    No new PBs for me, but we worked on grip. Plate pinches, farmer's walks and reverse barbell curl. My forearms are going to hate me tomorrow!

    Once again Deeva, fantastic result on the BP! :bigsmile:

    Happened last week. Had a guy come up and tell me that my squats were "the most impressive thing he's ever seen in this gym."

    405x5x5 Nothing like loading up 4 wheels and getting parallel wit it!

    Right now every workout is a new PR for me since I hadn't really touched the iron in a couple years. I don't expect to get back to my powerlifting PR's ever again but if I can get 3 plates on bench and 5 plates on squats and deads, I'll be pretty stoked. It'll take a while but I'm in no hurry.

    I'm doing a 5x5 now and I did 325x5 on deads and 290x5x5 on squats the other day.

    My all time PR's are:

    Bench- 475 in comp, 500 in the basement, all competition style.
    Squat 560 in a meet, 640 at home
    Deadlift- 585 in a meet. Never pulled more than that at home.

    I stopped squatting in meets and did only push/pull the last few years. My best meet total was 1050 for 2 lifts. This is all in the 45-49 year old division at anywhere from 245-255 bodyweight.

    Ok, so this isn't a PB, but I haven't done bench in a while. (PB is 1 @ 60kg)

    I'm 12.5kg away from current state champion BP for my weight class, which is so incredibly awesome (my PB is only 7.5kg away). Current champion lift is 67.5kg (149Lb)


    1 x 12 @ 20kg (44lb)
    1 x 12 @ 30kg (66lb)
    1 x 10 @ 35kg (77lb)
    1 x 8 @ 40kg (88lb)
    1 x 6 @ 45kg (99lb)
    1 x 4 @ 50kg (110lb)
    1 x 2 @ 55kg (121lb)

    Then to correct and improve on technique
    1 x 4 @ 40kg
    1 x 6 @ 30 kg

    ETA: Typos!!

    A lot of great accomplishments on here and congrats to all.

    My best 1RM was a long time ago when I use to focus on strength and power (football), but now I do more cardio running.
    Bench-365, Clean-315, Deadlift-605, Squat-600, Walking Lung 315 - 4 reps. Strong legs ran in the family :)

    Those were the days but that isn't needed anymore. Thankfully!
