The PB Thread

60kg x 5reps OHP. For a +4 rep PB. Incidentally 60kg is now my tested 1RM and also 5RM as I haven't tested my OHP 1RM since pressing 60 for a single a few months back.

One hand Chinup +40kg attempt at 80kg - YouTube
[MENTION=10878]jj80[/MENTION]; check out the beast skills website for progressions. And yes it is BLOODY hard!

Also pb for pistol squats for me.

Finished with +24kgx1 on right leg
 
Nothing crazy - but did a 137.5kg close grip for afew the other day.

Thanks JZ, I've actually seen that before, it's been an obsession of mine and I think I've read most of the guides out there!

I've noticed a few guys who can do them can belt out 25-30 good chin ups (dead hang). My best is 15 from dead hang at about 110kg, so I think I need to work on that. Have you tried the Fighter pull up progression? http://www.kbnj.com/FighterPullupByPavel.htm I'm thinking of starting that or Pavel's ladder

I could do a 1 arm lock off for quite a few seconds at 95kg, but I guess that is some way away from a one arm chin.
This is my best weighted chin lately, though I have done 60kg too from bent arm start and with a bit of kicking - 50.8kgx1 (111.7lbs) - YouTube

I have been meaning to start that 5rm program actually but I thought I'd wait until after next comp as energy levels are very low.

Probably do it with weighted one hand chinups because of the dodgy shoulder.

I could do around 25 chinups at the moment if I had 2 arms I'd say. I did 21 at 86kg and am now in the 70s. Still no where near one arm though
 
[MENTION=7082]jzpowahz[/MENTION]; got something special for you coming soon! Lol
[MENTION=7738]Timeah[/MENTION]; great lift [MENTION=3034]Rugby88[/MENTION]; dem triceps bro [MENTION=10878]jj80[/MENTION]; love it!!!
 
Got a sneaky 140 close grip today - was going to go for an all out 1rm but after a heap of benching yesterday I was spent - happy with a fairly "easy" 140 though
 
Squat today after a fairly big weekend.
I hit a PB
117.5kg x5
132.5kg x3
147.5kg x1 (PB)
155.0kg x1 (PB)
160.0kg missed it.

The best I have done in the past was 142 for a very hard 1 about 5months ago.
 
Yes we are generally a positive pack of kunce around here.

Squatted 150kg for 6 for a +3 rep PB at that weight.
 
Thanks Taurus, might have to give you guys a run for your money on the 1 hand chin contest. I reckon I could handle 40kg if I dont pull the skin off my arm :p
