Thanks for that
I thought so when I did it too - but afterwards Im not sure that I was really ready for it - the form felt great while doing it and my trainer told me it was near perfect. Im just not sure about it because I think it may have stressed me too much. Something I might have been better off building up to, rather than jumping at it because someone convinced me I could.
I dont think it will be too long before I can do so confidently - then soon after that you guys can tell me that 495 for 5 reps was good work .

How did you warm up for it? Hope you didn't jump in at the deep end...

Congrat btw, that is a nice lift.

Thanks Quagmire
I did it after my workout and Cardio for the day - I couldn't have been more warmed up.

good luck with your challenges guys here you can start posting how you did on this thread I made.

I have decided to make threads under training logs because they will be sort of like a log of how you are doing towards your goal. If someone thinks they should be categorized in a different spot please let me know.
