Meeks Training LOG

Well, its been awhile since I last posted here.
Just a quick update.

I’ve been lifting, but yah yah all that bullshit, got unfocused on my goals and crap

well, at my prime I was 205lb at the start of my senior year with a 1 rep max of this
bench: 245(goal 315)
squat: 315lb(goal: 405
deadlift:455(strapped,i want to get back to this and higher but without straps…)

I’m focused and ready to do this again.
right now, it seems my back has been getting neglected.
my stats at the moment would be as followed

bench:245lb
squat:285lb-ish gotta test it
deadlift: 245lb and my hands started giving my problems, havent did deadlifts in awhile, then though its my favorite LIFT!

I’m about 240lbs(fat…yes), I’m just about to be enlisted in the Army National Guard, so running and power cardio will be important part of this training, I love strongman training, just need to find a tire, and such, anyone suggest strongman style training, that doenst require random items? :stuck_out_tongue:

need to find alittle book to put everything in.

Not sure if I should put pics up :confused:
