Your favorite moment

[Torrtrefireto]

My favorite lifting moment ever was on 4/3/2008 when I suqatted 405x5

It was the first time I had ever done it. The last 4 of them were grinders, I thought I would fail on each of them

I had never felt so happy after a lift, it was the biggest 'all my hard work has finally paid off' moment for me ever.

Whats your favorite moment?

Whats your favorite moment?

So far, probably the first time I hit 185kg(407lbs) Deadlift. I just loaded it up by chance and nailed it. That felt very cool.

The other week's squat 5RM at 90%+ of my max was a contender too. Like in your post, I seriously thought every rep after the second was going to be the time I got stapled, but I just kept pushing my luck and came out completely shagged.

I was grinning when I took a knee afterwards though

Was last month when i pulled 455 for the first time in 2 years, weighing 50lbs less than when i pulled it before. It was my 2nd day straight of heavy deads, and i pulled simply because i was pissed off and knew that only deadlifting would cure it.

[PeonLover]

320 deadlift, way better than losing my virginity could possibly be.

[PumpinPaddy]

My first ever 230kg/507lbs deadlift, which came at my second comp in april '09. My 2 goals for months before that meet were a 500lbs DL and a 1100lbs total, and I secured them both with my final lift

umm probably squatting 585 or maybe when i completed three sets of 21s with an ez curl bar at the end of an arm workout

[Beatnik5]

Probably squatting 225 x 5 for the first time,vision got really blurry and I got really lightheaded had to sit down for a good 3 or 4 minutes to come back to reality.

[RAW87]

The other week I was going to try my 1RM, 335 twice and I lifted it twice, semi shocked, then my brothre told me it was really 355. Felt great

This: 240-356 to 48" in 29.9 sec. The first time I've ever done a 5-stone run in under 30 seconds. I beat the guy who took 2nd in the stones by .6 sec, which gave me the overall victory.

[Link815]

The first time I benched 400. Or when I squatted 405x5.

[trap-bar]

315 clean, or my 460 trap bar dead when i was barely 15

[LT1Squirrel]

first time i pulled 365 couple years back

[sheepyd]

When I finished the Book of Methods.

[JacobRothenberg]

Scoring a 100 lb. PR on my total in only 2 1/2 months last December. Worked my ASS off for it to happen.

[eXpiRaTioN_DaTe]

probably benching 405 for the first time. i had all my workouts planned the week leading up to the max and everything went perfectly.

405x10 squat was also pretty awesome but that was kinda spur of the moment unlike the planned bench.

when i finally broke 200 on bench. it felt great seeing that ive been workin on it forever lol.

also, squatting 315x3 was pretty awesome. all thanx to my lifting buddy for that one. i didnt think i could do it but he told me to suck it up and hit it. awesome man

[LSU1]

405 deadlift. never forget where it happened.

and in about two months, my favorite moment will be when i pull 585

[Neaera]

Deadlifting 315x4 after not deadlifting for an entire month. I wasn't sure if I could even pull 315 once but I ended up pulling it straight off the floor for the first and just kept going. You couldn't take the smile off my face that night.

[Fateofhand]

when i pulled 405 for the first time

x2

also, when i first squatted 400lbs. i looked as if i was gonna fall foward (bad form obviously oh well **** it didnt completely turn into a goodmorning) but i didnt and keep grinding it until i was locked out. i was so damn psyched after that.

[dannyautrey]

urmm.. 405 for 10 was big.. 525 squat was decent.. my first meet felt great.. i deadlifted 445 so stinkin easy.. that was the most weight i'd ever picked up by a good 30lbs..

[davehaggett]

Id have to say its a tie between either my first meet ever, i broke 3 state records, 1 national record, won my weight class and BL award. That was an amazing feeling at my first meet. OR when i broke 700 deadlift a couple years ago with a 705 after missing it twice in training.

[Ever_Arias]

315 front squat was my favorite moment so far. Soon it will be a 500 deadlift, and 405 olympic squat!

[MaxxBot]

When I finally squat 500, I had been wanting to do that forever. This will likely soon be replaced by benching 4 plates which should happen fairly soon now.

[K11]

Benching 135 for the first time. I attempted it so many times and couldn't get it barely an inch off my chest. I was getting rep PRs with other poundages but 135 remained impossible. So one day, after trying it a couple times and failing per usual, I just said to myself "I'm not going to be a pussy btch anymore" and then I got it. BIG visual and mental goal. After that all 3 lifts really took off. I've hit PRs since then but I don't think anything will ever feel as good as that 135.

[babyslayer]

hmm

when i deadlifted 700x4 with straps touch n go infront of the majority of the football team in highschool.

[TrettinR]

I'm gonna have to go with my 600 deadlift yesterday after having a crappy squat and bench and my best gym pull being an ugly 585. That 600 dead felt AMAZING after being so disappointed by my squat and bench.
