Very strong second of this! Except for the 500lbs part, that’s a down-the-road goal 
It really can’t be overstated how much the extra couple scrotum points help you when the weight gets heavy though. Something about unracking with confidence turns into squatting with confidence. Same with bench too.

Deadlift 82.5kg, 95kg, 105kg x 5, FSL 2 x 5
Got sloppy on some reps. It’s okay. At least I like some of the reps now
OHP 32.5 x 5, 37.5 x 3, 42.5kg x 8 (PR!), FSL 3 x 5
@chris_ottawa I just realized why my press is stronger relative to my bench. A possible reason is that only the first rep is technically full ROM. I don’t rest the bar on my clavicle on subsequent reps. They just drop down to around Adam’s apple height, or even higher
Seated cable face pulls 20kg x 10 x 4 sets
Side Laterals 7.5kg x 10, 6 lbs x 10, 2 lbs x 10, 3 rounds
Back raises holding 10kg plate in front 3 x 10
Good mornings 40kg x 8 x 3 sets
Tried doing Nordic hamstring thing… I wasn’t able to control the descent and was relying on the push up too much. I could see it’s potential though. Will stick to GMs for now

U shud do a program that has u working at higher relative intensities next for kicks.
Like specifically in 1-3 rep range for example?
Rep range is seperate variable to intensity.
Sheiko will have u hitting triples but mostly sub 80%. Other programs will have you hit 5 RMs which would be 80+.
I’m thinking something with comp lifts in the 2-6 rep range. 70% 1RM+ but as high as 90% and pushing into PBs when they opportunity will inevitably present itself. Like my Sheiko Gold training rn
Got it. What program might that be? Aside from sheiko of course. Could give it a try for a while if I get bored with 5/3/1. For now though it’s doing a pretty good job at building base strength I think. Not that I’ve tried other programs to compare, but the numbers are way better compared to when I was doing stronglifts for example

Many lol. A bunch or powerlifting peeps put on programs of that style. Look at lift vault for some spreadsheets or go to your favourite YouTuber

That would make some difference, but probably not that much. A lot of powerlifters only bring the bar down to around chin level because they have big arms and poor mobility, and I’m not aware of any that their press is relatively stronger than bench.
I’m pretty sure you would make better bench gains by benching twice a week.

Former very very very very skinny kid here, and it’s simple to gain weight, but it’s hard as fuck. Always. We’re not fat kids. Wanna be bigger, you’ll have to eat until you’re uncomfortably full, and then do it again.

…and again, and again, and again.
How long did it take you to be not-so-skinny?
Drink a lot of calories. I can only eat a bit at a time but I can always chug a glass of milk or shake after

Whenever I gain weight it’s mostly fat or so it seems, a year ago I was 12 kg heavier and was much stronger, sometimes I wish I didn’t cut back. But only sometimes.
Nice PR btw

Uhh…like 4 years of eating what felt like too much food, minimum, and even now, 11+ years later, it’s still hard to get everything I need to maintain over 200 lbs. Dont let the ex-fatties convince you otherwise - not being able to eat enough sucks when you want desperately to be bigger.
