PR THREAD OF AWESOMENESS!!!

Not a true PR but pretty stoked with 235@8 bench today.

Was going to go for a real PR after that but my 4 year old joined me and I don't like doing really heavy stuff I can't control with him running around.

Pretty decent BW PR. BW is 178, pretty sure previous PR below 180 was 230@9.5. And was capped at 225 for like the last year. Think I'm going to go for a rep PR with 2 plates next (225x5 is the goal). Did 205x5@8.5 as a backoff so seems actually attainable for the first time ever.

Yeah man.

Yeah man.

Thanks! I have high hopes now that I've found a way to make progress with comp bench only once a week. My shoulders don't love 3x/wk. Weighted dips and Neutral Grip cambered (ElitFTS) in the other two slots though seems to work just as well if not better with muuuuch happier shoulders.

165kg/ 364lb trapbar squeadlift! Modest by most standards but almost 'grown up' weights! There was a time I thought I'd never crack 300lbs

Seems like 400 ain't far off. Congrats!

Managed to hit all-time PRs on S/B/RDL after finishing 21 weeks of ATS RTF after cutting for 8 months (lost 8kg) and having the most stressful period of my life (became a parent, with big complications - now all's fine though). I'm embarrassed to put up my numbers as they are strongly at beginner levels even after 2 years of working out, but I have come to terms that this is the genetic hand I was dealt with and I'm fine with this, mostly. At least I look much better than when I started!

Thanks, that would be a sweet milestone

I had made 2022 goals way back a year ago and I haven't hit any of them yet mainly because of life and experimenting with a lot of lifts. One I think I can hit before Christmas though is a 300lb bench. Just did my first 5x5 with 225 today and it was pretty easy.

Managed to hit 180kg x1 with the Slingshot. I have a big goal of eventually getting a 182.5kg/400lbs raw bench press, so this is a nice step in that direction.
