Also it kills me that I had a video of me deadlifting 335x5 at a bw of 175lbs back in high school.

Also this vid of 315x5 ATG squats on 19 Nov 2012

I was 195lbs that day. I found my log post in here:

(week 11, monday)

How the fuck has my squat not improved in 2 years... this shit kills me
stuff just keeps popping up. getting sick, injuries, vacation, ramadan, no gym, finals week over and over...


checked back in my logs. after i did that, i took like 3 weeks off from lifting for some reason, and my squat plummeted to 275x5
then i slowly worked it back up, squatting 1x a week, and on 19 Oct 2013 i tied my ATG 315x5 PR.
then that's when i started stalling, and somehow my squat dropped to 295x5 or so, and then i hit that rough patch of no sex drive, and my lifts stalled for 6 months or so

what were you eating / how much sleep did you get when you were strongest?

at peak i was sleeping most of the time. got tired of too much sleep. can't even daily a 200kg now. i used to call it a weak day when i put 440 instead of 455.

creatine is not instant. takes weeks to bloat from it. add caffeine too. thats all u can do without juicing.

Comfortably 36!!!
You have gone a long way, well deserved and absolutely gained too...

thanks vag and chris (and the other people who upvoted that post)! and yeah, hit near base of palm on one jump without the ball and had a couple of very good dodgeball dunks. base of palm is 37.

good stuff. keep at it.

do rim pullups while you're at it. don't fall.

* silly injury at home. leg got numb from sitting down, stood up and tripped on my right foot thumb because it stayed on the floor and did not lift up with my foot. twisted ankle a little. had to take advil just to be able to walk without looking like im broken. i already walk funny because of the DOMS from the high rep 315s.
* no problem with the 405. hurts a lot when i plantar flex. dorsi flexing on squat is tolerable.

Have you lost weight? Because your lifts are going down. I know you love that daily thing, you also stated that you get detrained if you drop it and finally it is your own personal special 'myth', but maybe you could consider going more traditional, like, with... uhm... rest days?
Just saying

lifts are 365-405 max because i cycle recovery weeks after volumes of jump squats. i can still get 405+ but would rather wait longer until the 405 feels feather light on my back. i did 475 paused within the last 2 months. its not that bad.
