Four weeks ago I pulled 700 in the gym. I ripped a callus in my palm, bit a hole through my lip, and busted capillaries in my nose. There was blood everywhere. It was the coolest shit I've seen in a long time. Since then I no longer want to be a powerlifter.

Friday was 455 x 2 x 6 (two sets of six). Best 1RM equipped is 745 (in the gym), 695 in a contest which felt easy for a 2nd attempt...750 third was red-lighted for depth. It felt light but I just didn't go down far enough.

I knew that was coming...we all have our crosses to bare. That's always been a shitty lift for me but since you asked...
Best ever raw is 400 - best ever shirted is 400. Go figure. With a 400 raw bench I should be sitting at 5+ bills for a shirted bench. However, since I travel a lot getting any time in a shirt is tough...but I'm starting to bitch and whine.
Yesterday, I went 315 x 5, 335 x 5, 355 x 5. Inclines went up to 315 x 4. Flat DBs up to 125 x 6. I'd love to bench a heck of a lot more but, for my ego, this is good.

my best bench was 405 with a pull at the sticking point. so i suppose in essence i didnt actually do it. poop 
that was in december. otherwise, recently i hit 365 for 4 reps with no help.
squats, i'll be lucky if i can do 225. my legs suck. this year i'm focusing primarily on my legs though. i have a pic from my vacation in january that i posted on my myspace. i look ridiculous, its embarassing. my friends call me Johnny Bravo i'm so top heavy.

For the last ten years it's been:
Monday: Squat
Wednesday: Bench
Friday: Deadlift
Saturday: Bench and arms
I never did any 'accessory' exercises other than bis. All I cared about was the 1RM.
Now I'm fucking around with a new routine with Wylie's help. See http://www.muscle-unlimited.com/forum/showthread.php?t=254 for more info. I'm going to do my first show this year and now I'm lifting alone...in a gym but with no training partner. I'm excited about the change. So...I guess the answer to your question is 'What Wylie Said'. Hahaha.
Read the info at the link posted above and talk to Wylie...the dude really knows his shit.

I've been training with these two dudes for three years. I just grew tired of not being able to do what I wanted to do. Everything was geared towards the 1RM and breaking more records. That seriously takes a toll on your body after a few years. Ask Freaky, I didn't lift for months last year trying to rehab a knee, a hip, and a quad all on the left side. That's how it is for 30 weeks a year if you only do two meets. Powerlifters are my people but it's time for a break.

Def. hard to get a decent training partner (in Maine at least). I like to workout for an hour solid, no long breaks in between...work up a sweat, smell, grunt, etc. It's hard to find someone that will really push themselves (and me) to make some gains. One guy I just started lifting with has some potential..well see.
