    Journey to be stronger than yesterday

    I started back in the gym about four months ago after suffering mentally during the pandemic and doing minimal exercise for about four years. I previously played soccer but am now too fat and old to play competitively. I will now focus on strength training to compete in natural powerlifting and strongman in the future.

    I have just started doing Westside Barbell training after 5/3/1 for a few months.

    Height: 191cm/6'3
    Weight: 271lb/123kg

    Personal bests

    Deadlift: 250kg/551lb equipped, 230kg/507lb raw
    Overhead: 100kg/220 x 2
    Bench: 130kg/286lb
    Squat:180kg/396lb

    I did some block pulls yesterday, and they are not much better than off the floor. I did 230kg/507lb. I'm hoping to break my record by the end of the year at 260kg/573lb

    I tried some block pulls in my deadlift suit and managed 240kg. I needed to buy some thinner plates as I could not fit any more weight on the bar, but 250kg would be hitched anyway.
