Attaman Dan! Nothing like a heart-thumping anaerobic best effort.

Thanks, but it wasn't even a best effort. I actually had 50/50 in mind when I started and decided to do 60's at about rep 49 
I know I've got 75/75 in me now and I believe 100/100 is in the near future. |

Elitelift - invest in some yourself. They are worth the $... just ask Maverick.

I'll call this a PR in that I've never done it for a max effort.
Today, behind-the-neck split jerk 195x2. A little pressout on the 2nd rep due to insufficient drop depth. I had spotters to ease the shoulder demand on the negative.
I believe I'm good for more but foremost is to be safe. Shoulder were good today. |

Why didn't you just ditch the weight at the top pierini? Were you in a no-drop environment.
Summer = too much cardio lol. I don't think I'll be seeing any strength PRs for a while.

finally got the 150 DL. I actually got it up Tuesday for one rep in my third set. Today I did 4 reps in my first set but couldn't get it up again and struggled to get 135 lbs. after that. Eh. Still progress.
