No big deal, but I'll post it any way...

The 16th of December, last year I pulled 3 plates for 5 reps. 4 days before my 64th Bday. I only trained sporadically throughout the year.....
No belt, straps, or any other accessory equipment. Just sweat pants, T-shirt, and non slip shoes.

Nice work ChessGuy! Goal for 2016? Might I suggest training regularly to see what's possible. Keep up the good work.

[Dave Klopp]

Nice job! I agree with Scott - set a goal(s) for 2016.

[ChessGuy]

I don't believe in setting goals. When I *feel* I can do better safely, I will. No hurry. Heck, I'm sure with a belt and mixed grip I could have pulled 340, or better.

My limitation right now is my grip.

Actually, I do have a goal....that is to stay injury free.

I'm assuming that was a PR, if so it is a big deal. Keep it going.

Yep, a PR. Thanks.

Congratulations! It's always great when you can put up another air of the big wheels. Especially for us geezers.

[MashedTaters]

I'd say it's a big deal! Congrats!

That's awesome, congratulations! Now slap another 5 pounds on the bar and keep going!

File this under "what have you done lately" Bestafter 60 is correct. Congrats on hitting the three plate goal. It is a big deal. PR's for geezers are ego inflating - and they should be. We know now, we were awesome when we were younger but we didn't know it then! However if you don't try and add 5 pounds that strong old guy you know will quickly be a thing of the past.
