Hit 605 conventional a few minutes ago with belt & straps, pretty excited about it. Been eyeing that milestone for a while.

Hope everyone's training is going well! In the past I've tried 5x5, Texas Method, Sheiko, Smolov (not for long), 5/3/1, and now just messing around with weekly periodization.

That’s awesome. 605 is massive, congrats!

I’ve been at about 400 for a while now. I’ve mostly been focused on weight loss and have dropped about 40 lbs this year. My squat and bench have been sliding, but thankfully my deadlift has held on.
