Results from my half assed 5x5 workout

[ErnieScar]

It seemed to work pretty good for me. I couldn't go for my maxes due to lack or quality spotters at my gym but here's my 5 rep max.

Squat 325--385
Dead 315--375
bench 275--315
MP 225--245
rows 205--230

Also trained 3-5 times a week in MMA and some cadio.

BW stayed about the same at 255ish

Impressive, especially squat. Nice work.

Nice. Scary to think what would've happened you'd gone full assed

Very good results. I'd say your dead needs the most work. It doesn't really compare to your other lifts.

Very good results. I'd say your dead needs the most work. It doesn't really compare to your other lifts.

really? it already looks impressive.
The rows look like the weak point, i rowed 225 just now but I'm nowhere near any of his pre-5x5 numbers.

It certainly is a good deadlift -- a number guys with a 385 squat and 315 bench are pulling 455+ though. It could depend on his body structure and where his leverage attachments are and whatnot.

I personally have very good leverage attachments for deadlifting -- short legs and long arms. When it comes to squatting though, having short legs and a really long torso doesn't help me much -- of course that is no excuse for me to pussy out from squatting.

Yes I know my DL isn't my reatest lift but I'm always worried to go to heavy on it due to an old lower back injury from deadlifting. Plus I don't think I got the greatest of form either.
