    3 powerlifting PRs in the past 4 days!

    Got a double bodyweight squat at the weekend - 115kg, also 140kg deadlift, and became national champion. Then today I benched 2 reps at 62.5kg.


    My 2014 goals were to increase squat and deadlift by 40kg each, and so far I've added 15/40kg to my squat and 20/40kg to my deadlift.

    ETA: meet vids below

    Yeah- I felt like a complete tool dancing around by myself- then I realized I didn't give a fck about what anyone thought.

    Was a solid feeling to really break that barrier!!!

    I realize I never added mine. 75 lb OHP and 90 lb bench (both of which were my 2014 goals, so now I've had to raise them)

    Well. Yesterday's testing rounds were kind of a bust. I did all three big lifts- and three attempts on each lift.
    I failed all 3rd lift. I am a little disappointed with myself based on the fact the numbers I got were pretty solid and completely unsurprising to me. My 3rd attempts would have been nice PR's for me and I think not unreasonable. But apparently I was greedy and they ARE unreasonable.

    Nevertheless.
    Squat- 225- new official PR for me
    Bench 185- That's a new recent PR for me
    Dead lift- 305- not particularly new- but still not shabby- very disappointed I did not hit 3 plates- that's really my goal.

    So new goals that I'm going to be training for will be
    250 Squat
    205/210 bench
    315 or higher DL.
