    I feel a bit wimpy posting mine after the stats above, but...

    Did a couple of PRs over the last week or two:

    Deadlift: 280lb (was 265)
    Squats 210lb x 3 (still having problems translating that to getting higher on a single)
    Bench: 135lb - (final got the big boy plates on)
    OHP: 95lb - strict - this one is a struggle to increase.

    Weight : 151 lb

    Don't - a PR is a PR, no matter who you are. You're improving upon yourself, and that's all that matters.

    Gee - are we all hitting so many PBs we can't share them here?

    Not really a lifting PB, but I was able to prone hold for 70seconds this morning. smashed my previous 45seconds :bigsmile:

    Hoping to improve on my DL, Squat and Bench on Friday.

    My best stuff lately pretty much has been 5x285lb dead lift, being able to rep out a set of dumbbell bench press with 80lb dumbbells, and being able to get through an eight rep set of bicep curls with 45s.

    Sure is Sara. I tried on NYE and got it about 3" off the ground. First time I haven't been able to lockout a sumo DL that I got off the ground actually.

    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.
