Some nice numbers, Suston. How old are you anyway man? What's your current routine going for? Size or strength? A bit of both? It seems pretty basic with a pyramid-style rep scheme, or whatever you want to call it. Well...with some exercises at least haha.

 

[Lord_Suston]

I am currently 24.
Training methods is going for Strength and a little size since i am trying to stay under 200lbs for competition.
I do mostly 5x5 except on back day since it has been modified for competition events.
Also I do event on Sundays if time and school permit it

Incline Bench 5x5 with 255. First 3 sets were easy last two were pretty hard-up 5lbs
Flat bench 2x8 with 260. need help on lockout for last two reps on last set, the bar just flies up and hits a wall-up 5 lbs
Decline 2x8 with 225. up 10lbs-didn't like the feel on my shoulders today
Overhead db ext 3x8 with 95lbs. Easy and smooth-up 10lbs
Pause Bench press Spped 3x6 with 135- try for speed off of chest and strong lockout

Felt real flat today, everything felt heavy even though I could lift it. Too many nights studying and waking up early, I wish I could just eat and sleep all day with some training
