PR = Personal Record

[JiantJay]

I achieved a personal record today I have been seeking for three weeks. Small in some peoples mind but LARGE for me! A little tip I read latley may have helped. I squezed the bar as hard as I could for two seconds, let go for about three and went to pressing. Has anyone else used such tip or technique? IF so, has it helped?

Right on, happy to hear you got your goal. However, no I've never tried that before.

Hell yeah buddy! Excellent job yesterday. My pecs are sore today!

Back in 1991, I employed 1990 Southern State winner, Luke Tezvic, as my personal trainer and he's given me great advise. One which I still use was to keep the thumb on the side of the index finger, rather than wrap it around the barball/dumbell, when doing arm workouts. It's helped my training eversince.

And about your personal record, bro. Although it may be small for others, as you say, it's still a great success for you. Even after 4 knee surgeries, I managed to break my own squat record. Prior to that, I hadn't performed any heavy squats in 3 years, which was when I began having knee pains. So it's not what others may think, it's what goals you have in your workouts.
