    Went to the gym. It closed early, tried to run outside, but didn’t beat the rain… soooo. Lifted random stuff in my garage! Approx 25lbs gas can!! Not dangerous right? 😂

    Is this what they call “explosive power”? Asking for a friend.

    I completed the Rugged Maniac Obstacle Race today! My first time doing it. Scraped knees and *kitten* but it was fun!

    I'm testing my deadlift 1RM. I am super nervous! I want to do well and I know it's going to be so heavy!

    But... That's the point, right? Lol

    Here's what I was thinking...
    3 @ 50% - 135lb
    3 @ 65% - 180lb
    2 @ 75% - 205lb
    1 @ 85% - 235lb
    1 @ 95% - 260lb
    1 @ 102% - 280lb

    If I can keep going, I'll go up by 5 or 10lb.

    The last two were uglier than I would have liked... But I did it! Haha

    New 1RM PR of 280lb

    2 PRs in the same week? What's your secret? 🤔 Awesome gratz

    Thanks! I actually PRd all three lifts. Bench, squat, deads.

    I followed a 7 week cycle, 4x a week, and lifted according to that. It included accessory work, varying techniques, rep abs set volumes. At the end I tested all my 1RMs and saw growth in all three. I'm going to do a deload week now, let myself recover a bit and then start at week one again, using the new PR numbers as the baseline.

    @KickassAmazon76 You feel a 1 week deload will be sufficient? How are your joints holding up?

    I set the support bars at my bench height and then loop the band around the bars... Not sure if this helps?

    @carelynn114 Some like to use the toes out wide stance. You should try and deadlift that car behind you next time😅
