That's sweet work, well done buddy!Sumo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:57 am Oh hey so I did a manlet thing last week, I benched a PR. It's a massive PR in fact, 15kg over my previous PR fo 105kg from 15 months ago. To confound things further, I am currently in the last week of a 3 months long diet and I haven't had a conventional deload for just as long....
Colour me surprised because I haven't benched above 105 in training since that last PR, not raw anyways. I hit 118 with a slingshot but it doesn't mean much since I don't have much in the way of data to work out what my raw bench would be when I can hit xyz with a slingshot.

Re: PR THREAD OF AWESOMENESS!!!
Not for me, but a new girl I'm training had her first powerlifting contest this weekend. We added a lot of strength in a pretty short period of time (I started working with her 8 weeks ago). This was a USPA meet. She made all her lifts, but lost a few to technical faults (not waiting for rack commands), but she did 110/67.5/142.5 with 150 probably being there for deadlift. Her next meet is in August, but if she keeps it up she will be a really good lifter I think.
