90 for 6 sets of 5 today. 7 Week after doing 95 for 1 in comp. Felt pretty easy so next week i'll probably make the jump to 95 for 6 sets of 5.

Impressive, got any tips on how you progressed?
I was like you back in June this year but starting to struggle and stall around the 80kg-90kg mark now :-( shits me coz everything else is powering along.
I stopped benching for about a month and did everything with dumbbells. For some reason that seemed to help me along. I was stuck on 95kg for about 4-5 weeks and just tried different things.

Thanks, yeah I started on a new routine today using only DB for chest 5x5. Going to see if that helps.

After doing nothing but fuckarounditis for deadlifts over the last few weeks and often feeling like anything over 100kg is too much, today I hit 150kg for the first time. It was slow coming off the floor, but by the time I reached the top, I realised I probably could have gotten 155kg or more. I'm almost always good for lockout on deadlifts -- if the bar comes off the floor, I'm probably going to get the rep. Caught it on video, but it wasn't my camera, so we'll have to wait and see if/when it gets uploaded.
Squat way below parallel (as always) @ 127.5
And 130 is definitely within reach right now.
I know, it's not a massive lift by any means, but I've been doing this shit for less than one year, and for some reason, 140kg seems really important, lol. 3 plates, bro! Maybe I can hit that before the end of the year. That's the goal, anyway.

Ooh, the heat is on.Good one ryan, we're neck and neck
Here's the video for yesterday's deadlift. It's low quality, but that's okay. It's a 20kg bar + 2x20's, 2x10's (1 big green 10 and one small black 10) and 1x5kg on each side.

120kg Bench press tonight (for 1 rep) (touched chest, but no pause) .. failed the first attempt (chickened out without a spotter and didn't go low enough, made the second attempt cleanly and then made one more, although with a pretty massive grind to get it up!
