Hey guys. Started Rippetoe's around the 1st of January. I started at 330 trying to lose weight and I am down to about 299. I have seen some great gains so far.
Squat - 155 to 225 (3x5) (I think this huge gain has to do more with flexibilty and form than actual strength.
Deadlift - 225 to 305 (1x5) (Once again I think this has to do more with form)
Bench - 135 to 155 (3x5)
Power Cleans 135 to 145 (5x3)
Standing Military 90 to 110 (3x5)

Just realized my Power Clean on my sig is wrong. I'll have to change that.

I want to get a little extra Forearm and Trap work in, does anyone have any recommended lifts, or should I just stick with the basic program?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Farmers walks might be useful, but honestly, I wouldn't worry about niggling details like that till later. Just keep riding the wave until it stops, then re-evaluate.Originally Posted by DwightKSchrute
