I suck at HSPUs. I never work on them, so it is no surprise. I wasn't fully recovered from Diane when I started the row, so I am thrilled to have PR'd.

Very happy about this. 185 felt great, but it took a lot out of me. Before tonight, my best Push Presses were 5x175, 3 x 185, & 2 x 190

Justin,

Sorry I haven't stopped by your log in so long. Nice to see you are still hard at it and setting PRs! Awesome. You've really progressed with a lot of strong work while I've been away.

Starting back into things very slowly after a nine month (pretty much) hiatus with no workouts at all......had to deal with an illness which I think I've finally shaken off. Blessings and take care!
