She'd get the 56lb KB if I could get her to stand still long enough to listen to me on how to pick it up

Saturday
2in Axle Cleans
180 x 1

[Falcon63]

Dam, I tried maxing out on reps of 225 on bench (because that's NFL Combine weight), and my old PR was 26, so obviously I was going for 27. I was about an inch away from lockout on my last rep....first time I've ever failed to lockout in my entire life. I've gone until failure, but I mean like first time I've ever gotten to the point where I could just instantly lock it out and failed.

Couple PR's

300x3 almost 4 on incline
annnnnd
I squatted a broomstick (overhead) for 3x8 to like a 20" box lol post injury PR

[Falcon63]

Haven't yet, but I AM going to get 390 today, guaranteed. I WILL get it!

[Falcon63]

Didn't quite get 390, but I'm glad I got a new PR! 225 27 times! I know people here can rep that like 100 times, but for me, it's a big accomplishment for an incoming freshman (college).

EDIT: I think, if I fix my muscle imbalance (it's pretty big, and honestly, I think it's cause I only carry grocery bags up the stairs in my left hand), that I could get another 4-5 reps. Any tips on how to do this, besides dedicating entire days to just one arm?

Raw Bench 425

[jkstrength]

Raw 2-Board: 385x1

[Falcon63]

Hit 225 28 times on bench, a new PR! Tried 29 times a few hours later, and I think I could've done it, but I hit the rack on 22, and it screwed up my pace.

[tcooper]

usually i dont max so close together but last week i pulled 605 on rack pulls from mid shin. today i pulled 485 on deads at 174lbs

[IronDiggy]

Figure best place to put it, provincials from Saturday. Lifted in the fancy new raw division: 55lbs pr on the squat, no PR on bench and a whopping 11lbs pr on deadlift.

40 yrs old / 215 lbs

Bench 305 lbs
Deadlift 375 lbs
Squat 405 lbs

[StormTheBeach]

Benched 365+140lbs of chain at 280. Big deal for me because my bench has always sucked and now it sucks a little less.

[thecityalive]

I have a lot of exercises I PR in, but I choose to only document Bench, deadlift, and (for now) Front Squat, as Back Squat isn't in my training. Raw lifts. I don't set out to max out all too often as I have no idea where I'd fit a max week in. Perhaps where I would "deload" I should max. Every 8 weeks or so?


Bench: 225 (8/5/11) <--- from my old 185 PR, this makes me smile.
Dead: 405 (8/8/11) <--- got an Inzer Forever Belt recently, this should go up with the additional support.
F. Squat: 235 (8/18/11) <--- projecting adding 10#-20# to this soon


I am happy with my 195 on the Incline BB Press I achieved a week or so ago. Check my log for that day. Uber fatigue at the end of my last cluster. Fun.
