+ 1 What's your most satisfying pr?

ad

I just set a new pr this week on hang cleans, 240lbs. Not bad for weighing less than 177lbs and 46 years old. Pat pat, sorry, it took about 4 years to to go from 95 lbs to the current. My second favorite is a 95lb weighed belt dead hang pullup. That journey is about 9 years old. Have a great 4th of July weekend everybody.

650 x 4 squats to parallel.

Flag Pole hold for 30 seconds with 40lb weight vest. Not sure why I did that now.

1,200 body weight squats competing with the Wife. That hurt the most. I lost.

Feels like a lifetime ago.

Damn thats a lot!!! I'm assuming you trained as a powerlifter did you?

Strangely no. I was still around 10% BF. Legs were just my thing until spinal stenosis killed off the nerves in my left hamstring and calves. Not sure but probably related to those heavy squats.

Yeh Deads are bad for the spine but Squats even worse when all the weight is compressing right down through the spine. Even heavy benching arching leaves it tired and sore. Then once that is out so is any decent lifting for the next 48 hrs lol

Dbol kicks ass - especially with tren :-)

Most satisfying? Probably cracking 3000 calories on one cheat meal with a whole extra large meat
lovers pizza. Second place would be 425lb squat while weighing 190lb.

Had to google hang clean. You guys are crazy trying to do that stuff. Crazy I would end up in the hospital. 240lbs seems pretty impressive though.

Bent over to tie my shoes without having to take a break between shoes. Other than that I probably haven't tried to do a PR for anything in the last 15 years. I would end up hurting myself.

What the heck is a dead hang? Are we talking about pull-ups? Scratch one-s head

Yes pullup/chinup. Dead hang is full extension all the way down, strict with no kipping.

Makwa's picture

I guess that is just the way I have always done them. Talking real pullups and not crossfitter pullups.
24 of those is pretty impressive.
I would be there all day trying to tire myself out with that kipping BS. Lol

Halsey's picture

The kipping just looks like it would destroy my wrists and shoulders. Plus, those people look like fools doing them, lol.

Dead hangs fully extended all way down and all way chin over the bar. Yeah anything over 15 is good in my opinion but yeah I always had to get my 20 for a high pft score in the corps. I think I may have got 24 one time but thats it. 30 is bad ass. Its amazing if u just add 25lbs plate around d your waist and try them it feels like 100lbs extra. Lol.

It's kinda funny how over developed my lats are compared to some of my other parts. I typically do 150 on monday and fridays. Great body weight workout, basically can be done anywhere. My grandfather used to tease me as a kid cause he could do more than me.

315 flat bench twice.. Im not one to push that heavy, but was very happy..
