Your biggest achievement in training?

I guess mine would be going from a 100 lb squat to 260 (roughly). I remember being so weak when I was a freshmen, it was horrible. Now I feel way better about myself.

my hero!

i'd have to say my biggest achievement is finally breaking the 40lb weight in all my db exercises... (i guess i'd have to leave bi and tri exercises out of that, but i can do 45's or 50's on just about everything else (back, shoulders, chest)...)

that and finally breaking the plate on squats... (now i'm up to 155 for reps and not looking back!)

i workout in a pretty sissy gym and I lift more than a lot of the guys....

i've also gainned 5 or 6 lbs on my cycle this month... whoo whoo... i love anavar...

I walked into the gym and stared in awe at the "big guys" dumb bell pressing the 100 lb. db's. That was my goal. Around three Friday's ago, I did eight clean reps with a hundred lb. db in each hand. Talk about a rush! 120 lb. are next.
