Everyone is doing really well, but that has to be one of if not the highest strength pound for pound?

Nice work mate! We weigh roughly the same but I think I'd have to put on a fair bit of weight to put 20kg on my squat and deadlift! I need to try harder clearly!Few updates from me:

Today was my third day of returning to my old routine to compare SP250 to V-max pump.
Thought I'd go mega heavy to warm up and aim for a 1RM. My PB having been 140KG (on a smith as we have no squat rack). It was rather uncomfortable from what I remember and I didn't feel very safe or happy with it.
I've been using a 5x5 for a few weeks and over x-mas was doing it every 3-4 days and finished on 122.5KG.
Gym was nice and empty when I got there however I couldn't warm up quick enough as I was feeling quite confident!
All below parralell.
Bar x 5
60KG x 5
80KG x 4
100KG x 4
110KG 2
120KG x 1
130KG x 1
135KG x 1
140KG x 1
Feeling good so far, heavy but not insanely difficult and no stall. My core is much much stronger than before, as is my form and use of the correct muscles.
142.5KG x 1PB
145KG x 1 PB
147.5KG x 1 PB
150KG x 1 PB
Stopped there as I had a leg workout to do. Made 100KG feel dead light!
The rep felt comfortable and there was no stall, however it did slow in the middle and my glutes felt like they were about to burst clean out of my buttocks and eyes out of my head simultaneously!
That was my target for the year so looks like I'll be aiming higher. I'm also down 2-3 kilos with a bodyweight of 87KG. Feels good to be making some progress! Bench is next on the list!
FF if you could update my totals please and boost me up as appropriate
Edit: Chasing PAz. How's the knee coming along?
You just want them to eat more so it makes their lifts seem less impressive per kg of bodyweight!
I may get my competing mate to have go. I had to spot him the other day on a chest session and he managed 8 x 150KG (2 x 75KG dumbells) without assistance and was super isloated ( had his feet together up on the bench).
Off topic did anyone watch the WSM? Mariusz et al one-arm shoulder pressing 95KG!?! Monsters!!

darkshadow, you should look at competing. Depending on your age you could win british champs and even set some records.
What sort of numbers are those guys putting out mate?
