Squattus Maximus
I tested my max squat today, with good results. My squat jumped from 355 to 385. I should have tried 390, but instead I went for 400 and missed. I am really happy with that jump.
BTW, I have added 110 pounds to my squat max in 4 months. Not bad for a 40 year old who hasn’t lifted in 10 years.
Last month I designed a strength program - a 32 day cycle - and was hoping to see gains of 20-25 pounds combined each cycle for all three lifts. I have already crushed that goal with 2 lifts to go this week.
On Wednesday I will try to beat my best bench of 275, and on Friday I will try to break my deadlift PR of 415. I haven’t tested my deadlift max in 2 months, so I am hoping to hit 450.

Way to go FDaddy. You’re killing it. It’s great to see you reaching and destroying your goals. Your hard work is paying off. Keep it up.
