Your happiest moment (to date at least!)
When I was finally able to do DB shoulder presses with 80lbs! (Well 40# in each hand), for 8 reps! That gave me such a high.
My second high was when I could calf raise the stack on the donkey calf raise (which I know is easier than standing calf raises,...but my spine cannot take the compression load of standing). If I try standing I can only do about 40lbs, but it's because of my spine injuries.
Two happy moments.
Anyone else?

You mean in the gym right?
This is embarrassing. The first time I SLDL with 160 was a very happy moment in the gym.
The next one that was a "happiest moment" was the 325x1 deadlift.

Very respectable.
And yes you nasty man, I was referring to "happy moments" occuring in the gym. (Not those kind of happy moments occuring spontaneously either).
But along those lines I do have a few clients who love doing high chair curl ups because,...well,......with enough blood flow,....besides stronger lower abs, they get happy too!

Wag Bennet was 1st man in uk to bench 500lb and was ifbb chairman

my happiest gym moments ever would have to be:
1. the first time I deadlifted 225lbs
2. The first time I benched 135lbs
3. when I set a new push-up record for my entire gymnastics center, accomplishing 211 push-ups done in one set in a time of 3:07 (I am yet to break or even match that record)

Body I'm with you. Having spine problems limits a lot of my activities, forces me into others, makes me cautious for many, and definitely puts restrictions on vertical lifts.
And for the record I feel less OWNED knowing my PB's are around 20lbs shy of your lifts. (I'll forget the 3 set parts). The 40/80's were my PB's while simultaneously being my sticking point. I can't do 45's no matter how hard I try or where within my program I do them. I dig shoulder work probably the best, and I don't have DB's I can microload either.
But okay, you perked me up a little.
I'm 5'1" by the way, so I'm hurling up 2/3 of my bodyweight!

Wow those are awesome accomplishments! Especially #3. I think I would die first, and I've got pretty strong tri's for a gal. Day-yum. Wow, that's really awesome!

Yeah, and notice you were the only one who had a dirty thought when I mentioned "happiest moment", mister? Hmm?
