1x125
1x130kg (pr!)

samshed the squats this morning! a new 1rm pr by 10kg.. also new 3rm pr at 115kg. feeling strong!
i treid using eccentric lowering today to see if it helps with my strict press, ive been struggling for a while to increase my press but having come across some articles on eccentric (the controlled lowering of weight) i feel it might help. Used 40% of my 1rm press, jerked it overhead then as slowly as possible, lowered it down to the rack.
