel to the floor
(4)The tempo (pace) must be slow and controlled.

_In the positive phase (lifting, concentric):
(1) Lift until arms are straight
(2) The tempo must be controlled.
(3) Do NOT use other body parts such as knees, to lift yourself up. NO bouncing.

*You are allowed to attach free weights to you.
*You are NOT allowed to use an assisted dip machine.
*Only parallel bar dips. NOT the bench ones.

*IMPORTANT!!!*
The score is weight (bodyweight or bodyweight+ free weight in KGS) + reps. Example: 100 kgs + 10 reps= 110 (score)
_BE HONEST about your weight (man up!!)

A score must have a video to back it up.
A score must have math addition. Example (90 kgs(bodyweight) + 20 kgs (weights) + 20 reps = 130

*Scores without videos will be removed*
*Videos with bad posture and disrespect of the rules will be removed*

This is a strict strength challenge. There are many rules but this is to make sure that competitors understand. Speedy, sh*t posture will not be accepted.
The video posted with the challenge just shows what I'm talking about. Going deep and controlled on the lowering phase and arms straight with no swinging at the lifting phase.

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”

  • I'm not convinced by (weight+reps). Why not (weight x reps)? then your bodyweight will really get factored in
