My Road to a 1600lbs Total

Had a log going here and I haven’t posted in it in awhile, so I’m making a new one. Planning on doing a meet in August. Right now I’m doing raw work and I’ll start gearing up later on

My training split looks like this
Day 1- Bench
Day 2- Squats
Day 3- Bench
Day 4- Squats(light), Deadlifts
