My personal best is 90 out of 100 with perfect form here – again form and quality is key. This is very advanced and not for everyone.
RULES OF THE MANTATHLON
THE EVENTS
There are five events performed
1. Bodyweight Bench Press for Reps
2. Bodyweight Chin-ups for Reps
3. Half-Bodyweight Overhead Press for Reps
4. 1.25 Bodyweight Dips for Reps
5. Half-Bodyweight Barbell Curl for Reps
You get one attempt for maximal reps during the competition.
STOP WATCH
Once you start your bench press test the clock begins. You have 20 minutes to complete all the tests. Any repetitions completed after 20 minutes have elapsed won't count toward your point total.
You must perform the tests in order, but the rest you take between tests is up to you. I suggest 3-4 minutes between each test, but keep an eye on the clock so you don't run out of time for curls.
WEIGH IN
Start by weighing yourself on a scale. Guessing won't cut it, as most people seem to magically lose 10 pounds before the Mantathlon begins. Since the entire event is based on bodyweight.
SCORING
A very important point: if you reach 20 repetitions on any exercise, that's the maximum score. Even if you can do more, 20 signifies the end.
Once you've performed all five events or run out of time, add up your total number of reps. A total score of 100 is the ultimate goal for this test.
