Tracking personal records (PRs) is useful for gauging Physical Fitness progress. For me there is no goal and there is no end. It's just fun to watch the numbers go up!
These are my most up-to-date PRs. The big three (squat, press and deadlift) are the most-tracked lifts, but I've listed lifts which are tracked less often here too. Alongside them, if the PR is not for 1 rep, then I've listed an estimated 1-rep max (1RM) using the Brzycki method. Estimations are not always accurate but give a good guess as to what weight I could lift for 1 rep. But because testing a 1RM is exhausting and 1 is not in the ideal rep range for a workout I rarely if ever test my 1RM.
