New PR's

195X3/200X2 three second pause floor press
100X18 kroc rows default PR I guess

Some of today’s. I had gotten an adjustable dumbbell handle, (I will need to get another along with some extra plates) and got to do dumbbell rowing for the first time ;).

1st Post here, 34 Years old, 5’10 196lbs. Bailed on Crossfit about a year ago after doing it for a couple years. Started Wendler 5/3/1 and havent looked back.

Im deployed right now to the middle east, had a makeshift deadlift/squat comp last week, and PR’d some lifts.

510 DL
405 Backsquat

DL was a 5lb PR from 2 week prior to that, Squat was a 20lb PR from before I broke my leg, and btw…I broke my Right leg/Fubula in August '12, good to bounce back stronger than I was.

Nice lifts man, glad to have you here.

245X7 wide stance, low bar 3 second pause squat

Some of today’s. Now to go get 245X10 for four sets :). Might be able to get 265X8-10 by the end of the cycle for the pause squats.

Thanks,

Didnt really pickup a barbell till late 2010, or start of any type of dedicated strength training till 2012. Came from a background of BMX with some Downhill Mountain biking and lots of Backcountry activity in Alaska. Just doing what I can to prolong the inevitable :slight_smile:

AWESOME past two days in the gym, PR’s:

Bench 205X5; 135X18
Machine Row: 230X8
Lat Pulldowns: 230X7; 180X15
Didn’t try to beat my drunk deadlift PR but reps felt easy and very clean
T-bar Rows: 170X5

Tonight:

Overhead Press: 54kg 3x5 with disciplined form : When i started 6 months ago I could not even press the bar.

One Motion Log Clean and Press: 255lbs for a easy single at 221lbs bodyweight. This is a 35lbs PR for me at 20lbs less body weight.

bent knee bent over good morning 245X5
snatch grip deadlift 275X3
zercher lunges 115X15
shovel deadlift 90X7

Some from today. My whole torso hates me after doing this.

Nice on the big PR, Reed.

Thanks Dssg

@DSSG whats a shovel deadlift

Current bodyweight: 155lbs

Spring Break PRs:
Deadlift: 455x1
Bench: 230 3x5

Last squat record was 300x1, but I plan on hopefully gaining 50lbs in that department within two months

It’s when you load a barbell on only one side for a deadlift. Your obliques/back/abs have to find hard not to have your torso twist or fall over to the side when you do them.

T-bar Rows: 180X5, 160X8

Anyone here know a cheap way to get ahold of some used tractor tires?

Did some 45x10 weighted chins. Didnt feel that hard , last couple reps were a bit slower.

The last time i did 205 on C&J the jerk was like a push press that i ground to the top , now its shooting up there fairly snappy like , i attribute alot of this to improved technique.

Havent increased weights on many things but alot of exercises my technique is feeling better and weights are moving faster for the most part.

Higher rep 8+ back squats are feeling faster and easier , i think part of it is from doing the occasional hill sprinting.

Lol , this lady i have seen for massage several times said my thighs were looking bigger .

Andrew- Hey man most places that sale big tractor, scrapper, and Industrial size tires usually have them stcked up and will literally give them to you for free because it costs them a pretty big penny to properly dispose of each. So 9/10 if you have a truck and trailor they will even load as many as you want for free just to get rid of them.

185X5 close grip bench
115X9 JM press
100X23 kroc row
50X11 fat bar weighted pull ups

Some of today’s ;). Now that they don’t feel incredibly awkward, I am starting to like kroc rows.
