For 2023, I'm going to be doing a (presumably barbell) "Squat Big Plates For Reps Challenge". Like I said last year, if it's just me in my garage, that's cool, but the more the merrier.
Categories are 135lb, 225lb, 315lb, 405lb, 495lb, 585lb, etc. and the goal is to squat as many reps as you can in a single set with the weight. Obviously, be safe and smart and don't hurt yourself.
Squatting can be done high bar, low bar, overhead, Zercher, goblet, pistol, supportive equipment or raw, monolift or walk out the weight, natural or not, a#@ to grass or not - up to you!
The only "guidelines" are:
*squatting depth is preferably (though not necessarily) at least something close to parallel or below
*lifts should be done between 1/1/2023 (12:00am) and 12/31/2023 (11:59:59pm)
Video is nice, but not necessary. This is a friendly and informal affair.
I might make a sub reddit group or something for this if there are enough people interested to warrant one. Let me know what you think. I'll try to make a video sometime soon and post it.
