Set rep and 1rm PR in one session!

Backa53 · 03-29-2006, 11:08 AM

I started the session with very ****ty efforts in Hang clean and box squat, so I said **** it and just went to bench. My friend egged me on to do 225, so I did it and got 10 reps (+2 PR)-No failure, but 11th rep probably wasn't in the cards.

I then did 245x5(+1 PR)

Then my friend just got me to go for a 1rm, so I put on 280 and hit it. And it was a grind.

280 after max reps at 225 leaves me with alot of optimism that I can hit 300 soon.

Thats awesome Congrats.

Makes me wanna go lift right now ... if only I wasnt in Physics class :-/.

But hey thats some sick lifts on the bench, 280 after 225x10 ... now I got something to shoot for by end of 2006.

Best of luck hitting 300. I'm sure its just around the corner.

You did hang cleans, Box squats, And a 10 rep max and a 5 rep max, Then set a 1rm PR in bench.

Definatly think you have 300+ in you fresh.

Yeah, you could definitely add 10lbs to that "max" fresh, probably more. You could be at 300lbs now.
