Tested all my maxes this week after running the cube for 10 weeks. I started this with my 1 rep maxes pretty conservative for the fact that i haven't deadlifts and squatted consistently in a long time before starting this. Here's my max on each before the cube

squat 425
dead 495
bench 445

after the cube.

Squat 500
dead 545
bench 480

1525 total. Very happy with that cus like i said i haven't squatted or dead lifted consistently in years.

I must say that if i planned my attempts better i would have had at least 490 on bench and 10 to 15 lbs more on squat and dead but this was the first time I've ever followed a PLing program so I'm learning as i go.

Can't wait to start this next cycle cus now there's gonna be some good ol heavy liftingand II'll be busting my ass.

1600 total is my goal by the new year

highly recommend this program for everyone. I've gotten bigger and stronger and only taking a tiny dose of test. Weighed myself after the workout today and was 232.

And yes I know it's sad that my bench is 20 lbs less than my squat. Lol

That is a big god damn bench. Is it with a pause or just right off the chest after touching?

DYS that's seriously all I was thinking about today. Lol i actually had 485 on the bar for my last attempt just to get higher than my bench but then said **** it and threw 500 on there. Lol

pob it was with a pause. Might not have been long enough in a competition but i did pause. I've seen plenty of videos of guys getting white lights with shorter pauses than I did. Lol.

pause is a pause brother. Well done. Wish I could press like that

That's a VERY strong bench brother. now you're hitting numbers the way they should be by squatting and pulling more than you bench, you freak lol. awesome job dude. I've ran the cube also and it works awesome. Unfortunately, I have a major problem with getting bored with programs quickly. I need to get back on it myself.

Ummm u will very soon. I know I've always been a strong presser since I was 14. You on the other hand are just getting into your pressing and already have a 405 competition bench. So shush hahahaha

DAFUK? Jesus that is a hell of an improvement. That is one heck of a bench press man. And no not really man. There are not many dudes with that strong of a bench press. Its not your squat it is that you are a damn animal on the bench.

Stronger than me that is for sure. Way stronger. Dude keep it up.

Me!!! Haha shit if i had a normal bench my total would be like 1350 or so. That's terrible. I know my deads and squat needs work but still ain't bad for my first run with a PLing program.

You pussy lol nice work bro. I've finally been back in the gym this week since I got hurt at work. I went that one time before but I don't count it. I'm weak as a 7 yr old Girl Scout.

You need to post new vids of your beasty ass doing close grips lol I think these guys would shit if they saw the weight you put up working those sexy tri's of yours.
