Post your daily Personal Records as you break them. See what the rest of the community is up and throw down your 2 cents.

This month I am cracking on the long cycle clean and jerk and working to tear this vertical bar lift up. I believe I can turn the scale needle over 250lbs with the speed work.

What are you doing?

HUGE day for me.

31,568 lbs in 36 minutes. Man, I’m stoked. PR’s in deadlifts, weighted pullups hammer grip, swings, snatches.

Strength Beyond Strength

Good job, Jesse. That’s no joke!

Jesse April 27, 2010 at 1:10 pm

Thanks man. Not to litter up the PR thread here, but you know what’s crazy? I’ve done the ROP, I’ve done other programs, and I’ve gone to the logical “end” of those things. I’ve done the 5 ladders of 5 and 12 minutes of hard swings, and I was completely smoked. Like jelly after those workouts.

I look back in my past training logs, and then I look at today’s. It’s literally night and day. And I can tell it in my body and mind too. I feel fantastic right now. Not sluggish, not the onset of soreness, I feel…. nothing. What I’m trying to say here is….. this is fucking crazy. And I love it. Carry on gentlemen.

Long cycle density PR, Plate curl Intensity + Density

Chris Smith April 28, 2010 at 12:49 pm

Big intensity PRs the other day on squats and bench presses. I was feeling good and feeling strong and wanted to test my near max intensities. I didn’t test as much as usual, but just went by feel. When I did test, though, things were testing very well. All part of developing that intuition a little better.

Worked up slowly to an easy double with 260 in my squat; probably could have handled another 1 or 2 reps, but not without getting a lot more tension.

I am prepping for my first PL meet in June, and wanted to test my bench press according to the competition rules (pause on the chest, wait for press command) so I honestly wasn’t expecting to hit much weight. It felt good and smooth though, and I ended up hitting an easy single PR with 200 from a solid one-one thousand pause on the chest. Really surprised myself on that one.

Bodyweight has been keeping up (around 140) pretty high for me, which is good because I am trying to keep myself as high up into my weight class as possible (while keeping BF% down obviously). Feeling good and strong.

Volume & Intensity PR on deadlifts: 370X8

Fredrik J April 29, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Drove my girlfriend to the airport tonight and coming home hungry and tired but wanted to do something… 5min snatch test 24kg….. 4:45…. PR in time, movement, breathing and overall feeling… not very out of breath when finished and I´ve done very little other than swings and snatches and when doing them only listening to my body and not pushing it in the traditional manor….

Seems it´s something to this biofeedback doo-dah huh!!??!! :-)

Long cycle plate curls bent press one hand deadlift and snatch prs

Andrew April 30, 2010 at 7:36 am

Nice bending PR after feedback told me to take a few days off. Double overhand 60D nails Volume

Eetu April 30, 2010 at 10:59 am

28.4
Wall HS length
BUP density
KB FSQ form, reps/set

yesterday
OAC intensity. Got up with both left and right side from 3/4 of the way down at 75 kg BW. Previous best was slightly lower than 1/2, if I recall correctly. I train this movement barely at all, but it doesn’t seem impossible to reach a full OAC this year alongside a proper front lever and over 80% BW tactical pull-up.

Jesse April 30, 2010 at 11:24 pm

PR’s across the board tonight in Chins, Deadlifts, Front Squats, and Push-ups. Even BUP’d the 24kg with my right AND left. Train well Gents!

Tuesday:
Great training tonight, long session at the dentist notwithstanding: PRs in plate curls, swinging double 40s, huge long cycle reps/set PR, pullup volume, MP volume, bottoms up pressing the 40, and deadlifting 425 for 15 singles. #preveryday

Andrew Pantke May 11, 2010 at 3:20 pm

Lots of PR’s since last posting a 2 weeks ago. But the big one that’s got me excited is the 25lb Olympic plate curls from last night. Last month I was not even close to hitting theses. Now there almost comically easy and I did less lever and plate curling than before.
