Thanks again Oliver... Ok, SO SORRY for late, LATE reply Oliver.! Didn't Forrest Gump say something like 'Life is like a box of chocolates....'.? But, seriously.....

300lb Military Press...FANTASTIC.! 300lb's approx. = 135kg's (approx.) To be fair to all, Grant Clemesha certainly WASN'T your 'average' athlete.

Projections etc... The 5 x 5 on 240kg SHOULD be good-enough to close-out your final week of 5 repetitions (for a max. lift of 300kg's, all-things-being-equal....i.e. injury-free training etc.). HOWEVER, as previous, this program is COMPLETELY OPEN to adjustment re : personal strengths/goals...- arcoe960
