I refused to let the 198 beat me. I can't remember the last time I fought that hard to get a weight up

Hopefully this starts a nice week of new 1 RMs on the four big lifts.

I followed the OHPs up with some light weighted GPP and rotator strengthening/stretching.

WOW YOU STRONG BASTARD!!!!

 

[revexrevex]

Forgot to mention... that was weak.. I want to see 225 on your bar next time

 

[Zander1983]

I'll be working on it

My old PR was set on April 30, btw.

 

[revexrevex]

20 lb pr on legs is nothing

20 lb pr on shoulders is fucking something! The bar actually started coming down and you just kept pushing,a nd your back stayed almost vertical, wow!

 

[revexrevex]

You now officially press more than you squat, mr noodle quads.. jk

 

[Zander1983]

Well, that's kinda true My squat has a lot to answer for, which it intends to do later this week.

 

[revexrevex]

[coolcolj]

Well you can press more than me!

 

[Zander1983]

[ZGzaZ]

jesus....the most impressive thing is that usually its up or down on overhead pressing...you get it, or you don't

but you just pushed through that

AWESOME MAN

I thought to myself that 198 was out of reach, given that only 6 weeks ago my max was 176.

Before I started pressing yesterday I thought to myself, "I'm not going to stop until I get the 198 above my head. After I am done today, my new max WILL be 198. No matter what." So I just F%^king did it.

Honestly though, I didn't think it was going to happen.

 

[ffknight84]

excellent, havent watched the vid yet but from their replies sounds like you really worked for it, congrats.

I went to go give you karma but said i need to spread it around more. Ill get back to you

 

[WarriorPL]

Thanks man

I've been benching ever since I started lifting (like 3-4 times a week for the first two years! ) and only overhead pressing consistently for about a year. My training has only ever really been truly consistent since I joined Elite though...
