Sounds great to me. Do any of these numbers have a particular significance, such as double your bodyweight or something like that? I ask because I’m incredibly pleased with myself that I just got to the point where I can deadlift more than my bodyweight. (Yeah, I know, that’s Weenie-ville for most of you guys, but it makes me feel like a tough broad.)

Bah, nonsense. We T-Nationers can always find something to make fun of!

You should be more concerned with fixing yourself a nice tall glass of SHUT UP JUICE!

Do you know what your previous maxes were, and when you last tested them?[/quote]
My bench was about 230 proabably about a year and a half ago, but I hurt my shoulder and it seems to just keep getting worse, so I dont go heavy often if at all on the bench.
Squat was 235x5 before 20 rep squats.
Deadlifts was about 315 a year or so ago. I’m going to be working on this since its obviously progressed horribly since then. I really have to work on technique in regards to pulling back instead of pulling up, and using my legs more and less of my back.
The first time I clean and jerked was about two weeks ago, so this is the first time I’ve tested it.
