WoW Pretty Impressive!! I've been there before and nothing is more satisfying when you know you're about to get the weight up after the long struggle of pushing it up!

[BRETZERR]

Thanks man...that was a tough one, but very satisfying to complete. Thanks for watching and commenting...I just did 3 PR's today...check them out!

[franco18grant]

ive never seen anyone with as much determination as you seriously you were stuck half way up for so long, i would of probably given up lol

[BRETZERR]

Thanks man...yeah, that was a tough rep. But somehow it went...

[zachnutts]

your gonna be the first person i ever seen reach 400 while just maintaining a normal diet the cool part is your built like a normal guy but your as strong as an ox it amazing you're are a true inspiration to me to keep training hard without supplements

[meester6178]

Yea if I were you I'd leave the bench inside

By the way, thats mario kart in the background correct?

[BRETZERR]

Yeah, that's Mario Kart for the Wii...my kids love it.

[BRETZERR]

Thanks bro...

[dario2004]

wow and you did 370 after doing 365 thats amazing, you have great strength and soon you be at 400, great show of strength, i would not be able to do 5 pounds more after maxing, man you are a beast, good job

[BRETZERR]

Thanks bro...I surprised myself by getting this one. It was definitely a grinder. Although, I had a really long rest between 365 lbs and 370 lbs, so I can't take too much credit here. But thanks for the comments!

[HHH396]

That's cool though.You're with your kids....you're doing your thing and they're doing there thing.Everybody wins!

[BRETZERR]

You're right...win...win for everyone. LOL

[HHH396]

hahha I just noticed they're playing mario again...that's too funny!

[BRETZERR]

LOL Yeah, that's usually when I have time to try a rep or two is when they are playing Mario Kart.

[HHH396]

That just cracks me up! You plan your training with your kids video game time.That's pretty smart though.With the amount of hrs most kids put in on video,it gives u a lot of training time haha

[BRETZERR]

Actually, I am usually playing with them and I just take a quick break in order to do a set or two. It works well...

[HHH396]

Great job Randy! You surely earned that one! way to stay with it.I would think that puts your regular grip in the 385 range.

[BRETZERR]

Thanks Mark. Yeah, that was a tough one...definitely my limit for a few weeks. I will leave these alone for awhile.

[HHH396]

That's a good idea.Once u reach a peak,if u push it too much you'll get weaker.Believe me i've been there.I probably will do 1 more week on these and try 390 or 395 because I just started doing these again.

What exercise are u moving to in the next few weeks?

[BRETZERR]

That's a good question...I am not sure as of yet. I might just go a little lighter on the bench for a while and work on my speed out of the bottom. Who knows...
