How to compete and Who competes?

If you are new to this blog see first post: http://speedstrengthcombine.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-competition-events.html

To compete post your lifts:  I will keep a running tally of the top scores and this will evolve as time goes on and more scores come in.

Post in the comments:  your 1 RM (or how many reps up to 7 at a particular weight) in the Bench, Dead Lift and either the Squat or the Military Press (done standing pressing the bar up from resting on your chest over your head see pic).  Post your 40 yard dash time, 400 m time and either your broad jump distance (in inches) or our 5-10-5 shuttle time.  Or use the web based calculator to submit scores or just what you might score.    Here is the link:

By posting scores from data submitted via this blog, any individual competitor can compete with anyone of any age or gender (there is an algorithm that accounts for female competitors) in the world who has posted their results.  Of course, anyone can lie about their lifts and times in events, but such a thing would be pointless as their is no reward to those with the top scores.  The objective is simply for competitors to have a goal to shoot for, see how they compare with competitors around the world who fall into their same social stratus and so on.  As scores are posted, and a large number of scores are tallied, top competitors will be featured.  Those in the top 5% of scores will be required to submit a link to a youtube video proving their scores.  A video of each event will be required.  Obviously, this will not be fool proof in weeding out those who might still feel the desire to misrepresent their lifts or times, it will make it less likely to be rampant.  In addition, it will serve as a platform for those who do achieve phenomenal scores to be featured and gain some minor degree of notoriety for their achievements and hard work.  More details on what information will be required to be posted in the top 5% will be forthcoming  as the competition evolves.  One objective is to avoid including professional or semi professional athletes in this competition.  However, while I doubt professional athletes would be drawn to this type of competition, there is no foolproof method to exclude a professional athlete from competing.
