Monday, I pulled 275 for 5. I'm 5'8", 175lbs, 22 years of age.

The set consisted of, after 4 light warmup sets: 190, 210, 230, 250, then 275. All for 5 reps. Used straps on the last set as my grip failed repeatedly when I got the bar to my knees.

Working on slowly gaining weight, getting up to 180lbs.

Right now using a twice-a-week lifting split, like always. Monday is my 5x5 day, Thursday my 4x8. Workouts consist of three lower body lifts, two upper body, two abs (weighted), and then a 10 minute complex set of moderate-to-high-rep auxilliary work. Workouts last about 75 minutes, from dynamic warmups to static stretching cooldowns.

Also, doing 12 hours a week pure karate work, more when I can get to class.

Life is good.
