JohanB Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Only 4lbs shy of 500lbs. Perhaps that doesen´t matter to you if you use the metric system like I do. But still, a freakin´great squat! Did you use any equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANTHOS Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Is June the month for PR ? Congrats ! Thank you Joefrey! So far so good, but I also have to test the Bench Press, Reverse grip Bench Press, Push Press and C&J. I'll give myself 2weeks time to complete these and if I can't make it I'll use my old 1RMs for these exercises for the percentage calculation for my training. Until now I succeeded new 1RM for the following exercises: Snatch: 112.5(248) - 2.5kg(5.5lbs) GYM PR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVRaa3EEJZU Squat: 225(496) - 5kg(11lbs) PR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e-DHewVUb8 Front Squat: 185(408) - 5kg(11lbs) PR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoQhR_JQAEU Military Press: 132.5(292) - 2.5kg(5.5lbs) PR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD4PQ2jA5DM I'm feeling pretty OK with my performance so far and I'll try to do my best for the rest 4 exercises. I also did 100kg(220lbs) Military Press for 8 strict reps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQduPbWBri4 and I managed to Overhead lever my 10kg(22lbs) Sledge Hammer with the tape at 78cm(30.7inches) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMeJ89zy-3c Well, any progress is good progress(I think...) and I'll try to keep it up.

MANTHOS Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 My goodness !! It looks like a shopping list before a long WE !! Keep up the hard work Manthos ! Now that's a very successful simile my dear friend Joefrey! Unfortunately to this long shopping list there is no room left for grippers... :cry ...but I strongly believe that I will fix that in the future...if it's the training that stops me and not my genetic code... You too keep up the great work my friend and I'm waiting for your MM2 certification or a red nail one...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
