Broke 500 pound total on the power lifts, and got some great news!

[Lampito]

Since I started lifting again 3 months ago, I've been concentrating on building strength in the big lifts. I set a new one rep max on back squat about a month ago: 185 lbs (high bar, ATG). Last week I maxed out on bench at 110. And on Thursday, I dead lifted 210! That puts my current maxes at 505 pounds total, which means I met my latest long-term goal. Now to start thinking about 600!

 

Also on Thursday, I found out that I've been accepted to an academic program I applied to. As long as everything works out with finances and logistics, I get to leave my tedious desk job in 4 months and go back to studying something I love! And hopefully start lifting at a fancy college gym.
