*Did some ab crunches as well as 20 minutes on the treadmill. All in all, it was a good workout. My diet is really shaping up and my body is starting to get a lot leaner which is what I'm going for right now. I'd love to be around 173 ideally. Right now I weigh 179.8 lbs.
242 squat beltless, 320 DL with straps(so I guess 300 lol, that was my last PR w/0 straps) and belt, and a 192 bench.
I'm hoping that bench will be 200lbs next week though.
My goals are almost the same as yours, except I want to get fatter.

Perfect. We're on then. Should be good motivation.
GSP, I gotta say your progress has been real solid, and you certainly work your butt off! Hats of to you man, I love following your log as well. Good luck on all your goals man.
Ill give all my credits to whoever hits 1000 first. (I dont really know what they do...)

That's fine with me. Your deadlift is ******* rock solid and way ahead of me. I'd say you have a huge advantage going forward but let's do it! I'm up for a good challenge!

Thanks, bro. I appreciate it a lot. Trying to as best as I can, everything seems to be coming along slowly but exactly the way I want it to. Hopefully the hard work does pay off.
Keep up with the upkeep on your log, too. I follow it regularly and love reading the oly' lifts. A lot of the olympic style lifts are new to me.
