Big Squat PR

Big PR today! Finally broke the barrier with a 405 raw squat. It was slow, but it definitely felt good. Here's how the session went.

459 Deadlift Video

Here it is in all its back breaking glory. Don't copy my poor form! This is approximately triple bodyweight and is actually about 37 lbs. short of the current 148 lb. American record in the IPF (496). I'm sure that number will be smashed soon, but if I could nail a 500 raw deadlift next year, I might be lucky enough to hold the American record for at least a short time. That's the goal, now I have to do what it takes to get there!

Missed 405 on squat. All this deadlift work has lead me to neglect my squatting. Time to change that. More PR's to come after Thanksgiving!

Squat PR

Squat PR- 335 x 8!

Started this June with a 325 x 1 PR, now 5 months later a 335 x 8 makes me pretty happy.

So, today was a bench day, but since I finally found my digital camera, I wanted to check deadlift form, and of course go for a PR. I hit a PR, but the memory stick ran out midway through the lift! So to justify the lift, I'll have a complete video up in a week or two of me breaking this PR yet again :). I did get a video of 405, which felt a bit slow.

Bench-

135 x 8 x 3 Speed

Deadlift-

135, 225, 315, 405, 455 PR!

Not sure of bodyweight, but I'm usually 155 with clothes on, so this should be about a triple bodyweight deadlift. Sweet!
