Progress is progress brother!
Thanks!
It fluctuates but 200 is the best average. I'm 5'8.
Don't forget that your training max for 5/3/1 (which is what you base your percentages off) is 90% of your actual 1RM.

Yup! I think I'll get back to most of these weights in 6 months or so. Then I'll be repping them
That's good to hear!

By the way, those are some nice numbers to start 5/3/1 with.
That puts you in the neighborhood of about 180lb for a 1RM. Getting close to dat BW OHP (if not already there).
A BW OHP is no joke
Speaking of OHP, it's my day today. Gonna attempt 225 tonight! When I got 215 a few weeks ago it was tough. Should be interesting.
Thanks! Hardwork is paying off.
I better step my game up for our lift off next year. We should do iron sport then nifty fifties diner for burgers and shakes.

Picked up some ridiculous peanut butter at GNC. Contains some flax seed and soy protein isolate.
Calories 440
Fat 44g
Serving size 5 tbps lol
Had only 1 tbps. 5 is fucking overkill, but boy did I get a great pump today. Taste is pretty epic too

Maybe she's just flirting with you to buy more and more expensive protein and bars

Looking strong, not looking like the milhouse wannabe.
Great work, I support any and all people named Sean, since that's my middle name.
I think I just may.
Maybe but I rarely flirt back, she's asked me if I had a girlfriend or was married. I'm too busy making eyes at those cookie dough Quest bars.
Yes but you don't count because we know you are on dat Red Bull.
225lb OHP is badass
The video is set to private
And speaking of deadlifts, my back doesn't feel as bad as I feared. I definitely tweaked it, but it's manageable. Not pulling the final heavy set was definitely a good move.
I think I'm gonna skip next week's deadlifts just to be safe, and I'll repeat the cycle the week after. Depending on how I feel I might shuffle my training around so I do 531 Bench on Monday and 531 Squats on Wednesday to give my back a bit longet to recover.
I was dying at 155! I can't imagaine doing 180 but I will try next shoulder day. I really have to attack the bar on the first rep to get it going. Then I can push them out and get that drive.
Yeah, the first rep is usually the hardest since it has no 'bounce' from the eccentric part of the movement.
I was using the old formula (155*0.0333*5)+155=180.8lb
How accurate it is depends on the individual but it definitely puts you in the ballpark.Poindexter

Opps..Fixed!
You could date her just for the quest bars.
I once (briefly) dated a girl in college for free Chinese food. She brought me sesame chicken every time she came from work.
God she was annoying.
The angle is not great (it'd be better from the side) but they look good.
I'd try to keep the bar closer to my legs. In some reps it looked like you were shoving it forward a bit when lowering the weight. You have to use your lats to consciously make sure that the bar travels on a vertical path.
The hyperextension you are doing at the top is quite exaggerated. It's not necessary. Just lock out your knees and hips at the top.
And get a real belt

Introduced my wife to the main SS lifts today at the gym. Pretty cool seeing her go from "no way am I getting that bar out of the rack" to squatting 75 lbs in the space of 15 min.

Yea, I've had that problem. I don't scrape up my shins as much as others. So its not as close to my legs like you said. I've been trying to correct that.
I'll try and get another video next week from the side. Oh and look into the belt
What is everyones opinion on Sumo Deadlifts? Used to do them but have been doing conventional lately. Might go back or switch it up a bit.

Few days old but man, a pan seared steak is the greatest thing ever.

Sumo Deadlifts are desirable for certain individuals with a certain type of proportions (long torso, short limbs; usually good squatters but poor deadlifters) because they'd allow them to move mroe weight.
Since you are a novice, it is your best interest to get strong, and for that purpose, conventional deadlifts are simply better: not only do they have a longer ROM; they also utilize (and therefore train) more muscle mass. Stick with conventional deadlifts and get good at them. Don't do things just for the sake of "switching things up". Get to a 455lb+ conventional Deadlift first.
Doing good work man, keep it up!
Maybe, but when you're light as me, it's not too impressive heh!

Fair enough and makes sense. 5 or so years ago when I was really into training I would do the Sumo lift. In fact, I didn't start the conventional DL until the past year I would say.

exactly. A BW press is impressive regardless of your weight.
Considering I rarely see men do OHP at my gym and when they do their form is terrible any BW OHP is something to be proud of!
Yup yup.
The most impressive guys at a meet are the skinny ones putting up huge numbers for their size.
It is. My perceptions are just skewed. Hearing how some of you guys are doing 175 for reps and the guys at my gym are also doing high numbers changes the idea of what is good. But yeah, BW press is good.

Awesome job man.
Pound per pound, the most impressive powerlifter in history.
Are we posting numbers today? Current 5/3/1 1RM:
Squat -305
Dead- 395
Bench - 240
OHP - 165 (his 175 in April but had to deload after, cut hurt this lift more than any other)
Slowly and steadily getting where I want to be. I'd love to bench 275, Dead 450, and keep my squats at pace by years end. OHP goals are less lofty, maybe 1RM of 190?
I need to push Squats more. Got so worried about form I deloaded majorly a year ago and am just getting back where I was before doing so. They are definitely lagging, hell, my bench is catching up!

just added 5lbs on my front squat today... yet my Bench is still the same since 2 weeks
If I can bench 225lb and Squat 365lb for reps by the end of this year I'll be content. For most people a 225lb bench is something that is achievable after 1 year of training or less, but considering I couldn't bench press the empty bar when I started I guess it's not that bad.
Hopefully I can reach a 550lb deadlift by the end of the year as well. Provided I don't reinjure myself
You've blown your cover; you are a Bro in disguise.

Latest numbers, no idea of 1RM. Current weight: 229 lbs
OHP - 6 x 170 lbs
Squats - 7 x 355 lbs
Decline Bench - 8 x 255 lbs
Deads - 5 x 365 lbs
As mentioned, I feel like I could have gotten 3 more reps with deads but my grip just slipped.
Want to get 315 lbs on flat, 400+ for squats/deads, and 225 for OHP
