Oh, good call, D for the win, ya?! haha I couldn’t recall if it was all out on the 30th, or 30 singles then all out, ah well, it all comes out in the wash!

Unofficially 30mins EMOM Singles, and 11reps on the 31st minute (If we count that last rep, lol)
Someone may want to count that to verify, I’m not trustworthy…

Here I was thinking you would die if you did what you had programmed, and you almost die doing the challenge. I gotta stop giving advice.

Fantastic job @littlesleeper! Very inspiring stuff. I’m going to count that as equal to @T3hPwnisher as you did an extra minute, but that wasn’t in the challenge lol, and you both got 11 reps. Does that sound cool to both of you?

Well I’ll argue the extra stiffness of the axle increases the difficulty by more than just 1 rep in a minute…so you should be on top. lol

In conclusion following that intense debate, I declare you two still tied.
In any case it won’t matter when I get 12 reps… Lol

Came in with only 365 for 7 in the EMOM challenge. Started off with 5s pro:
265x5, 295x5, 335x5, 365x7 singles EMOM(failed on lockout of 8 due to grip failure, probably partly from doing farmers carries yesterday), then finished up with 185x3x10. Wanted to get the full BBB sets but I’ll gladly trade the last two sets for the heavy singles

Great job man!
6 reps on the redo. #6 felt awful but the video shows that I maintained a bit of form. Started recording at #3 b/c I only planned to record 1 rep as proof that I tried.

Great stuff! That last rep looked very solid to me man 
I did the challenge today and, to my great surprise, managed all 30 minutes. Unfortunately I failed my second rep on the final set just above my knees, but I’m still very happy with the result. I used a belt and mixed grip with 185kg (407lbs).
I’m really looking forward to seeing what damage my boy @MaazerSmiit can do with this!

Oh snap. Awesome job! Was there a particular minute marker where things started to get a little ‘iffy’?
My first 20 reps I felt like I could do the challenge all day, then 26-27 I remember thinking “I’m glad this challenge is capped at 30mins”.

Thank you sir! Yes for sure, it went in a few phases lol. Rep 1 felt like a speed rep, but each rep got harder until about rep 4 where I settled into a rhythm. I really thought at that point I was only going to get 5 or so reps because each rep was slower than the one before. Reps 5-12 weren’t as fast but they were all really solid. Starting at rep 12 my lack of conditioning really began to show lol, that’s when the sweat really started. Reps 12 to about 23 were pretty much as solid as before, but I was dripping sweat and breathing hard. After rep 23 I had to begin to grind more and more.
So for me there were 3 main phases: solid, sweat and grind. Lol.
@T3hPwnisher Thank you very much man, that means a lot!

Tried this today with 150lbs. From a deficit. That’s 75% of my 1RM got all 30 and 5 t&g. Should have switched to a mixed grip for the last pull. Left hand gave out on me. Grrrr!

Thank you!
@furo: add me to the list.
I made it through all 30 minutes of singles at 405 using chalk, mixed grip, no belt, no straps. I did it on tired legs (ran 10 miles yesterday) so I elected not to push my luck in the tiebreaker round, and sat on my 30 singles.
BTW, it’s very cool to see how many people have taken this up, both the “Rx’d” version at 405 as well as the folks who have performed their “Scaled” versions. I think they key for our future challenges is coming up with things that don’t significantly disrupt people’s normal training, and things that appeal to a wide audience. Thanks to all who have participated!
