Posting my first PR's after 3 months of 5x5 training.

Well Tuesday I attained my goal on bench. I pushed 290 pounds!! I'm actually going to try for 295 later this week because I felt I had that extra 5 pounds but wasted the energy on the 290 attempt. I also maxed on Deads a week ago even though I never train for it, I got 385 and that was after my leg workout, so I feel I can get 405 for sure. As for squats I'm hoping for 355 or better but that's not until this Friday. All in all I'm very pleased with my gains and my overall strength especially for a tall ectomorph.

recap
Bench 290
Deads 385
Squat 355 (should get this Friday)

Excellent job man!

What did you start out at before doing the 3 months of 5x5 ??

Progress reports are really inspirational to all of us!

The biggest increase was in my bench I was at 265 before and now it's 290 so a nice 25 pound gain. Like I said I'd like to see 295 this Friday or Saturday. As for the deads I didn't train them so I don't know how much they increased, but I'm pretty sure that it went up because I feel stronger everywhere. Squats didn't increase to much because I didn't train them serious or regularly enough but I'm sure I gained something.

I'd say wait a bit longer to go for your PR on chest again...just my 2 cents!!!
