Another PR today, my training is getting dialed in.

Nice lifts men!

By coincidence I was out in the garage today working on a project and decided to do a few bench presses. I haven't worked out for a week since I am trying to heal my quads which have been chronicly sore for a few months.

The bench presses were going good and I worked up to my previous paused PR of 335. I felt I had a bit left in the tank so tried 345 which previously was my best ever touch and go and which I barely completed. Got my son out to give me a spot. New paused PR!

Like Shug, my birthday will be in August and I will be 54.

Congrats on the PR, skid.

Thanks Walter,

Hope to see you healed up and training again soon!

front squat PR - 275

I pulled my hamstring back in May and like an idiot tried to train through it. So of course only made it worse. I started the Starr rehab protocol 14 weeks ago. I've been squatting and pulling twice a week, adding 5# to SQ and 10# to DL.
This is my last squat at 290x10. Hopefully I can run it to 10s with 315 before I drop down to 8s.
