Member 5859, 7 posts | The IFC is an independent fitness competition aimed at all strength athletes from Fitness models and Bodybuilders to weightlifters and other sports with the aim of finding the best all round physique coupled with the best performance! The IFC is dedicated to creating an alternative to fitness and bodybuilding shows, we aim to deliver a fair and transparent competition. A show that blends the best aspects of Bodybuilding and Strongman to create a unique and challenging competition open to everyone regardless of their background. So many fitness competitors train hard all year round but only get to showcase their physique which is a very subjective opinion not to mention the challenges it brings of trying to nail your condition for show day. We are looking for athletes to present a strong, healthy and toned physique which they can maintain year round and perform to the best of their ability especially when it comes to the events which is near impossible when dehydrated and in extremely low body fat. The Championships is based around 5 events that are designed to test your overall fitness and athletic ability. The Squat, Chin ups, Bench Press, Push Press and Deadlift. These will make up 50% of your overall score with the physique round making up the other 50%. Each event is based on the competitors bodyweight, ie if you weigh 85kg you must squat 85kg for 1 minute for as many (strict) reps as possible. After everyone has completed the first event the scores are added on to the athletes physique score and we begin the second event. Transparency and fairness are two of the key values of the IFC so there will be a clear point system in each event with the winner scoring the highest number of reps gaining 10 points for 1st place, 9 points for 2nd etc through to 1 point for 10th place. The overall winners will receive £1000 in Cash! The next competition is taking place on November 8th in London, if you have any questions please ask or if you would like to enter please go to www.officialifc.com/entry.php https://youtu.be/x-pH8s8tKdU | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | this is a great idea! I think id go for a strongman/baking combination. a kind of 'worlds strongest man' meets 'great british bake off'. the first element could be a cake baking competition, followed by a strongman competition. the added advantage being that everybody gets to eat cake after the strongman competition! win. | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | I think the lifting section could be put together better, bodyweight deadlift is way too light and it obviously massively favours lighter athletes. | ||

 Member 5031, 1417 posts SQ 230, BP 140, DL 275645.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | this sounds stupid. i'm sure any 90kg person who trains, can rep out 90kg squat easily, even if they're shredded physique people. They couldn't rep 180kg squat though probably. this seems like an idea to make physique competitors think they're strong | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts | Whatever next?! Partial bench pressing and measuring upper arm circumference? | ||

Member 5859, 7 posts | If its that easy then why not enter and walk away with £1000? Actually squatting 90kg for 1 min is not as easy as it sounds. Current record is 42 reps in 1 min at 85kg bodyweight. Killelay said:this sounds stupid. i'm sure any 90kg person who trains, can rep out 90kg squat easily, even if they're shredded physique people.

Actually squatting 90kg for 1 min is not as easy as it sounds. Current record is 42 reps in 1 min at 85kg bodyweight. It might not be easy but then again, it's not exactly a test of strength either. I'd imagine most people on here could squat BW for more than 1-minute so it's more of a race as to who can rep out the fastest. | ||

Member 5859, 7 posts | Possibly but how many can push press their BW or do chin ups for a minute, I think if you are a pure powerlifter then you may not think its about pure strength which would be correct, we already have powerlifting events for that, If someone wants to do bodybuilding then there are bodybuilding shows, this is something different which is still a challenge for many people and at the end of the day measuring strength is relative to the individual. slimsim said: It might not be easy but then again, it's not exactly a test of strength either.
