JUST missed 305 on bench today. Just couldn’t lock it out. It was a solid attempt though. I should hit it with ease in a couple of months. I’m about to start training for strength and power now that I feel like I have good base.

I pulled 455 on deadlifts today. I came off the floor with speed. Everyone at the gym wanted me to push for 500, but this is the first time I’ve pulled that much in months. I’m happy with where I’m at.

My gym closed for a week for to the Rona, I'm still waiting on my bumper plates I ordered at the end of April to come in from fray fitness. They quoted mid to late June for a delivery.

Seems like you've been making steady progress though. Maybe just take a deload week, then pick back up where you left off. I don't think you need to reset completely. If you're still hitting your reps you can still push it.

I'm using the mini-farmer's walk handles from Titan and used 110# of plates per hand for these. I'm not sure what the handles weigh, but it can't be more than 5-10#. I have these 100 ft. walks programmed into conditioning every 2 weeks, so I'm trying to go up in weight a little each time.
