I've noticed that I need to take a fairly long stride while performing lunges to avoid hitting my knee on the floor, since I like to go reasonably deep.

Two more new PRs today!

Barbell Bench Press = 335 lbs for 1 rep
Close-grip Incline Press = 260 lbs for 1 rep

Two new PRs today!

Close-grip Bench Press = 265 lbs for 5 reps
One-arm DB Press = 70 lbs for 5 reps ea.

One-arm Dumbbell Press = 75 lbs for 4 reps each arm (12/11/06)

Do you do more 1 Arm or 2 arm?

I can definitely lift more weight seated using a pair of dumbbells than I can with a single dumbbell. I can even lift slightly more weight pressing two dumbbells alternately, though not as much as I can pressing both dumbbells together.

Close-grip Incline Press = 265 lbs for 1 rep (12/18/06)

Barbell Front Squat = 245 lbs for 1 rep (01/06/07)

Standard Deadlift - 385 lbs for 1 rep :-) (01/19/07)

Incline Barbell Press (close-grip) - 275 lbs for 1 rep

I did this with a shoulder width grip on a 45-degree angle.

I also did 185 lbs for 22 reps on Barbell Bench Press (regular-grip). This was fairly late in my workout (after close-grip inclines), so I'm sure I could have done more reps if I had been fresh.

I did 30 reps with 185 lbs on 45-degree Barbell Rows yesterday ... not exactly a personal record, but still pretty cool.

One-arm Dumbbell Press - 75 lbs for 05 reps each arm (01/30/07)

ok, as of this summer when things were clicking well.....before my three month bout with upper resp infections and severe asthma ( which I lost 8 precious lbs ). Im on the mend and slowly working my way back again.

NEW "stupid" strength-endurance best:

600lb wheel barrel walk - 2.5 km before "whimping-out" and going to get the truck to bring it back. Lost count of stops, but permitted myself to rest only a max of 1 min at each stop. Next time i hope to have the "mental endurance" to keep count - maybe use a notepad..

Even my ear lobes and eyebrows are sore, today.
