Within the past month or so, I’ve hit:

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.
Congratulations on the PRs. I’ll be testing mine this weekend and I’ll be right around those numbers for squat and bench. Hopefully my deadlift will be a little more.
