    Gem had the great idea of doing an event for charity here. I was talking to the lads running the Toys for Big boys show in the RDS about running my strongman competition again this year and thought it might be a good idea to do the event there? To put it in perspective the T4BB show gets a footfall of about 30,000 over the weekend, the Stephens green shopping centre gets around 20,000 visitors a day or the dundrum shopping centre gets around 30,000 a day. In saying that I'm sure I could get space for free in the T4BB show and I can provide the equipment needed if we were to do the 5000 dips, pullups ect.

    I was thinking aswell would it be an idea to add an element of competition to it, haw about getting two teams together, the fitness forum vrs the athletics/triathlon or mma forum? That way we could have a race to 5000 reps and have digital counters on the wall behind the activities.

    When is the T4BB thing on?

    I'm game anyway, once it doesn't interfere with any upcoming fights.

    yous would probably be better off giving the MMA lads a go, as yous would hammer us in the Athletics, we're very lazy when it comes to upper body, I'd be lucky if I could go passed 10 push ups
    Unless you guys got a few treadmills involved and worked out some king of competitive work out
    Good idea though

    Unless it was Fitness vs MMA / SD&MA vs Athletics....

    Fitness - to 5000 pullups

    MMA etc - to 5000 kicks / punches

    Athletics - to 5000 steps

    3 sets of pull up bars, 3 heavy bags, 3 treadmills. Who's better at thier speciality? :D

    I'm already feeling the competitive streak. :D

    5th of November suits me perfectly. Probably have a fight at the end of October so I should be free that weekend.

    Sounds cool, great idea Mickk.

    So it'd be two or three groups competing against each other to see who gets to 5000 push- ups/pull-ups etc first? Sweet!

    I reckon Fitness vs MMA vs Athletics - 5000 push ups, 5000 pull ups and I dunno, 250km on the treadmill?!

    You Know Gem, hot irish powerlifter, stronger than you, banned you a few times, you really should know her by now :D


    The original idea was 5000 pushups, 5000 pullups, 5000 dips, 5000 situps and 5000 either bodyweight rows or squats. I think bodyweight squats mightn't look impressive to passers by... With 25000 reps the aim could be to raise 25000 euro.

    Yeah true on the squats, maybe thrusters instead for added pain? :)

    How bout bench 1000 tonnes or something like that.
    Stick 50 on the bar in total, and start repping.

    prehaps a race between deadlifts/squats/benching to reach a certain weight?? Three teams
