Lifting stats?

I havent maxed in awhile and i just took a vid of me squating, i was doing half squats for a year.. **** lol

But here is some stats:

Bench: 1RM 200 lbs (August) 140x12 for 2 sets
Squat: 70x15 for 2 sets (Fixed form going ATG now, not Half squat anymore)
Deadlift: 1 RM 315 (Dont deadlift anymore i do Stiff legged deadlifts now)
Stiff Legged Deadlift: 120x 15 for 3 sets
Barbell Row: 135x12 for 2 sets

Thats Some stats for yeah. My squat sucks cause i was doing them wrong for a year...now i gotta start them all over. But going ATG was alot better burn then doing half squats!

Today was the first day doing PHAT and it was great. I lost some strength not much from the cut. But i haven't lifted heavy in a long time, i been staying in the 10-15 rep range. But for my mains lifts i got bench 165x5,3,4. Im use to doing 10-12 reps for bench lol, big change from 140-165 i probably shouldn't of made that big jump the first day but i did. And for BB Rows i did 145x5,5,5 and i can go up in weight wasn't that hard.

Big difference between strength and hypertrophy! Also i didnt get that real good pump feeling you would get with high reps. Is that normal?

[Jmadden44]

Yes. When I ran PHAT I never got a pump on strength days. Much different feeling doing strength work.
