PR THREAD OF AWESOMENESS!!!

#1

Post by mbasic » Fri Mar 15, 2019 10:39 am

I don't think we have a PR thread.
List your personal victories here.
Could be a rep PR, 1RM, meet result PR, or whatever.

(I don't have any right a the moment; I searched and didn't see we had one of these)

...and GO!

I've seen a 400lb bench PR mentioned somewhere, forget who it was...

Thanks to Hanley I squatted 330 for the first time.

...@8


...with a SSB.


That’s like 75 lbs on e1rm in 2.5 months.

PR from a few weeks ago, next week probably I'll PR again since I return to doing singles.

I stopped telling my wife about anything lifting related a long time ago. On a good day I would get an eye roll if I told her about a new PR, even one as impressive as a 380 bench

Pulled 495 beltless today. Just a technical PR since I never push my beltless pull, but still a neat milestone to hit.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA This man! I know the feeling. I think the worst situation was in a dinner with her friends. It went like this:

she: he started lifting weights. How much do you lift again?
me: ahmm what do you mean, on what?
she: that thing you lift from the floor!
me: 180 kg.. for one rep..
the others: hummm :roll: wow :roll: cool :roll:

Happy seems like an appropriate response to that.

Finally got my lmao4pl8 squat (at 202.4, so also finally got my 2x BW squat). 40lbs of PRs in around 10 days, and total is now over 1100.

Do RPE PRs count? I hit 405 squat for a single @6.5 on Monday. I would have been very tempted to take it for a set of fahve if I wasn't close to a meet. That'll have to wait till after the meet.

Yeah, that counts!

Good thread here. I try to catch these kinda things on IG too. If they are hashtagged #exodusstrength and your account isn’t private AND it’s just one frame/video then I will repost them because it’s awesome.
