The PR (personal record) Thread

[.Sean.]

My gym has this one:

And 2 of these:

The second link is the one I use for deadlifts and barbell shrugs. Notice there are two black round studs (I call them pegs) in the front of the rack. That's where I rest the barbell.

Personally, if I was shrugging heavy I'd go in the cage (the first one) and adjust the safety bars to the point where you barely even have to lift it (unless you also want the 1Rep partial dead ) .. you could also do partial deads in the cage adjusting the safety bars for more or less ROM if you're into that.. although I just prefer going full out on deads... but I understand not wanting to take the squat cage for shrugs if thats the reasons, but it would definitely be safer and easier

I use the second one as well, but i lift from inside the thing.

I just put a couple of pads in there so the bar isn't hitting the sides when i shrug.

I forgot...I had a PR this morning!!! It was for cardio though...its a PR since getting heavier anyway. I burned 400 cals in 18:35 on the elliptical this morning...smashing my previous record of 18:51.

Thanks bro!!! Its a killer in the morning. My legs were burning from having the level so high and I really was breathing very heavy. Felt great though, I actually love doing cardio.

It's sad....But today's the 1st time in my life where i've run 1HR straight. I think that's something worthy of posting on here

Thats not sad.

Running for 1 straight hour is not easy.

[Warrior21]

Nice lift BK!!!

Big Guy running for an hour straight is very impressive!!! Nothing sad about that at all.
