I completely forgot what day it was when I was typing the post last night. Here is a double post so that we can catch up on PR Friday. Remember that weight gain, food intake, weight lifted, and clothes ruined are all considered PR’s.
Post PR’s to comments.

Bought me a new pair of jeans the other day, because I cant fit into any of my old ones. The waist still fits, but the the thighs and ass are now comically tight. Weighed in at 216 this morning…
20 rep squats up to 85kg. Ouch. Legs shaking massively on last 5 reps! Bodyweight 87kg. Should hit 20 reps at just over bodyweight before christmas.
squat pr 190 for 5 singles.
I”m posting a goal in hopes that everyone will hold me accountable. 2 chins by the 1st day of 2010. it”s been over a months since i”ve been able to do 1 chin. But i know i can do it.
dropped 85 kg on my head
Mr. G Noble, that is one hell of a PR, how is the noggin doing today?
did anyone else get totally buried in snow? we got 18 inches here in central Delaware. Yikes
Snow should be welcomed as an opportunity for a Rocky 4 training montage.
Elizabeth – surprisingly enough it wasn”t too bad. It happened on Wednesday and didn”t even hurt at the time, except my thighs and knees which it also hit. Head was fine. I”m not sure how hard it fell because the thing was on the pins by the time I figured out what had happened. I was doing BTN presses at the time.
In terms of actual lifting PRs, I bench pressed 35 kg dumbbells for 3 sets of 10. I have no idea if this is good, but hopefully I can translate it into a real bench PR on Thursday.
Today:
Squat 250/5×3 then 290 single
Press 125/5×3
Deadlift 295/5×1 then 345 single
All PRs!
BW 203 also PR
Sean,
The latest vid. Obv. Form on squats have reached a new nadir. Perhaps he has some injury that he needs rehabbed that is preventing him reaching dubiously parallel (IE I”m not really sure if they”re deep enough as I”m need to resort to some geometry to check, but not so shallow that it makes me laugh)
Hey there, first post, a little late, but the PR was on time…
Me: Female, age 31, 135#
