I’ve been lifting for almost 8 years now and felt that my strength has stalled so I started Wendler’s 5/3/1 last month and I just started my 2nd cycle today.

Height: 5-9
Weight: 195 lbs

Training Maxes:
Standing OHP = 190
Deadlift = 470
Bench = 315
Box Squat = 375 (my back squat training max would be 415, but I’m trying out box squats for now to try to address some of my glute/hamstring weaknesses)

Previous Rep PR’s (from my 1st 5/3/1 cycle):
