3 PRs in 5 days :D

[Buddy_Christ]

i know i posted my squat PR before, and i posted my Bench PR in C&C yesterday, but i'm going to repost those two and add a third

Previous max lifts in December - 200x3 (assisted slightly on last rep), 265x5 Squat. Wasn't deadlifting at the time.

all lifts raw with the exception of a BB pad for the squats.

This past Friday on Squats

135x12
165x10
205x8

the first 305 went up good. the second time i started to feel my form slip slightly and my body said "dude, you're done" when i was halfway up.

5'6"
just over 170lbs (started dropping weight this past week, want to drop BF a little before i start bulking again)
been training since the beginning of September. i couldn't flat bench my bodyweight at the time, which was 161lbs. my squats started off at 165lbs back then.

Progress

Feels good dont it!!!! nice work bro

 

[Scotsman]

Nicely done. Just to throw a thought in drop your first set of deads, pulling over 300 you don't need to start at 95. Looking great though keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Scotsman

damn good work bro

 

[Buddy_Christ]

thanks everyone.

jkurz - why the double middle finger?

scotsman - i started at 95 for warmup, but probably more mental warmup than physical. that whole string of lifts took me about 45 minutes to do. i really took my time between sets and keeping myself mentally pumped up.

Smurfy - after the 295x3, i felt like i had a decent PR and was going to stop there. i went through a mental arguement with myself for 5 minutes about going heavier. i almost went and asked around if anyone would slap some sense into me. the only word running through my mind was "injury"...over and over again. so it turned into a big mental battle with myself over breaking 300 or just saying "enough is enough, pack it up and go home, good job."

obviously, i somehow managed to talk myself into attempting 305, and i am glad i did. i've never hit failure on a deadlift before, so i had no idea what to expect. i think that was my biggest fear....what happens when you hit failure on a deadlift? does deadlift failure involve an injury? am i going to regret this?

no more PRs for a while. good way to end the semester though.
