200 lb Press

I'm getting close. Here's a training log to document my struggle.

Front Squat
135 x 2, 3, 5, 8
165 x 5, 5, 5

Press
120 x 4, 4, 4, 4

I've been lifting on & off since 2012. I'll never be the strongest guy in the forums; my goals are: 1.) Keep getting gradually stronger; 2.) Not be injured; 3.) Enjoy the process.

I'm starting this log because it's lame to be an E&P battler and not make any training contributions to this site.

Udz, get some!!!!!!
I'm in the same spot. Need to buckle down and press 200 before the end of the year.

First back squats in a good while. I did 415 a few years back. I would guess somewhere 370-385 would be my max right now.
