I know I sound like a huge party pooper on these forums, and I know I usually read too much into stuff, but contests are not good things (coming from someone who used to compete in power lifting events). I think that "competing" against anyone but yourself leads to the wrong mindset.

Although I would enjoy winning a prop bet, I don't see it happening-- and I basically agree.

I kind of wanted something to shoot for on my own with OHS. The ideas I've seen are 1x15 at bodyweight or high reps at 95 pounds (Crossfit). And there is Crossfit's "Nancy."

edit: Maybe I should add, I'm not interested in trying to get near a 1RM.
