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.

 

[Awes0me]

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.

500lbs deadlift, and more recently, 225lbs OHP/jerk.

Freak.

lol i missed it 3 times before getting it, all in one workout.

i'm just dumb and persistent.

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.

If I miss a weight I know I can get... I wont quit until I am beat into the ground.

For better or worse... that is generally how I am.

 

[strangebrew]

The time I did 5 consecutive kart wheels without falling down.

Huge PR.

I don't think I'm really proud of anything. It was cool when I beat my mentor's deadlift record though.

 

[hellboy]

185lb Squats last week. Past parallel. 2 sets of 3, then 2, then 1.

Yeah yeah... I know... I know.

This time next year though I hope to be doing MUCH more weight.

 

[Nonerz]

so far, my 250 DL (and my uterus is still in tact). My sites are set on 300 right now...

 

[beefybull]

Safe Squatted 700 once, could have probably done 750-775 but didnt try.

 

[needsize]

all the big milestones
first time I benched 315lbs for 5 reps
first time I squatted over 405lbd for 5 reps
first time I deadlifted over 500lbs for reps
And first time I deadlifted a raw 600lbs, at a bodyweight of 215lbs

Carried my niece for over a mile while she was asleep. Couldn't move my arms and shoulders for about ten minutes after I finally got to put her down. Sleeping kids are like carrying dead weight around.

That is SO true! My son was a late walker. Didn't start walking until about 16 months old, and by then we weighed almost 30 pounds. I had to carry him everywhere, and I know exactly what you mean.

 

[RottenWillow]

It was squatting 365 to parallel in late july but since saturday it is my bench PR.

I did 110lbs with 10 really smooth controlled reps all the way to my ribcage, not my boobs which would be like a 3 board press. Honey I am still glowing with that one and its been 2 days.

 

[Prime Rib]

Repping 155 lbs for sets of 10 doing SKULLCRUSHERS...

I guess my proudest moment would be when I clean and jerked 347 LBS in a contest while having Hodgkins. Actually, I didn't realize what was going on at the time but I remember trying to decide whether to do the attempt or go outside and ralph.

 

[t3c]

i'll never have a proudest lift because i am never satisfied

 

[Liftbig]

i'll never have a proudest lift because i am never satisfied

its hard to be satisfied when you know there is more to be had.

 

[from zero]

i'll never have a proudest lift because i am never satisfied

Fuck yeah!
