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.

Ahhhh I misunderstood your post. I thought you did a wrist hold one arm with a 40kg vest!! I almost did a hernia trying to one up you! Lol
Click to expand...

after reading this I had a crack. Nearly!
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.
Start of today have never done one before.
Finished with +24kgx1 on right leg
 
Nothing crazy - but did a 137.5kg close grip for afew the other day.

Could prob smack out 150-155kg for a max
 
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
