245 DL x 3
255 almost atgs lol
145 bench, yes I know.
95 ohp
Im having a blast tho. Lifting is acyually fun when you have a system etc
I would stick with this program personally. I have lifted and powerlifted for a long time and look up to Jim Wendler for developing this program. This program is designed for you to be constantly hitting pr's, lifting in the 50-90% load range and not burning yourself out.
Do box squats, if you don't know what they are look them up. use them to measure your squat weight. it teaches great form that allows you to load your hamstrings. Building your rear lower posterior chain will flow right into bigger numbers on the deadlift.
If you rate your progress on numbers your going to get mad and hurt yourself. it's taken me a long time to get over that. we are all built differently and function differently. Lifting is a battle with yourself, no one else. keep it up.

I lift bro's..
I run Texas Method/Bill Starr program with a little oly tossed in at 3 days per week. Have been for about a year and a half now.
Here are my 1RM's now for my current frame at 6'2 175lbs lean. All lifts are full movement none of that half or quarter rep bullshit i'm wondering if some of you do looking at your stats.
Squat - 275
Deadlift - 385
OHP - 125
Bench - 165 (puke i hate bench)
C&J - 155
Snatch - 111
Jerk press - 185
Clean and jerk is getting really clean I just dont focus on it at all, more like an acceossry. My snatch form is terrible though. Working on it though.
Side note:
What kind of shoes are you guys lifting in?
I ordered thesse. Like em good enough! Really wanted the Adipowers though but couldnt justify the cash.

I have a pair of rogue do wins as apparent in my DL vids. Best. Purchase. Ever.
The Rehband knee sleeves are a very close second.
edit: Just read, you're 6'2" and 175? Screw me. I'm 6'2" but 235 lbs. I'd love to be as lean as you but I do not want to lose any strength. Such is the problem with training.2008 335i - n54b30

Keto took me from 185 to 170 and i lost zero muscle mass and its staying off even on a "shitty" diet again aka i eat carbs again but more like Paleo style carbs.

I technically did cyclical keto with carb refeeds from Friday night to Sunday morning. Sorta keeps your sanity but then again, once you get used to keto, it's not difficult at all.
I'd like to start carb cycling eventually with heavy carbs on lower body days, med carbs on upper body days, and no/low carbs on rest days.2008 335i - n54b30
