Quirk - Squat 225, Shoulder Press 140, Deadlift 265-- Total 630
Nice work Mike - Very strong shoulder presses, and LOTS of improvement on keeping your back straight on the Deadlift. Your squat is looking better every time.
Otto - Squat 210, Shoulder Press 110, Deadlift 285 -- Total 605
Otto's deadlift looks amazing. Too bad we could only have 3 attempts!
Stec - 835 PR! - (300 Squat (PR), 180 Shoulder Press (PR!), 355 Deadlift (PR)
Hilton - 460 (155 Squat, 100 Press, 205 Dead) - Hiltons just getting started and learning the technique. Mark my words, these numbers will explode in no time.

4/30/08 - To work on form a bit and get a gauge on how much their weight should be for next time, Mike Q and Chris O did sets of 3. We also did 5 sets instead of 7.
Mike - (sets of 3) 95,125,135,145x1,145
Chris - (sets of 3) 95,95,95,95,95
Jeremy (sets of 1) - 175,215,205,205,205,205,195
Deadlifts, 5 sets of 3.
Quite a few great videos here on deadlifts. Look for the ones on deadlift alignment. Always work to improve your deadlift because thats the start of the olympic lifts. Plus knowing how to lift heavy stuff off the floor can never hurt.
My strategy: Start over 300 and go from there.
4/28/08 - Started at 300, and the following reps looked like this: 310,310,310x2,295. Still working on the back. Also noticed that my grip was starting to be a weak point at this weight. Felt strong, but also felt the back curve a bit. Working on form and back flexibility.

Back Squats
5 sets of 3.
- My weights for this week were 215, 225,235,245 and 255. Not too shabby. I was focusing on my form, but more especially keeping my core tight and looking at the floor 5 feet ahead of me. I've got a BAD habit of looking up when the weight gets heavy. I probably could have done a bit more, especially at the starting side.

Weights were as follows: 115,145,150,150,155, back was feeling rounded towards the last set. Trying to keep the abs tight after Michael the day before was a challenge.
Deadlift, 7 sets of 1.
4/13/08 - 275,305,310,315,320,325,330 - a nice improvement from January 28th on both form and numbers (they were 295, 315,315,315,315). I took video of this to check my form. Look for it on the main page.
