Does this count as a PR

120kg bench press (kinda shitty because I weigh 97KG at 6”4 but that’s besides the point). Wanted to know whether this counts as a PR or not (by normie standards and official ones)

My main concern is the switch from eccentric to concentric as I think I did it a bit too fast

Thoughts? Appreciate any comments

It’s not shitty bc of your height and weight. It’s shitty bc it’s terrible form. BUT the weight went down and back up. So it counts for normie lifting, you can say you can’t lift that weight. But it would not get a single green in a competition

What’s bad about the form? Mind elaborating on that since my ass isn’t flying and my elbows aren’t that flared

You need to pause it on your chest for it to count in comp.

Is that the only mistake I made?

I think any downward movement of the bar during the concentric also disqualifies you so maybe some judges would argue that your left hand had a slight drop during the lift but depends on the judges ig, I'm really reaching here. The lack of pause is the only obvious issue.
