I wonder what your top single would be now.
Thank you, Wilhelm. I wonder too, but haven't done much singles like that. Hopefully 130+ kg. I'm starting the Bridge 3 next week, and there will be some singles @8 in that program which might give a better indication of what a top single might be.

Finally hit the 405 lb squat today, and it wasn't a grinder! I rated it @9 (I'm at about 190 lb body weight). My three year (heavy) lifting anniversary is this August. Reasonable progress. Many got there much faster than I, but I got there nonetheless :)

@KarlM, a 4-plate squat is a big deal!

Work has been hectic recently. So I popped in today and earned a new 10RM on the snatch grip deadlift.

445x10. Yes indeedy.

(And realized as soon as I was done that Despite setting up my phone at the perfect angle, I forgot to hit the record button)

Thanks @oldguy. In addition to weighing under 200, I live in California, therefore, fake plates!

Thanks @Chebass88! And 445 X 10 is massive. Was there any nasua involved?

Thanks! No nausea - just the fun of unloading all the plates after a deadlift...

360x1 @6 tonight. Technically a 10 pound Pr. But even cooler was 3 min later:

315x8@8. In November I could barely do 315 for 1. 325 was @10 all out grind.

I almost feel kinda strong for the first time ever. Thanks @Hanley . Came for the bench gains, staying for the 500 lb squat 👍
