One million kg in 24 hours

unit94 said:Hello people of Sugden, in the wake of the free school meals debacle I'm going to be doing a fundraiser to help provide meals for children over the Xmas period. I'm going to attempt to lift one million kg in the space of 24 hours, I haven't worked out my exact strategy yet but it's looking like mostly involving trap bar deadlift. If anyone that has done any endurance type challenges has any tips for me I'd be keen to hear them and if anyone would like to donate here is the link. There is a scheme that my gym are running for cooking meals for kids in the local area and the rest will be split between a couple of food banks depending on how much I raise.

I don't have experience in endurance tasks but have programmed some crazy amount of reps and sets in workouts for total poundage and id say the one thing you need to make sure you do is at bare minimum superset every single exercise if not circuits working opposite muscle groups as this will definately make a difference and obviously boat load of carbs, fluids etc Would love you to pull this off.
EDIT - just done a little calulation an id if you want to keep it to basic exercises and not machines something like 300kg x 5 trap bar or farmers picks on high handles inot 100kg bench press x 5 into 100kg bent over row x 5 would give you 2500kg. You need 694kg every minute so doing that in a minute would allow you 2.6 minutes between to stay on pace. You could also maybe throw in some shrugs or replace the trap bar with shrugs at times as short range so could get big numbers, especially farmer shrugs but yeah it is actually possible at least on paper.

I dont know if he can or cant do it, obviously a nutty task but if anyone can it would be unit, he's very fit for a strongman and bordenline a sized up crossfit athlete who already trains more than anyone else so it's not like other top strongmen trying it
