Sick of working with 407.5, so I decided to increase the weight. Might have been able to get the fifth set, but my hamstrings were really sore.

Great work on your last bench day and these squats. I see your bodyweight is back up as well.

Do you still have a meet sometime this fall?

I'm tempted to try 410 next week, just to keep things interesting...

Thanks. Have not changed anything with my diet, so I do not really know why my weight has shot up a bit. The meet was supposed to be October 27th, but by the time I sent in my application it was already full. There should be another one in December.

Beastly. Your volume weight is my intensity weight.

Holy. Fuk.

That is beyond impressive.

All of his lifts are beyond impressive.

All of his lifts are beyond impressive.

Pretty much.

It's amazing what consistency and dedication can do

It's amazing to see the improvement since your first post in this log. Awesome lifts! I'll be starting Texas Method again in a couple of weeks.

As somebody who was in on the first page (over 4 years ago...holy crap!), I can attest to this. Massive progression is massive.

[GinjaNinja85]

Those squats are so solid. That's exactly how I wanna squat. It looked like you had more too

[xRequiem]

dude, you're killing it

[JiP]

Damn those were fast!

Thanks so much to all of you. It is crazy that this journal is just over four years old now, but it is even crazier that you brought that up. Exactly five years ago is when I had my first Starting Strength workout, as a 115 lb 15 year old.

Wow, you got an early start. That's awesome. Kinda jealous, accomplishing all this by 20. Scary to think what just the next 10 years will bring.

You had that 460 for 5.

[jshaw5]

Damn man, those squats are so deep and strong. You should have a 5 plate squat in you easy. As everyone else said, amazing progress, just shows that hard work and consistency really pay off.

We need to make you a poster child of some kind, or something.

Really impressive progress. I don't sub to anyone's journal anymore, but I'll be visiting this one on a daily basis.

Great squatting. You made that look easy.

Thanks a lot. There is no secret to any of the success that I have had; just drink a lot of milk and take it week by week, even workout by workout. I am pretty sure I could squat 500+ right now, especially since I squatted 485 at the end of July. I really want to get my bench above 300, though!

There is a secret.

It's consistency over the long haul. THAT is what noobs (and all of us) need to get hammered into their heads.

Diet, routine, and rest. Consistently. For the long haul.

THAT'S what gets you places.

Yessir.

And yes, you have 500 easy. My stretch goal for the end of the year is 455x3 which I think is about what I will need to hit 500, with as easy as you had that 460x3, you've got 500 without a doubt.......keep going!

Those aren't secrets, just common sense. But most people don't realize how easy it is to do all of those things.
