    Sounds like a logical pyramid to a one rep max. Good job. I'm currently focusing on getting my dead numbers up as I feel that lift is lagging for me currently. Slow and steady.

    Congrats, that is awesome. I have been doing SL5x5 (doing 4 sets of 5 though due to 750 calorie deficit) for a while now, did 4x5 at 240 last. I'm looking forward to 275.

    I would encourage you to work on your squat, so many benefits. I started squatting at 135 5 months ago and did 4x5 at 300 last.
