After the suggestion of you and a few others, I started working the Starting Strength Program..
For instance yesterday I was able to do my last set of deadlifts at 235.
Doesn't sound like much but when I started the program I could barely deadlift 170.
I'm seeing similar gains in all my lifts.

I'm moving in a few weeks and I'm considering Wendler's since I'll be losing my workout partner. What I really like about it is that because you're basing your sets as a percentage of 90% of your max it allows for one to have a safer independent workout. I really hate asking for a spotter and so hopefully I'd only need to get one for the last set on bench to let me push myself.

The past three weeks I have been trying the Wendler's workout for deadlifts and shoulder presses. Thus far, everything feels way too light, but I do like testing myself on the final set.

I suspect that the workout gets much more challenging after about 4-6 months.
