re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

8 week Progress so far.. working sets (3x5)

- bench 190 -> 235
- squat 225 -> 350
- press 100 -> 132.5
- Deadlift 295 -> 405

Prior to start of this, I switched to a trap DL (DL #s went up quick , easier than traditional barbell. I am not using handles, so exercising full range of motion.
Also switched to SSB. This temporality made my numbers drop 20% from straight bar.
Also switched to cambered/neutral grip for pressing. This caused to drop about 20-30% from my straight bar press.

This is the most I have benched in terms of working sets ever (previous 1 rm max from the last millennium was 225). squat and DL are on par with what I was doing in HS as well.

Prior to this, I have been doing 531 for about 3 years and worked a lot of sub max volume.. so this is fun seeing how much I can grind out.

I’ve given up on challenges and t dropping bf right now. Just want to squeeze out what I can in terms of strength and then refocus on recomp goals.

Going to focus on trying to get press’s to working set of 150 and bench to 250 - 260 over next 10 weeks, then jump onto something else (PPSA or back on 531).
