My Personal Records (PRs)

Event Work Date PR
Weightlifting
Deadlift, 5 rep Max 09/08/2009 275 lbs
Deadlift, 3 rep max 12/29/2009 290 lbs
Deadlift, 1 rep max 08/24/2009 310 lbs

Back Squat, 3 rep 12/22/2009 160 lbs

This is my new “working” 3 rep max. By “working,” I mean, practically speaking this is what I can do, and I’m working on it. I had previously, on 03/18/2009 achieved a true three rep PR of 175. But as with my 1 rep max, which has actually decreased since I lost all that weight, my 3 rep number has suffered as well.
Back Squat, 1 rep 12/08/2009
185 lbs.
Previously, I had set a 1 rep max back squat on Mar. 14th, 2009, at 195 lbs. At the time I weighed 205 lbs and this was only 95.1% of my body weight. When I lost 30 lbs between March and July 2009, I may also have lost some stability and strength in the squat. My new 1 rep max number reflects a more realistic, recent effort. It should be viewed as a starting point.
