    I did all my 1RM tests last week.

    Squat: 285
    Bench: 275
    DL: 395
    TOTAL: 955

    - 45 pounds

    Which is pretty good considering 8 to 10 weeks ago I pulled my back DL-ing a measly 75 pounds. Start my new program on Wednesday.

    Thanks! Not terribly to worried about it... first time I've tested myself since I've gotten back in the gym 6 months ago. Hope to be there by end of Oct - start of Nov, but as long as I have clean and form-perfect work-reps, I am not overly concerned. It's a nice training footnote.

    Lol I used to do that too. Between ripping extra skin off and looking dumb in public by putting my hand up to my face, I thought there's got to be an easier way.

    Works a treat for flattening them. I don't want to remove them.

    I'll be happy just to get into the "advanced" realm...considering I've only been weight training for 4 months I think that's still pretty good when it says their "advanced" numbers are for athletes who have been lifting for a few years!

    This site puts in to perspective that I have too much fun lifting weights and since I got goals now I can start lifting with a purpose. I have been just messing around way to long I should be at some of those elite number by now.

    Same except for my squat being so low. I really would like to see at least one or two elites status when I get to my weight goal.

    raw means no chalk right? or just no knee wraps/ straps?

    I can't think of a federation that doesn't allow chalk. Most feds that I have heard of don't let you wear knee support during deadlift. Definitely no lifting straps.
