It is time for the third installment of the PR thread, and the second thread I’ve made for it.
This thread is for any physique and performance increases that you want to share. It can be new meet PR’s, training PR’s, cool training stuff (one 200+ pound guy posted a video of him doing 50+ dips in a row), physique improvements like bigger muscles/progress pictures, anything. You can even post new impressive things from real life like getting a great new job, degree, etc.
If it is progress, then this is the thread for it.
The only time I ever tested my 1RM was when I did crossfit for a spell just over a year ago, and I could only manage 120 kgs then so I’m happy I’ve thoroughly crushed that now!
Decided to weigh the trap bar I’ve been using for the last 5 months or so. I had always (foolishly, in hindsight) assumed it would be around the weight of an Olympic bar or not much more, and calculated all my loads based on that assumption. Turns out it’s 75 lbs, so that instantly added about 30 lb to my deadlift max. I guess that’s a PR in a way.

Thanks. Dunno if I’d call it incredibly impressive. It’s pretty good though. I hit 225x20 in September, so I was proud of the 30lb increase. [/quote]
High rep front squats suck and you did them with very little rest in between reps… It’s probably not a world record but I appreciate the mental fortitude behind that set.
incline bench - 145x6. First time that I’m pushing on incline since last year, so (just like the SB squat) I expect this number to go way up. The latter is due on Friday, 195 being the target weight. We’ll see.
