Awesome. Is that with straps? Belt? Eitherway that's a great weight. I haven't tried a PB for a while in DLs because I really need straps now 210 comes up easily enough it's my grip that's starting to fail me rather than strength.
Obviously the hard work is helping!!
What's your squat and bench at now? What do you weigh?
I've decided just to jot down my weight every week. All increases will be muscle mass as I'm carefully counting calories and making sure I don't put on too much fat as I bulk up further. A picture will be forthcoming April the first as I'm off on holiday then and want to be ready.

straps no belt, i can do 205 without straps but i see no point in going for 1RM RAW when my grip will clearly fail at a submaximal level.
dead/squat/bench now 220/160/130
so thats 510 ha nice
damn you
Hay the way I see it pushing is pushing and lifting is lifting regardless of it being on a machine or free weights, But lifting free weights is more beneficial I know.

If I email you my email address and you reply with an address I'll post you a descent spare pair of straps if you like Freefaller it'll save you a couple of quid? There just sitting there not getting used if you wanna give them a good home.

tank you know of any long straps? mine have like a dowel in that makes them great on std diameter bars but they are becoming a pain on my oly kit. Watching vids of the pro's they have ones that loop several times around the bars. What make are yours and how long is the strap bit?
That's really kind of you mate!
I'll have to buy you a pint some time - shame you live a billion miles from me though 
Well not THAT far... but if you're up for the offer, then I'll take you up on it. Yeah but not 15kg+ worth? I'm around 13 I reckon.

You haven't configured yours so you can't see mine - I've sent you an email to your registered email address.
