Weightlifting: PR Every Week Challenge

 

To spice up my weightlifting hobby, I've decided to try to PR once a week and see how long I can keep it up. Yesterday, I managed a ten pound PR by deadlifting 390 for 8 reps. By using a wide variety of rep ranges and lifts, this approach is likely more sustainable than one might think. Below is my current PR chart. BTPP is behind the neck push press, while SGDL is snatch-grip deadlift.
