I'll get there, one day... diet's s
t at the moment though.
I've got decent genetics, just need to make the most of them.
Seeing some of the younger lads in the gym on their cycles does make me contemplate it but I want to stay natural.
I'm always stuck between putting on weight and going for pure strength/hypertrophy and getting better condition and leaner. I never feel decided on what I want - unless I start cycling and then I can build mass and stay relatively lean.
Oh well, doing 5/3/1 now and will eat at maintenance or there abouts.

tty genetics (if you buy into the wrist/ankle measurement thing for max natural potential - 6.5" wrists, 8" anlkes!), but will never never ever mess with steroids or prohormones. It really is not worth it in my opinion.
3 rep PBs this year...
DL 225kg
Squat 200kg
Bench 130kg
Total= 555kg for 3 rep maxes
I've cut some weight since then, and I'm not as strong atm so working back up, 12kg lighter. (81kg atm, compared to 93kg bw for those lifts)
ETA: About the same time I hit those 3 rep maxes, my 10 rep maxes hit a total of 470kg
Infact it was a change to 10 rep work that saw my strength take a bit of a jump up.

Identical to me. I want everything at once. I don't think I could ever be a pure bodybuilder though as the workouts don't interest me but I do want to look as good as possible... I'll get there, one day... diet's s

I've begun carb cycling because my weekends are all over the shop; I've been at home two weekends in the last 9.

475kg for me at 85kg
125 bench, 200 deadlift and 150 squat.
That is a very good bench relative to the other two. 125 bench, 200 deadlift and 150 squat.
For my deadlift my bench is 30kg below where it should be. :-(
this thread doesnt appear to have gone anywhere but slight update on how I am getting on.
before 86kg BW
135kg DL
130kg Squat
120kg Bench (This was wrong, done on a smith machine, actual was 100kg)
now 8 weeks later 89kg BW
155kg DL
150Kg Squat
117.5kg Bench
really flipping proud of this acheivement, all ive changed is getting a decent all in one protein and really pushing the training till i want to vomit
In that time due to a change in technique and improving strenght ive got my over head press from 55kg to 75kg for 1 rep.
also keeping it on topic means i now have a total of 422.5kg or 929.5lbs so getting much closer! pushing to get there for xmas

Great work and nice bump. 
Seriously impressive gains.
I'm two months in and still a long way off but progressing slowly.
Calculated 1RM based on current 5x5 lifts:
Deadlift 145kg
Squat 120kg
Bench press 82kg
Total: 347kg (760lb)
(76%)
