Repetitions are done and successfully send for evaluation! Despite of the fact that participants were few I hope that Military Bench Press for Reps will stay in meet list also in the future. For the competition I try to recruit some of my fellow lifters.

The meet (aka lift) has been judged! Like last year, the judging was done manually from video as the judging interface does not (yet) support rep based events, hence there is also no progress counter above the forum as for regular meets.

The result will be out tomorrow. Thanks Juha!

PS. I'm not about to remove the Military Bench for reps from the meet schedule just yet. Let's see how it fares once we get more active lifters onboard, at the moment we are still relatively few and with this event being new to most people it is not surprising to see low participation. As an event, I think it brings great variety over all the max rep stuff. :)

The meet has been released! (http://virtualmeet.net/meets/201009mr/) A strong showing by Juha and clearly the best military bench for reps result here at Virtualmeet to date (see last year here (http://virtualmeet.net/meets/200908mr/)). Thanks to Juha, Christian and Wade who made it happen. :)

There is some interesting problem with the video that is probably a result of converting it into web format. It does not work when playing the meet itself, but does work (for me) if clicking the link in the results to get the single lift pop-up view (though the player timer does interesting things). I cannot fix this until this evening local time as I need my video editing stuff. Sorry for the problem and thanks to Marc Aube for alerting me to the problem.

Problem fixed. The problem was not actually with the video, rather I had made a small mistake when configuring the video player for it. Usually my meet scripts do this automatically, but since these rep meets are manual affairs I am editing everything by hand.
