PRE PRIME
------------------------------
3RM = 240lbs
POST PRIME
------------------------------
3RM = 275lbs >>> +35lbs
This is what I did today:
Squat:
305x5 Only went halfway down, doesn't count
275x3
I loaded 305 and it was too much to go all the way down. I didn't want to quit, so I repped it out 5 times, only going half way. I could have done it ATG 1 time, so I am estimating my new 1RM to be ~305lbs.
I put 275 on there and pumped out 3 solid reps. So squat 3RM has increased 35lbs Good enough for me! Not sure on my 1RM, but it's safe to assume it's increased 30lbs, maybe more!
Look for my PRIME review tomorrow!

3RM on BARBELL BENCH PRESS!
I was so psyched to max! Keep in mind I have not touched flat barbell bench press for 5 weeks. Only incline bb press and db presses.
PRE-PRIME
I have gotten 225x4 on a GOOD day before. My current 1RM before PRIME was 250. My 3RM therefore was an estimated 225-230lbs, probably 225.
And now.....
Drum roll please! ---------------------------------------------------------
BB Bench:
135x8
225x8
250x4
275x1
I was debating whether to warm up or not, finally deciding it would be a good idea. I got on that bench and repped out 135 and was like "WHaaaaaaat???" It felt like I could lift it with my little finger!
Then, I SMAAAAASHED my previous 3RM by 25lbs!!!! I have NEVER been able to get more than 4 reps of 225!
Then I loaded it up with my previous 1RM, 250, and proceeded to smash that too! My 1RM became my new 3RM
Finally, I was like, "FREAKIN SWEET, lets load up 275". Got it almost twice!!! I was so ecstatic after setting these records!!!
So,
POST-PRIME
3RM = 250lbs and
1RM = 275lbs (for now, probably could have done 280-285 cold)
Interesting thing is, about 2 weeks ago, a friend of mine told me he got 265x1. I tried it that same day, but couldn't get it. Now I get 275 almost x2??? Unbelievable.
