April Challenge - Weighted Dead Hang

#The Weighted Dead Hang for max weight

Congratulations to u/mattlikespeoples for heaviest finger curls in last month's challenge. GorillaStrength's u/David_Dennis will be in contact with you shortly. And congrats to our runner up: u/Jook8.

This month we'll be doing weighted dead hangs for 10 seconds (max weight).

#The Rules:

Add weight to yourself with a dip belt, backpack, climbing harness, or something similar.
Grab a bar with a double overhand grip and hang for 10 seconds. Underhand grip is not allowed.
Judging: Keep the bar, your entire body, and any added weight in frame the entire time. Mods will verify the 10 seconds; you do not need to keep a timer but it is encouraged. If you're counting in your head it'd be wise to hang a bit longer as it's normal to count fast when in discomfort. Weigh or show the stamped weights to the camera anytime within the same shot. You do NOT need to weigh yourself.
Scoring: Wilks calculation will be used with total weight lifted (body weight + additional weight). This makes weight and sex much less relavent, but still gives credit for the extra weight us fluffier folks have to carry around. On the calculator website, this means that "body weight + additional weight" are added together and used for the "Lifted weight" calculation in addition to your body weight.
Example calculation: You weight 100lbs and hang with +100lbs additional weight. You now enter 100lbs into "bodyweight", and +200lbs (!) (bodyweight+additional weight) into "lifted weight". Your Wilks score would be 103.63!
