So I begin Maximum Strength next week. This week is a bitch because of travel and I also want to finish testing the maxes on things. I'm getting work done on my back and hips too, so next week will be a great starting point.

Anyhow, these are the current 1RM's, done either last week or this week:

Bench - 265
Squat - 355
Deadlift - 425

My goals for those respective lifts are 300,400,500. Right now I'm feeling like the deadlift still has the farthest to go, not only in the number of pounds but also considering the effort and lack of progress I've made over the last year. Of those 1RM's above, the deadlift was ugly while the other two were solid. I hit 405 a year and half ago!

So let's see what Eric's got for me. Maybe if I can grab him in between future Hall of Famers, then I can get him to help me out with my form or technique.

I'm betting one or both have some serious issues.

Later this week I'll do the Broad Jump and 3RM chinups.
