ended up getting 505, will post video once my friend sends it to me (his camera so it has to upload on his comp), it was so sexy :)[/quote]
Awesome! Can’t wait to see it.
Deadlifting wasn’t going well the other day, so I started messing around with good mornings. Can’t remember going over 200 lbs the last time I did them.
I ended up getting 255x8. I’m curious to see where my low-bar squat is now.

So here’s a years worth of squat progress:
23/12/07 - 170kg x5
23/12/08 - 200kg x5
The former was my PR at that date, I went on to squat 245kg in single ply gear at my next comp. It moved to 180kg x5 mid way thru the year and I squatted 272.5kg 6 weeks after.
The latter is a HUGE PR for me and should leave me nicely set up for a very big squat when I next compete in March/April, and tbh i’d be hoping to have hit 210-215kg x5 by then.[/quote]
Your 200kg as stronger and cleaner than your 170kg squats a year ago. Nice progress in year Hanley.

Got 230 on the bench press for a PR single. Yes a single. It may not be big for a lot of you all but it was a huge moment for me. Was stuck at 225 for the longest. Smoked it too. Probably could have hit 240-245.
Hey - a PR is a PR. I was excited the first time I hit 230, too. Congratulations![/quote]
Thank you very much. Hopefully next week I get that 240

I love the slapping. I lift alone, so if someone just came up and slapped me out of the blue I’d probably forget doing the lift.

You had way more in you. Nice pull.
Hit 3x120kg/265lbs in the squat today (sorry no video, but it was ATG without any gear).
Before I broke my collarbone in in august, my best squat was 2x110kg. I started squatting again a month later, using Bill Starr 5x5 template, hitting a heavy 5x90kg. Hopefully I’ll get 5x120kg before before new years eve.

haha, its like i can do 10% more cuz i just get some metal going and the adreniline and someone slaps me and it likes BOOM here we go haha, thnx steel ill be looking for more soon XD
Hit a rep PR on squats today:
5x7x137.5kg(303lbs)
It was during Smolov too, so I’ll be interested to see what I can pump out when fresh!
being slapped like that triggers one hell of an adrenalin dump. have someone crack ya on the back of the neck sometime , right where the skull meets the spine.
I’m training for my first powerlifting meet on Jan. 24th. I’ll be competing at 67.5kg (148lbs) with knee wraps and a belt. I trained with some new people today and got a few additional pointers that helped a lot. Got two new PRs:
Squat: Previous best - 245lbs. Today - 275lbs
Bench: Previous - 110lbs. Today - 120lbs
The squat came up really easily, but I struggled a bit with the bench. The guys I was training with think I can hit 300lbs on my squat with just my wraps and my belt. I think that would be pretty sweet.
Hit 385x6 the other day on squats on my 5-3-1 program. It was on my 3 week. Had 2-3 more reps in me too.
