***Official PR Smashing Thread!***
Welcome to the official pr smashing thread!
You hit that 4 plate deadlift?
Ran a 5 minute mile?
Did a full pullup without assistance?
Then let all us fitness enthusiasts know!!
Personally i love seeing people smash their personal records, it motivates me and shows progress in the gym [which is pretty much the essence of the lifestyle]
everyone is welcome here, dont be intimidated if someone here explains they smash 455 pound squats, it's all about YOUR progress[no flamin will be tolerated, we are all here to help each other]..so get posting.

I Smashed This Hot PR Today...
This week, I finally moved up to 4 plates from just 3 plates earlier in the week.
My system was simple:
First time I moved up from 3 plates to 4 plates, I just didn't eat the crusts.
I felt like that gave me more concentrated protein intake from the pepperonis
and sausage instead of diluted with all that extra bread.
Next day, (today) ate the same 4 plates of pizza from the buffet for lunch, but this time--included the crusts too. (srs)
Was like, "Yeah buddy! Light weight baby, Light weight."
I think the waitress was mirin 'cause she came over and took the plates I already
finished off the table for me and smiled.
I think next time I'll add a salad, some breadsticks and throw an extra plate on there
for a 5 plate lunch, but that may be pushing it. (No gear except a few napkins and a diet coke).
I didn't track the actual calories but I'm pretty sure I ended up with a daily surplus,
so we'll see next time I hit the scales!
Hopefully my feat of sheer determined will power will motivate some of the brahs and brahettes struggling with higher metabolisms in here on the skinnier side into consuming some more calories to grow along with me.
(Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can...even you can too!
Although this story is completely true, I'll be sure to check back, add some
pr's for lifts as training progresses too and think this thread is a great idea.
Stay motivated!
