Lifting Progress July 20

• Low bar back squat: 200
• High bar back squat: 190
• Deadlift: 210
• Strict press: 70
• Bench: 95
• Clean: 115
• Snatch: 80
• Strict pullups: 6

Just re-tested after a three-month training program. I have the most room for improvement on my deadlift and strict press. These are both movements that require lower back strength, and according to my trainer my lower back is “wobbly.” I guess I’ll work on that?

My workouts are focused on powerlifting rather than olympic lifts, hence my crappy oly numbers. While I enjoy cleans and snatches (ok, fine, I enjoy cleans. Snatches are horrible), they require way more mental strength than straight lifting. I know that’s what many people like about them, but for me it’s a negative. No thinking at the gym!
