New PR for Myself.

[mwhities]

wow!

I never would have guessed this was only with 1 arm until I saw the DL video. You sir, are a true inspiration! Makes me feel like a b***h for skipping some workout days!

Good for you man, heavy weight and like I said, truly inspirational!

Thanks man. I'm glad I inspire people but, all of you inspire me as well. Keeps me motivated and I really appreciate it. I'm back at 230lbs deadlifts after a reset. I was up to 245lbs and then took two week or so off. Now I'm back into a groove and hitting it hard.

Thank you again.

I hit another PR on Monday and another today...

Today was another awesome day.

Squats: 350X5X3
Press: 65X5X3
Dealifts: 225X5X1

The squat is another PR. I'm happy with it but, I feel that I need to work on my lower back some more. It was really pumped and was kinda hurting after the last set. Luckily, thus far, it's not hurting anymore. I was still able to press and deadlift with no issues.

Press, I've repeated the 65lbs the last few times, I need to remember my magnetic fraction weights next time.

Deadlifts felt a little heavy, I've neglected doing them the last few workouts. I need to get back at it, I think that will help my squat (lower back) more.

Over all, I'm stoked. The weight is getting heavy on the 2nd set and really heavy on the 3rd set. I see some failures in the next couple weeks or I might wuss out and go fractional with 2.5lbs increments. *undecided* I guess I'll see when I get there. (FYI: I always post my last working set.)

I ABSOLUTELY did not want to squat today. Since Wednesday, my knees felt like they were bashed with a sledge hammer. Holy hell, I felt like I was 60+ years old (not knocking the geezers+) and hadn't worked out since I was born. I seriously think I'd rather take a shot in the nuts (like I usually do) by one of my big ass kids. (At least two knees a week or so - average.)

Started out nice and slow and literally was ready to go home after 7 minutes on the elliptical/slider/weird thing. It really helps warm my quads and hams up. So I head over to the squat cage (when I come into the gym, I head straight to it and set everything up so when I get done warming up, I can start my warm up squats.) and get under the bar. Just NOT feeling it. I squat down for my first warm up squats and aches and pains through all 5 reps. Damn it. My right knee is feeling like crap. I guess I'm not hitting 355lbs today.... :|

I muster up the courage to do all of my warm ups and see how I feel. The second (bar only) set felt pretty good. My right knee felt better/stronger. Good, maybe I could do 340lbs or so, at least 345 or 350. (Same as previous weight.) I go through all of my warm up sets and I'm feeling great. Screw it. I'm going to kill this 355lbs.

Let it be done....

Squat: 355X5X3
BP: 85X5X3
CU: 75X10X3
BE: 10X3

Everything was a cake walk after that. I didn't film it, I figure I'll hold off on that until I get to 405lbs or so. I figure everyone is getting tired of me posting videos of myself. :P

I enjoy them. you should start up a journal (if you havent already).

I'll be starting one next week. It won't be on here but, I will start one with food and lifts logs.

Thank you.

[tmor6]

Very, very impressive - especially given your one arm technique! That's something most people can't do (and something you have to do, I suppose). I'll follow your journal, too.

Thanks. I've gone back to the more conventional one.

I haven't started my log yet. I am anal and want my diet and log to start at the sametime.

You sir, are why I don't complain about having three fingers on one of my hands. You are an inspiration to people with disadvantages. Nice work. Thanks for posting the vids.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the kind words. I hope it encourages others to do more when people say that they can't. I'm proving thousands of people wrong; right now.

Thank you again.

My 335lbs for 5 squats this morning.



Thanks.

I haven't watched the videos but it looks like you are a shoulder disartic? Have you tried pulling with a prosthesis? If so, I'm curious what your experiences with it were and why you choose not to lift with one. Thanks!

[mwhities]

Yes it is. (I'll admit, I had to look disartic up.) I went without a prosthetic for three years before I had the chance to get one. I got one and immediately disliked it and sponsored it (minus the shoulder mold) to another person. I adjust without it already and I felt (and still feel) it would be in the way all the time and a major PITA.

With that said...

Here are my latest videos and all are PRs (with and without MantaRay). Most I've ever squatted ever.

355lbs
365lbs
375lbs

Please feel free to critique too.
