Deadlift:
2 x 465
6 x 3 x 380 (speed)
Have not been wearing a belt for deadlifts lately just to see if I can tell the difference... The belt definitely adds some lbs to my squat and improves my form, but I'm not sure it does anything for my deadlift.
Bench:
2 x 3 x 235
Close grip bench:
2 x 3 x 210
Incline bench:
2 x 3 x 195
Happy with this... haven't missed a bench rep in a while, and I've been progressing VERY slowly on purpose, even if I feel like I could do more weight. Slow and steady progress is the key, it's a lot easier to not get greedy and avoid stalling than it is to get un-stalled.
Pullup:
8 x bodyweight
6 x bodyweight
5 x bodyweight
Gotten really weak on these lately
Overhead press:
3 x 155
Didn't have time to do more than 1 set so I went "heavy".
It doesn't matter how good-looking you are, how romantic you are, how funny you are... or anything else. If she doesn't have something INVESTED in you and the relationship, preferably quite a LOT invested, she'll dump you, without even the slightest hesitation, as soon as someone a little more "interesting" comes along.

I think this is a PR. I can't remember ever pulling 5 plates/side for more than 1 rep. It felt pretty smooth, definitely had a few more pounds in the tank. I'd like to squat 500, bench 315 and pull 600 by the end of 2012.
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

Im confident you can do it with squats and deads, but thats a pretty big jump for bench.Kerpal said:
good luck.
Front squats are ****ing tough. I think unracking the weight and walking it out might be harder than the actual squatting part. Bench is finally moving & making decent progress for a change; doing it on a completely different day from squats/deads is making a huge difference. Squats take so much out of me I can't do much when I'm done. We'll see what happens, I'm obviously a natural squatter/deadlifter and not a natural bencher, I've just got to keep hammering away at it.
If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.

Still training. Been lazy on updating this lately. Kind of fell out of the habit when the board was down.
Squat:
5 x 365
5 x 375
5 x 385
Pull up:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Good morning:
3 x 8 x 235
Really starting to like GMs. I go full ROM on these, back parallel to the floor, knees as straight as possible. Extreme hamstring DOMS always follows.
Quick one today:
Bench:
5 x 145
5 x 165
12 x 185
Might have been able to squeeze out another rep but did this without a spotter, didn't want to risk getting stuck.
Deadlift:
5 x 275
5 x 325
12 x 365
Hamstrings still sore from Tuesday's GMs
Really like the 5/3/1 protocol; it doesn't take long, but it gives pretty decent strength gains. Good bang for the buck in terms of time spent vs. results.
