Lets just say if you had loaded 5lbs less you’d have gotten another rep 
Fucking savage you are.

That’s what I’m telling my self too lol.
So is this thread dead? Nobody hitting any PRs?
Just got a paused bench double with 360 @ 181 BW. I think that makes it a double double.

I benched 90kg for 5 yay me. sadface
Hit a 200lb OHP last week, which is a lifetime PR.
Hit a 300lb Front Squat which is a lifetime PR as well.
All others will be falling shortly, ha.
Edit: Just watched the instagram post from Reed doing the 505 x 19 a couple posts up…good lord…

Just to keep the ball rolling on this thread. I lifted a 340 lbs Atlas stone onto a 42 or 44" platform recently, at a bodyweight of 191. That lift is the closest to a world record of any of my lifts. I consider that to be a ‘181 class’ lift, because I could water cut to 181 easily for a comp and do it again. But even for a 200 class, there aren’t a lot of folks beating that.

I hit a 12x495 and 15x385 deadlift at 190lbs bodyweight after 7 hours of travel and losing 5lbs on vacation

You just gave me an idea, I can avoid the whole plywood/mats home gym setup if I just had some extra pads to move around for deadlifts, 3 piece deadlift platform basically.

Awesome man. This has served me well for years.
Don’t believe I ever posted these in this thread.
May 2 of 2016, I bench pressed 500 pounds (if I did post this already, then I’m not really sorry, because I honestly haven’t gotten tired of telling people yet…my bad). Then this past year, I decided to train the incline press for strength just to have some fun and change things up. On August 14th, I put up 405 for one rep.
Trying to decide if, at 31 and not planning to ever compete, I should stop there or pursue a new goal, like a 315 military (though I did 290 a year and a half ago) or a 500 pound incline.
For those wondering, I ruptured my patella tendon in March of 2015, so I have never gone back to heavy squatting or deadlifting. I put up a 585 pound squat before the injury, and while I never went hardcore into deadlifting, I pulled 500 once years ago. Yes, I’m a pansy. But honestly, that rupture hurt and the rehab sucked.

Good enough reason in my eyes to stop. You have your own personal goals. Ten years ago it wouldn’t have mattered if you only benched. Now, the internet attacks you if you don’t because kids get extremely upset about minutia. Congrats on the 500 and the 405. Are you doing any type o leg work anymore just to stay healthy? Also, if you go for the 315 overhead, and just maintain incline, would it be easier to hit 500 than vice versa?
I have done moderate leg work but nothing of much substance besides just staying active and some light squats. Once I deadlifted out of curiosity and pulled 405.
Hit 500 on what lift?
Sucks to see this thread dead for over 3 years haha used to be one of my favorite parts of the forum. Either way. Hit a bench PR. Body weight right at 225 right now. Wanting to go higher but I dont know of its SAD or what but I cant eat anything right now.
365 for 6 RG

I’ve taken a break from belts for several months and just pulled a double at 500. Not a huge weight but that’s a PR beltless. I’ve always been terrible without a belt.

From a couple years back, but my all time favorite set of any lift I’ve ever done. Still have no idea how I moved this that well… too bad I’m pretty sure this was the result of peaking a couple weeks early though lol
