Lets get some more traffic going. Other forums have this, why don't we? Rules are simple: Post up your new PRs. Throws, lifts, strongman events, rep PRs, post injury PRs, eating contests, etc. Video is required if you want your ego stroked, but not if you just want to put it out there, lol. I also dropped a 49' open stone on saturday which would be a training PR, but did not get video so it's a moot point. |

ROFL that was a low blow. at 285lbs, nobody wants to see me shirtless with boardshorts, for more than just the obvious reason. 1) I can't find boardshorts to fit my legs the list can go on, really.. |

LOL I'm so bad that I PR all the time. 3 years of cattleballs and running tend to make a you a beginner in the gym even at 36. Lifetime barbell PRs, finally broke the 500# on my deadlift at the Fallsfest Highlander in early October, straps and a hitch. 455 squat off a low box, briefs, belt, and knee sleeves. 200# 2' axle overhead 14 reps in 60 seconds at Fallsfest. Split snatched 200 a couple of months ago. And my first games was the Celtober Cowtown Throwdown so every throw, no matter how pathetic, listed in the database for that games is a PR. I've got the Metroflex Highlander coming up December 10 and I'm hoping to set some new PRs or at least not embarrass myself. I'm 5'9" around 220 to 230 depending on how much beer I've had during the week. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

LOL...lucky throws. I think it was the soundtrack. No BS...I had the Fraggle Rock theme playing in my car when the stone happened. Weird Al "White and Nerdy" for the WFD. Troof -JVG. OK, I'm all about PRs. I'm going to go out on a limb and put this out there: New Year's Eve...going for 1000+ rack pull. Just over the kneecap. Nothing big for some of you meatheads, but it would be a PR for me. ------------- The man in the arena. |

Couple more to add. It's good to be a reborn beginning lifter.
Standing overhead press 225x3 elbow sleeves and wrist wraps. not super strict but good enough for government work. Lifetime PR baby. Box squat off a low box, belt, briefs, knee sleeves. 455x3 off a low box. 1 more rep than the last PR. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

solid. I love how explosive your lifts are. also, you grab the bar like you have a DL suit on, it's funny to see you "not" bend over or sink your hips much. I doubt it's a flexibility issue, I'm assuming it's just an old habit. Incredible posterior strength. I'm very anxious to see your 585 squat RM. |

Matt, you DO realize that pulling a max rep deadlift probably fried your system for squats 2 days later, right? :) Shoulda made that one a Monday/Friday thing. Still badass. |

not too impressive compared to many of you guys, but here is a 20lb PR from me yesterday.. 435 front squat: http://youtu.be/OyXTfc_symA - http://youtu.be/OyXTfc_symA had more in me, but my knee was giving me some grief. I'm deloading next week so it should be feeling much better when I start hitting the wheels again. |

that was pimp. I did 315x1 on tuesday: http://youtu.be/KOCTK_piGd8 - http://youtu.be/KOCTK_piGd8 any tips on overhead tricep strength? it's 100000% my limiting factor and you can even see it on my lockout. My legs were still pretty dead from monday's sesh, but regardless I had great speed up until the finish. I went for 335 and got the weight about 3" above my head and triceps couldn't take over. This leads me to believe my tris are lacking, in a big way. I already knew they were my limiting factor in benching. I'm thinking about adding in some overhead pin presses as well as overhead skulls, db extensions, etc to really smoke the long head. thoughts? |

Why not do a ton of dips, weighted dips, and CG bench...
all of this will translate better than pin presses. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

| I just started doing dips again last week. I stopped for a very long time because my strength to weight ratio was pathetic. I already do CG bench quite a bit, but I'm sure there is room for more. My triceps are lacking in the size dept, so I need to hammer both hypertrophy and strength reps. Time to do work. |

I don't know that your triceps are your limiting factor. At least not with the 335. I think you need to squat down faster. Think about reacting more. You may not go as deep, but I think it will result in more push. I'm by no means a presser like the Vincent bros., C Smith, or McKim, I just know what works for me. Hope it helps. |

out. Go figure. Hood up squatting is different...I HATE how the hood feels smashed under the bar. ------------- |
