Haven't written a post in a while so I figured I'd update a little bit. I've been on an extended strength cycle since January and have made some good progress. Recent PRs include:
Strength PRs:
Squat 465lbs x 5
Bench 270lbs x 5 x 3
Press 180lbs x 5 x 3
Random Oly PR:
C&J 130kg.
I have 2 more weeks and then I will run a mock meet and test my new maxes. My goals are: squat over 500, bench over 300, press over 200.
Astute individuals will notice that I didn't mention the deadlift. With that one, I'm trying to strengthen my back as much as possible by doing it beltless and only with weight that I can do without rounding my back at all. Currently I'm working with 385lbs for 5.
I've also gained about 10lbs on this strength cycle which means I'm way over my weight class. My next meet is scheduled for August 2nd, so when I come off the strength cycle I will start dieting.
