Shoulder Press Results Are In
Filed under:
A random photo taken at the gym which I have gone
to for the past 4.5 years (captured in July 2005)
ODAY at the health club, I finally received some more results from the Mr. Fitness competition. I did very well at the fourth stage (among ten) compared to the other nine contestants. I shoulder-pressed 110 kilograms (1 repetition maximum, on a Scott Machine), giving me 2n place and leaving me in joint in 1st overall, on par with another competitor. This weight happens to be precisely 150% of what I was able to benchpress, excluding the weight of the bar.

Hi Roy,
Well done in the shoulder press. I see we are now level in the overall standings, with mainly fitness events remaining. I shall be in the gym most of this week power striding myself to glory!
See you soon,
Mike

Thanks, mate. I’m glad to see how friendly this competition has remained. It empowers everyone and gives a purpose to all this exercise.
