So backstory is, my mum is the head organiser of the Maitland Relay for Life, which last year raised something like 200,000+ dollars for cancer research/treatment and stuff, im sure its more than that but yeah. They outperformed the Newcastle relay which issl no small feat because Maitland is way smaller than the whole of Newcastle. And shes been running it for 4+ years. I usually help out with organising and events but never participated due to 'fuck running' and when I was competing in bodybuilding the comps fell on the same days as the Relay.
Mind you my mum has been running this without any family cancer issues. This year my mothers mother, my grandma, was diagnosed with a rare skin cancer, so I thought I might participate.
But fuck running.
So im thinking ill take percentages of bodyweight and squat, bench and deadlift for 24hrs, and hit up sponsors for an amount per rep.
This years relay is on the 8th and 9th of september I think.
So im looking for ideas, help etc
What would be good targets to aim for, im thinking 0.75kg bench, BW squat, 1.25kg deadlift.
With that hitting 42 reps an hour will get me the 1000reps each not including fatigue etc.
So if im sponsored 10c a rep for one lift ill raise 100 dollars. More sponsors and higher costs per rep across multiple lifts will raise more etc.
Would companies like Rogue/Iron edge be willing to sponsor/lend racks and bars for the events. Obvioualsly their contribution will be made known etc.
Whilst the weights wont be considerably heavy, the general public will be shocked by these 'imhuman' weighta, haha.
