    Moving here from Intermediate, since I compete - although don't considered myself competitive

    I'm 36yo, 6ft, ~215+lbs. Previously competed at 93kg, but have been gaining weight to fill out my frame more and compete at 105kg. My goal has been to qualify for nationals and I thought that was within reach at 93kg, but at 105 I need to lift a lot more... so we'll see.

    Currently I'm using Jordan's Intermediate/Advanced program. Next competition, in the new weight class, will be at the end of October.

    - Increase to 280/222.5 next time

    P. Squat: 45x8, 135x4, 225x4, 320x4x6
