The PB Thread

[ink81]

Hit 3 PBs over last weekend at the GPC NSW States at 74.1kg BW

Squat - 221kg (182.5kg)
Deadlift - 235kg (221kg)
Total - 585kg (540kg)

I'm expecting bigger numbers at Nats. Should hopefully total over 600 @ 75.

Good stuff mate, thats some big weight.

Yesterday I got 2x5x140kg on deadlift (hook grip). The heaviest I'd ever gotten for 5 reps before this was 1x5x137.5kg with a mixed grip. Happy days.

Awesome work. I hit a similar PB a few weeks back and am now consistently benching a few kg's over my bodyweight for reps. Its a good feeling!

70kg push press today
Triceps strength is definitely improving. All my pressing exercises are up- apart from my bench which ironically was why I was strengthening the triceps in the first place

It's good for deadlifting but if I'm squatting or benching it can put me off- I need dat der zenmode for those exercises lol

Ok so with this exact thread in mind i had to put the "Can i do it" question that had been in niggling at me all week to rest before starting 5 / 3 / 1 this week...

Hit 3 sets x 10 @ 72.5kg - A few hundred grams above bodyweight..

Absolutely stoked

230kg trap bar deadlift

 

[RyanF]

230kg. Not bad at all.

I'm the same. Music that I like gets me focused on the music, which takes my mind away from actually lifting the weights, even if the music would intuitively be fitting for lifting. It becomes too much of a distraction, so I generally shut out the music when I'm lifting.

I might ask Gooby to hit me up with a trance playlist
