225 x 5
275 x 3
365 x 2

Nice job.

That should help out the deadlift a little.


Tell me this - were you wide stance or shoulder width?


Congratulations.

a little wider than shoulder width. Had to relearn my squat recently holding the bar down lower on my back. a whole new beast but I am finally comfy with it

Sounds like the way my old training partner used to squat, he would place the bar literally halfway down his back, but he had an 800+ squat so it must have worked.

Great work on 500, I've come close but not quite on that mark, I seem to have a mental block around 500
