I've been stuck at this weight for a long damn time, it's great to finally hit it.

I nailed 132lb 3x5 today (my previous 1RM), so I thought it was time to try a new 1RM. Here it is. I knew it was obviously going to be higher, but I didn't think THIS high. Kudos to Mehdi for a program that really brings out the most in a beginner.

There was a article today on t-nation about overhead press. It inspired me to do it because I have been doing seated press (home gym celing is low) but I recognize that there is more benefit to the overhead press. I have the garage cleaned out and have an extra barbell. I can drag weights and give it a go for a couple of weeks but after that I want my car back in the garage. My seated press PR is 3x3x135lb at BW of 195lb. Tomorrow, I'l work with low weights working on form and then try heavier weights every other day testing a 1RM in a week.

It would seem this challenge has been forgotten by the mods

First of all, it's AMERICANADIAN not AmericanINDIAN. Second, enjoy your brief time in the sun, 'cause I'm coming for you.

hahaha I apologise for my dislexic misreading of your name, American Canadian! I'll keep a long island ice tea chilled for you on OHP paradise island. Don't be too long!

Sweet. This is what I love, a little competition where the real stakes are just bettering yourself.

Can we make it a Tom Collins?

Americanadian and Dylanamus, I'll join both of you sometime soon with a raging bull (my favorite drink as a bartender, red bull + vodka) if the moderators ever update this contest
