Nice man! You beat me to it. We should keep a list of the best PRs per lift.

From the last thread...

Here are my lifting PR's:

Power Clean: 215 lbs x 3RM
Bench Press: 315 lbs x 3RM
Deadlift: 345 lbs x 4RM (pic below)
Single Arm Press: 95lbs per arm x 5RM (Pic Below)
Squat: 295 lbs x 3RM

Plyo:

Broad Jump: 9 ft 3 in
Verticle: 32 in

Sprint:

40 yard: 4.9 sec
Mile: 6:35

I'll move my pics tomorrow when I'm on my pc.

Great post, I will keep an eye out for new stuff for me to try. I work out at the gym 6 days a week working all the muscle groups. I run 4-5 miles 3 times a week, and Ive also started Insanity and will start week 2 of this (wanted something new for cardio). So anything new would be helpful.

Sounds like you are on the right track. I loved insanity!

damn man you have me beat in everything but the mile. I can crank out a sub 6 minute run all day.

Great idea too when I get the chance I'll add to the original post everyone's PBs.

Hey, I'd trade all of it for your mile time! I weight about 215 lbs right now. I'd kill to be a lean, quick monster like you man. My punches are too lumbering and telegraphed. I would trade some strength for speed in a second!
