My week of computer problems and big lifting PR's

[Scotsman]

So first off I'd like to apologize for not being around much the last week. My computer shit the bed on me and I haven't gotten it fixed/replaced yet. Should take care of it this weekend.

Lifting has gone great so far this week I've made some huge PR's.

Tues: High rack pulls (just above the knee)
675 x6 (previous x4 w/straps) done without straps
765 x3 (previous best was 705 x1) done without straps.

Wed:
Cheat curled 200 x2

Last thurs: Lateral shoulder raises
50 x6 (previos x4)

Not bad considering I tweaked my back last wednesday.

Cheers,
Scotsman

[Scotsman]

Pec is doing ok. Still tries to ball up on me while lifting but not as bad as it was.

awesome numbers big guy!

question: how useful is it to cheat curl that amount for low reps... isn't there a chance of injuring yourself just because these are curls?

does your pec need surgery?

Well there's always a risk of injury when you do any form of a cheat rep on any exercise. Also when I cheat curl it's not a big swing like most do, I curl it up as far as I can then dip my knees really quick to finish the motion.

Guardian- No, pec is actually doing pretty well, I did 225x6 last monday on bench and it felt fine. It's still a bit tight but gets a little better each week.
