Day 124 ( massive TNG illegal PR of 157.05 x 1 at bodyweight 57, officially 2.755 times bodyweight! My previous PR was on 5th December 2015, 30 months ago; 2.5 years ago. However, the bar was 1-2 inches from touching, and glutes are off. I don't care.) You might not know the severity of the situation right now. On 5th December, I performed 157x1 tng at 64+ kg. After 30 months, (2.5 years)
, I finally broke that record. I intentionally broke it very slightly, by 0.05kg (157.05 kg). After 2.5 years, I finally broke the record while weighing 7kg lighter.
However, today's PR was done with the bar about 1-2 inches from touching my chest, and glutes were off. Do I care? I don't! I don't care about illegal bench at this current phase. Yes this will haunt me tonight, thinking about whether I would still have gotten the repetition if I touched my chest. But, I can assure you the bar literally shot up very quickly at around an effort of 8, before it became a tough 9 at lockout.
Don't ever give up. Don't give up! I've been through 30 months and 18 months of PR droughts. And have come back to get those records while weighing much lighter.
Remember, 157.05 illegal PR at 57kg morning weight!
