125 lb DB Bench

jplatz Posts: 196 Joined: 2002/10/08	2004/03/01, 09:22 PM I wanted to share in my celebration of setting a new PR of 125 db bench. I did them for 4 reps with a great spotter who did not have to assist! Here's to breaking new records!!! -------------- Pain is but a threshold to greater strength.

jplatz Posts: 196 Joined: 2002/10/08	2004/03/02, 01:18 PM I've never gone as high as 125 before. I just set my mind to it, picked up the weight and started pressing. Next thing I knew, 4 reps were done. I don't go for 1RM. I know that performing 4 reps means I can do more on a 1RM, but I refuse to limit myself. I figure one day I'll find my true max and even then push it. ============ Quoting from McManus: If you did for reps of 125... How is that your PR? Do singles and more weight... lol That's how I find PR's :P But excellent job ;) McManus ============= -------------- Pain is but a threshold to greater strength.
