Help? HELP?  Gonzo, from the looks of test day, you're already doing SOMETHING right! Admittedly, I haven't followed the logs here as closely as I have at 100% RAW, but comparing your "miss" to what you were doing when you first started posting, that was what, around 225-230 back then? Either way that has been some serious improvement! The 3-rep sets dropping back to the 60% range and linear progression, that's a scheme that MANY top lifters have used over the years. That and some modification of it, that is. Using that lifting template, the KILLER close grip percentages you're using, that ought to get the 290 back going. GOD bless! |

I'm 6'2" wt 235lbs. I don't "compete" just do it to keep healthy.I think I would need to be alot stronger for my wt class. My best deadlift was 405lbs best squat 350lbs.Since adding Christ to the mix I have gotten more out of it.Plus looking at life differently too.
GOD bless
