Extremely happy to hit a new PR this morning. (two actually, my previous 1RM was 440 lb)  Both felt very good.  I wanted 500 this morning, but it wasn’t going to happen. Not bummed at all, this is good progress for me, I think I was just done by that point.

Here is a video of my 450 lb lift:

 

Wanted a video of the 475 lb as well, but my friend had issues with the camera (Mark, I may give you a hard time about that for a while. Hahaha)

The new PR is a great way to start the week. I will have that 500 lb dead soon – I will.

Walked to my destimation / jogged back

 

Abs:

Hang-hold:

20 sec x 3  (weak!)

(Got this gem from Darren (Coach) [who got it from http://danjohn.net/] Hang from a chinup bar, bring your knees up to your chest, and hold as long as you can. As soon as the top of your thighs drop below parallel with the floor, you’re done.)

This is a good one. Abs/core needs work and this is going to help. Thanks again Coach.
