Piccolojones Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm pretty stoked. I hit my PR of 200 lbs for 5 reps on Deadlift yesterday. This was a goal that I've had for a while now, because I kept falling off the exercise bandwagon. But this summer I finally decided enough was enough and that I was going to do Stronglifts 5x5. I didn't follow the progressions exactly because I wanted to hit 200lbs by the end of August. Regardless, I hit 200 and felt absolutely great doing it!

Shortgorilla Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Awesome! Congrats. Now that you've done it, you can always backpedal on the 5x5 a little to keep the incremental increases in weight going. How are the rest of your lifts progressing?

Piccolojones Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks!I'm at 170 for squats, still progressing rapidly; stuck at 120 for bench (tomorrow will be my third day there, hopefully a breakthrough); 95 for OH press, with one stall so far; 120 for rows, still progressing, and I jumped ahead in my Deadlifts. I've been doing my deadlift set as AMRAP. I know that's not true SL protocol, but I liked the AMRAP progression from Grayskull LP.
