    Met my PR at 165#. I should have checked my PR before I started and could have tried to beat it.
    max reps – 40 @ 115#

  5. Tpoole says:

    1 RM = 140# which is a PR

    37 reps at 85#

    As usual I’m squat-challenged. I think my 105# was low enough to count, but it’s hard for me to get low and stay upright. Did 20 reps at 60. Liz’s 1RM was 115# and she got 30 reps at %.

  7. Dustin says:
