alright got all of the #'s I was trying for though I went for the 120 for bench on wednesday and got it so tried 125 friday and only got 4 reps. so new 5 rep maxes are:
Bench: 120   
Squat: 150
Deadlift: 175
got squats and deadlifts easy enough so likely another 5 on both of those next week maybe bench to but not sure.

Lol t.t I'm so retarded I'm in this contest but I didn't train in a while really.

Did 160lbs squat today, 155 bench and POM POM 170 DEADLIFT! first lift that is my bodyweight, I expect up my lifts weight to bodyweight within 4 months ( technically should be done in 2 weeks but its getting hard here) and I aim all 3 lifts to be 200 by march/april. we'll see over there. technically I'm aiming to be in the 250's range by june.

Oh cool, haven't lifted today yet might go for some new PR's but not completely sure.Haven't lifted since tuesday so I had an extra day to rest so I would think today would be a good day.

 "I will do today what you won't, so I can do tomorrow what you can't."
"There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs."

My 5rm's are now 125 155 and 195.Squat and deadlifts go up so fast but bench goes up so slow..feel like I could get more on squats and deadlifts might try 160 or 165 and 200 or 205 next week, probably will be a while before bench goes up was hard as crap to get 125 today. How much total weight have yall put on your lifts so far? 50 here. I would think I would slow down a bit but i'm not sure I seem to be progressing good so far.

 "I will do today what you won't, so I can do tomorrow what you can't."
"There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs."

Only 20 so far but havent worked out in a while I work alot, I'll try to add a nice 15 today

"There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs."

Sure for pics, tell me when ya'll ready. Today I'm working out.. bummer I reduced my bench work of 25 lbs :( but I guess its for my own good. Gonna try to keep up my squat and deadlift tho, deadlift should be 185 today and Squat maybe I'll keep 160 for another workout or jump to 165 and my bench down to 135 ''man I'm really sad lol''... Anyways I'm out working out and trying to find some support work for my main lifts.. prolly gonna add good mornings, pull ups and dips/skullcrushers/close grip bench.. idk yet

any ideas?

I might just take ur routine. Although I'm restarting everything up.

Starting my squat to 100,deadlift to 130 and bench to 90 as of tommorow...

It's alright though it'll catch up pretty quick I guess.. plus I'll rework my form I guess

Good idea to rework form? Or because you don't have the right equipment atm to go heavier like in your other post? Sounds like a good idea always seems like a good idea to take a few workouts off to make sure form is good. And sure you can take my program take part of it w/e you like.
current 5rm's:
bench 125 <--I hate benching goes up way to slow..
Squat 160<-- gonna do 165-170 within the next few workouts
Deadlift 205 <---New favorite lift
 
Wow i've been eating sooo much lately but I guess its good for me because I hadn't gained any weight the last few weeks gained a lb. this week so its good.

 "I will do today what you won't, so I can do tomorrow what you can't."
"There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs."

Well for both form and equipement. It's gonna be a deloading session until I get back to my original weights and see what happens from there.

deadlift is my new favorite lift too and bench my least lol, squat in inbetween the two. I just wish there was a compound existing that would mainly focus biceps.

Of course I only do major compounds now I.E squats,dead,bench,power clean etc etc but sometimes I just wish something would hit the bicep really hard... I don't think I'm gonna get much growth for them from deadlifts.
