Holy crapballs, Old School rocks. (PR thread)

[from zero]

Stronger every week. PRs every week. Heavier every week. When is the madness gonna stop?!

Anyway, couple of PRs tonight:

Seated OHPs.
5x5 with 190.

Squats.
5x3 with 275.

good job broly

 

[Zander1983]

That is an insane seated overhead. Wow.

 

[guldukat]

I agree, that's a nice seated press, especially 5x5. What could you do for one all-out set of 5?

 

[DrBones]

Woot woot! Deadly overhead press... stupid thing wont let me give you any more karma... damnit

 

[Exodus]

good job......... was the overhead with or without a back support.

[nzafi]

[WarriorPL]

Awsome bro!

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Nice PR!

with or without back support?

are you bringing the bar down to your chin or your clavicle?

 

[thebrute]

good job brotha..PR's just keep fallin for you!! tb

 

[Zander1983]

From Zero, I have been reading through some of the Old-School stuff and discovered that originally the program was designed to be 3x5 with two of the 5x5 sets being progressively heavier warm-ups.

Hope that helps

I believe Mr Zero military presses over 225lbs

Wow guys, thanks a lot!! Good motivation here. I love it.

To answer a couple questions ...
- It was with back support.
- Bar comes down to my chin (clavicle is very uncomfortable for me).

HEY ZERO!!!

I just PR'd yesterday with 190 overhead press too! Looks like we're both on the same track. I'm on the 5X5 too so I PR'd with 5X5 as well.

Congratulations to you (and me)!!
