Men make me jealous. Not only do you have p3nises, you can dead lift like 500 lbs. #180. :sad:0

I was going to insert a joke about having a deadlift platform.
I do agree, if you compete, that gym PRs don't really count. But let's be serious, if you squat a grand in the gym, you're gonna be stoked either way.0 -
New PR for me today-270 x 1. Pretty excited. Loving the Cube method!0

630 @ 302 as of last month. Did it with only a weight belt, a deep breath and some Rise Against.
The whole reason I'm here is for a better lift / weight ratio. Think I can lean out while only losing so much strength.0 -
Single raw Rep Max of 425 @226 lbs about an hour ago. That's not a lifetime best, but it's the best in the last 15 years. Feels good to be back in the land of the living.
(just joined group BTW). My goal is to hit 450 during my 50th year.0 -
Geez, I feeling good about pulling my new pr of 335 on Friday, now I see I'm a total *****.
Oddly enough I'm one of those weirdos who can squat heavier than I deadlift.0 -

Any PR is an accomplishment, no matter what it is. You're not competing with everyone else, just yourself.
Count me in the list of weirdos, then - my squat's 70 lbs heavier than my deadlift. (615 vs 545).0 -

Agree, that's my goal too. I'm trying to keep my weight around 199/198 and am shooting for a 405lb deadlift as my first goal. I'd like to get my squat up to 405 as well and my bench to 300.0 -

Update: Just lifted 440. Feels like I got more in the tank, but it's time to rotate off of max lifts for several weeks. My goal is to get to 450, which is what I need to stabilize my back during the torsional stresses I generate when doing Muay Thai. Anything above that is gravy.0 -

Would say given a good day you have 450 easy! A couple weeks off of the singles and low reps should freshen you up nicely for another cycle of going for singles!0 -

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I think the next 25 pounds is gonna be mostly technique. I was a bit forward out of groove (you can see it in the picture). I can definitely fix that.0 -
Pulled 230 for a 1RM last cycle. Not maxing out for a couple more cycles, but with as easy as 205 x 3 was last week and 215 felt today, I'm pretty confident I will be setting a solid PR next time.0
-
Today I hit a very clean 405lbs for my 1RM which is my new PR. My weight fluctuates between 200 and 205 right now, so it's almost 2x body-weight. :drinker:0

Awesome! I tried to jack 365 again and got it up 5-6" but then I bailed! Argh!0

Bailing is better than snapping!!!0 -
Tried 365lbs AGAIN and failed. This is after switching to light squats / heavy deads routine. Last week it was heavy squats / light deads.
I guess in two weeks, I'll try 355lbs and see what happens0 -

What program or system are you using?0 -
Nothing special. 135lbs for 6, 185lbs for 6, 225lbs for 6, 275lbs for 1, 315lbs for 1, 345lbs for 1, then tried 365lbs and failed.
It's usually some variation of that. Been able to increase the weight until now.0 -
Went for a personal best on Monday at 455 lbs DL @ age 50. Failed. I ripped it off the ground and got it up to my knees but was a bit too far forward and wound up out of groove. Unfortunately, that night in Muay Thai I caught an upward arcing Thai kick up under my floating ribs. I wound up with bruised ribs as well as some bruising to the abdominal muscles underneath. Gonna have to mellow out and heal up before doing another max DL attempt. I've got the strength for it. I think I just gotta get used to the way the weight pulls you forward and set up my groove to compensate. I got this.0

If you keep running into a wall maybe you might need to change things up a little. If so, definitely get a copy of the Cube Method. It's definitely changed the way I approach my training and I've had good results. I actually have a thread / training journal in the Power Lifting section.0 -
I finally did it! At another gym no less! 135 / 225 for reps. 275 / 315 / 335 for singles. Tried 360 and it went up easy. So went ahead and tried 365 and it went up easy! I have no idea what the difference is. I actually did heavy bench Sat and light bench tues. But this was the first time with CHALK. I've been having a hard time with the grip and have been using straps but I think it might have hurt the lifts. Been stuck at this weight for months! I think I could do 375 fairly easy and now I'm pumped to go after 405 soon!0

Nice work Jeff!0

Nice job. It's a great feeling when you pull and it comes off the ground like that and you just know you're locking that **** out.0 -
Yup and yeah, feels great. I would have yelled out something but everyone in the gym would think I'm retarded.
I wish I knew what the difference was. I'm hoping it's as simple as using the chalk vs the straps.0 -
Just finished this cycle at 270x 60
