Hit 250 on CGBP today

[CarlosKicks]

This week I did one rep max's at my gym. I also had PRs on all my lifts.

Hexbar dead lift 405lbs
Power clean 195lbs
Front squat 275lbs
Bench press 175lbs (by far my most disappointing lift. I've always been horrible at benching but I am determined to change that)

Keep hitting the gym everyone!

[alexisap]

Oly Squat 185 lb
Decline Bench 155 lb

[dhornace]

Last week I hit a 270 straight leg deadlift x12 and 225 decline bench x2

Stoked

[BamaBruce]

195x6 bench press with paused reps
185x6 incline bench regular reps (as last exercise!)

[norbel24]

I was horrible with pull-ups. Would be able to do 10 reps in one set. I actually did thirty reps yesterday....looking to do three sets of thirty.

[KidAlchemy]

Last week was full of surprises:

Bench press: 187,5lbsx8
Squat: 242,5lbsx9
Deadlift: 275lbsx8
OHP: 105lbsx5 (last PR was 110x3 but I confident I can break that)

Congrats to everybody on PRs!

Great Stuff Guys ! Keeping hammering it !!

[BamaBruce]

429lb deadlifts x4 (weights on about a 2-3" platform)

[Huskarl]

132.5 bench was PR!

[KidAlchemy]

I know this might sound ridiculous but for the 5 years that I've trained at the gym on and off I've rarely trained arms and specially biceps so I'm pretty thrilled that I got 75lbsx6 ez-bar curl. It's those small things I guess :P.

[pastorpritch]

Hit 400 for 5 sets of 3 on Hacks (narrow stance) today
Camera battery died as I was recording the 380 set

[corepuncher]

Bench Press:

In 4 weeks I went from 185 X 12 to 205 X 12. (total failure). Never was much for endurance so these higher reps are all new. Used to only do sets of 3-5.

[ManuchiaMuscle]

Yesterday, I hit a new personal best for deadlifts. I usually do a 3 rep max (although I felt like I could've done a couple more). Dead lifted 225 for 3 reps.

Today, I'm hoping to reach 85 lb dumbbells for flat bench chest press, but I feel a little under the weather (probably overtraining).

[Huskarl]

3x5x135 was pr 1x2x145 was pr 3x5x100 incline was PR

[BamaBruce]

205x3 Bench press (after having done incline press and heavy pec deck)

[MikeNice81]

I got challenged last night and set a new PR. A friend bet I couldn't do 35 reps of flat dumb bell bench press with a pair of 25 pounders. I nailed it.

It doesn't sound like much but shoulders and chest have always been trouble spots for me. My bench was always my worst lift besides over head press.

[KidAlchemy]

First week of new 531 cycle after deload and hit PR's on almost every lift today:

Deadlift: 250lbs x12
Front Squat: 155lbsx8
Weighed chin ups: BW+45lbsx4
Ez-bar curls: 75lbsx8

[Joeheim]

Finally got over a 2 plate squat. Pushed 235 for 4 reps hitting parallel. Failed to get the 5th, but still felt great to push out those 4.

[pastorpritch]

Nice work guys!

Hit 250 for 3 and then 2 on incline bb press today

[Huskarl]

3x5x137.5 on bench!

1x2x150 on bench!

[Lastman13]

dumbbell shoulder press 70's for 8

[Huskarl]

3x5x140 and 155x1 with a paus. First time with 140 for reps and 155 with paus

[charry90]

Only started working out about 12 weeks ago and finally managed 2 chin ups today after being able to do 1 at a time or the past 3 weeks
Also deadlifted 250*1 last week
small gains will add up eventually
inspiring to see people itt

[Vikingly]

Non lift related, I managed a sub 8min mile today (7min41s) for the first time at 242lbs. Never been good at running since I've always been waaay overweight, so I'm currently both lighter, faster and stronger than I've ever been.

And I'm only going to get better!

[TheCaz]

KILL SOME PRs BOYS!

Cut by myself!

[CONNORLOPEZ10]

Incline dumbbells I hit 95, flat dumbbells I hit 105 x 6 and dumbbell shoulder pressed 80's woooo

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.

Theprogressiveone: 30/1/2011 - 2 plate squat!
been working on form for a long while but doing legs hard the last couple of months, will hopefully be posting a 3 plate squat in the next 5 months

Keep at it! I wasn't able to do pull ups 6 months ago and now I can do sets of 8. You have to start somewhere! The best feeling is seeing your progress and being able to do things you weren't able to before. Great stuff...

[pandaohyea]

Finally did 110 DB on the bench with good form for 6 reps, was at 100lb DB for 6

[Lastman13]

Barbell Bench 260 pounds today, full ROM. Weighed in at 170 this morning. That's more than 1.5x my bodyweight.

I'm cutting and still making great strength gains. #winning
