What is your recent PR or accomplishment?

natruallycurious

It seems that most people who aren't as dedicated to the gym or fitness just don't understand the level of excitement that comes with hitting a PR or accomplishing something new. Let me know if this is the wrong place for this thread, but I just wanted to give people somewhere to celebrate their most recent accomplishment!

My most recent ones are:
Chest to bar pull-ups
40lb weighted dip

KarenSmith2018

11.75kg weighted strict pull up this morning. almost 20% of my bodyweight!

kschildroth

360 lb leg press. Over 230% of my bodyweight.

laurenbastug

agreed! it's such an exciting feeling to see yourself progressing and getting stronger.

110 back squat, 130 deadlift and 230 leg press

BeccaLoves2lift

I barbell back squatted my own bodyweight this week!

I only do light strength training as cross training, but I ran my first half marathon this past Saturday! Not bad for a obese lady who only started running 11 months ago.

quiksylver296

245 lb squat
176.4 lb bench
375 lb deadlift

4 pull-ups with 25lbs on the weight belt

not_a_runner

Most recent: Squatted 135 lbs for 3x12 this week!


I was previously up to a 303lb competition squat and 275x8 reps, but I'm just getting back to lifting after being off for several months with an SI injury. Just happy I am able to squat pain free again.

Since you are modest and didn't mention that it was a hilly, icy trail half marathon, I will do it for you! Not bad? Freakin' fantastic!

Defeating an Olympic marathoner in a skyscraper stairclimbing race. (To be fair, he's used to running on level ground.)

Nice!

I ran my first sub 22 minute 5K in March. Okay, only by a few seconds, but it was good enough to get me my first age group (as in, old ladies over 45) first place finish in a decent sized race, so I was happy.

MeanderingMammal

Nothing major recently tbh. I did my tenth marathon in about 18 months in March.

BruinsGal_91

Admittedly it was only a small local 5k, but on Sunday I finished 4th overall, was the 2nd place woman and 2nd in my age group. I've been placed in my age group a few times now, but this is my first ever gender placing.

Damn girl.

Most recent. 135x5x4 strict overhead press was a fun one.

Not many PRs since my program kind of advice against testing for them at will

sgt1372

Rowing at least 10k meters a day for 31 days straight in March.

I cracked into the thousand pound club last week.
275 bench
340 squat
385 dead
I'll be 52 next month and I am delighted to say that I am the strongest I have ever been in my life.

Awesome work! Hella heavy bench compared to everything else.

I just nailed it last month myself

235 bench
345 squat
441 deadlift

My body is definitely designed more to deadlift than anything.

Nbaker0909

3.5 minute plank on my toes with a spot for posture/form

CrystalLFit

Deadlifted 215 yesterday. No belt, no wraps.

nelja

Cycled my first full marathon last Saturday (77km). Only cycled seriously for 3 and half months.
