Well that's just beastly dude. Thanks for sharing.

Sent in my application to be a Special Agent for the FBI now training to be prepared for the Fit Test. Currently able to do 30 push ups no rest but the ideal is at least 50 so that I can score well or give myself wiggle room in the other tests.

[SpeculatorSam]

My best reps for pull-ups was 15 when I was 17% bodyfat, but today, three years later after being in and out of obesity, I did 3 x 10 2-second tempo reps. I'm also about 19-20% bodyfat now; gotta keep the slow healthy cut going for now.

[SpeculatorSam]

I hit 50lbs.+ weighted pull-ups. Wanted to go for three, but that last rep was iffy. It is what it is, but still WOOHOO!

[SpeculatorSam]

I hit 90lbs. strict curl for 3 at 177.2lbs

[SpeculatorSam]

First time in my life I did 12 slow chin-ups... as a warm-up. I was chilled out, just doing my warm-ups and wow 12 chins? Kinda wanna max out to see how many reps I can do, but I suppose it's better I wait as long as possibly on that and just focus on keeping the weighted chins improving. Also, my posing game has improved; I look great for 19% bodyfat, Roy winkler gut and all.

[SpeculatorSam]

Just about matched my OHP strength from High School. I did 155lbs as a dirty bulked 35-40%bf 219er. I weighed in 175 and did 150, 19%bf. My shoulder strength is where it was at in hgih and that make me happy Them wilk score PRS right der

[Alfu94]

9 months ago i got my first injury and couldnot to any squat whats so ever... Today it was my first leg day after so long time. i swear i dont remember 176lb was so hard before .
NB! Before injury it was normal to hit 5x5 with 358lb

[Pjmanso2]

Yesterday I finally hit 235lbs on bench. It felt light but I didn’t want to get too excited. I’m trying to get 1.5x my 170lbs weight

[tombakerim]

I saw someone post that they're going for 405 on deadlift. The most i've done was 445 for 5 reps, but at one point my back was so weak I was doing 135 slowly for sets of eight to prevent injury. You got that man!

Newbie PR Gains.

Started end of last year months ago getting into to compound lifts (Squats, dead lift, bench press, bent over row)

Squats-
Started- 135 pounds- Wanted to start to get used to the movement and gain healthy habits IE Good form
Today- 295 pounds- Definitely can get into the 300's but trying to keep it slow and steady)

Dead lift-
Started- Again started with 135
Today- Did 315 for 3 reps (Felt great)

Bench press-

Started- 115
Thursday- was able to bench 215 for two reps, probably could do more but I work out at 4:30 in morning and the gym is always empty, never really have a spotter

Never in a million years would I have thunk that lifting would become so addicting. Cant wait to see what the end of 2020 will bring for me. I know am going to plateau eventually but am really enjoying myself right now!

[NicoleSmth033]

Does anyone give some tip for the beginner exercise?

if you need a coach, then you probably write in the wrong topic ...

[CJaySmith]

So I can deadlift 160KG aiming for 170KG in about 3 months, other than the deadlifting more what should I focus on?

Day 2 week 18- 170x1 New Over 60 Personal best - Today's Focus- Shoulders/chest/Triceps/ mid back

[pumpkineskobar]

I just dipped under 110kg for the first time since 2014!!! I got as heavy as 130 in that time... Hoping to hit 100kg this year, and 90kg next year.

Also, early days, but I just hit 2/3/4 plate for bench/squat/deadlift 1RM. Hoping to maintain, and gradually improve that, as I drop my weight further toward 90 (for a 2.0x BW dead).

[fatur89]

Start in standard plank position on hands and toes. Slowly lower right arm down to your forearm, and then bring left arm down as well so you're supported by your forearms. Place right hand on the floor and begin to push your body back up, following with left hand. Repeat, letting your left arm lead.

[zReegz]

Born with a condition called “Polandsyndrome” so basically I don’t have the right pectoralis major muscles.

Never thought I’d be able to bench 100kg but tofay I’ve managed 130KG for 8 reps unspotted

[HomeGymChains]

Due to a prior back injury, I’ve been making slower progress on deadlift than other lifts, with my last 1RM of 260. Yesterday, I finally bought a lifting belt, so I decided to try 265 and got THREE REPS. The 1RM calculator says that represents more than a 50 pound increase, so I should be able to easily work up to 300 for real. 😁

[HomeGymChains]

For the first workout of 2022, I finally got my chance to hit the PRs I’ve been working toward. They might not sound like that much by our forum standards, but they’re a big deal for me (age 63, basically started lifting three years ago).

1) Because I was hospitalized for a back injury years ago, I’ve always been very nervous about deadlifting. Pretty happy to hit 300 pounds today.

2) I almost died when I slipped and the bar fell on my neck on a 115 bench press attempt three years ago, which is when I decided to set up safety chains and get serious about lifting. Hitting 205 pounds today felt like a nice redemption.

Best wishes to all for 2022!
