Your proudest lift?

[hitwarrior]

my best lift wasnt my greatest , but i could incline dumbell press the 120's for 10 reps, drove an hour to a gym in evansville indiana and incline the 135's for 6 reps. I did the 120 for 2 and stopped and decided to see if i could get maybe one rep or a static hold and slow negative on the press. I remember this lift because i caught the flu and was sick for a week afterwards. I think i caught the flu on the way home because my immune system was week because that lift was so hard.
Anyone else?

I think my best lift is my bench press @ 308 pounds or maybe even my 231 push press. They're pretty weak, but everything else sucks in comparison. Never satisfied, I guess.

When i broke the 270lb bench barrier, it seems to be sky rocketing at the moment..! LOL

I'm always happy to achieve a new PR on any lift, especially one of "The Big Three;" however, training with Wilson6 and doing a 50 rep set on a Nebulus Leg Press was a pretty daunting task. I'm still not sure if/how much Wilson6 helped me toward the end, but it was 7 plates each side (plus sled weight), and I was to do 25, pause 5 seconds, 15, pause 5 seconds, then the last 10. The pause did not involve locking the weight up, it was a soft locked hold while still bearing all the weight. This was after heavy squats. Physically, it wasn't that hard to recover from, I was able to go right on with my workout, but mentally it was quite a feat.

Benching 475 this past Saturday. It was an eye opener and gave me some added motivation to step up my training and shoot for a BIGGER bench. I guess it came at the right time. I'm in the middle of trying to get my lower back stronger/increasing ham flexibility and that's frustrating. Now, I have something to channel this frustration to.

That's even more impressive.
I don't know that I would have gotten my 225 on a second attempt if I missed the first one. That's why I was holding the lockout for so long.
