How can I reach my goals?

[vin01]

Hi.
I need help. I plan to max out on the 'big 3' in 2 1/2 weeks. I don't want to fall short of my goals.

Quick background:
In March, maxes were: bench:255, squat:285, deadlift:365
At this time, I was doing a "body part once a week" split

Since March, I have went from 175 to 190lbs in bodyweight, lifting hardcore using a modified HST routine, and eating monsterously. I'd have to say my gains were 75% muscle. My strength went up immensely (I think): I can now bench 255x3, 275x1, can squat 315x5, and have D/Led 385. (I have stopped training the deadlift as a routine exercise)

I am going to max out again on Sept 14, kind of as a personal achievement type thing.
I set my goals as bench:300, squat:350, d/l:405

Seeing how I have progressed- does anybody feel I have a chance?
Not that I am pessimistic, but realistically, could I do it?

Does anybody have a loading/preparatory workout routine or system that I could follow to make my attempts in 2 1/2 weeks the best they can be? I don't want to continue using HST for this time, I was thinking doing a 3x3...

Any help or advice is welcome!
Thanks for your support! (hopefully)

Nice progress.
If you want an increase in the 'big 3' spend more time on the major compound movements. Have you considered a modified westside routine? Joe Defranco has one he using for athletes looking for weight gain as well.

its basically an upper and lower max effort and instead of speed days do repition days:

i guess your bench is 270 or so by those rep ranges i personally would throw in a few doubles and single reps as close to your pb as poss on the bench to encourage explosive strength increase in shortest space of time followed by a couple of higher rep sets to finish, giving the benefits of both rep ranges. i think you will be surprised just how easy you will increase your strength by using these . always apply good form and never lift heavy without a spotter.300 is there for the taking ,so go get it.
