    Heyo,

    Background:

    I was on SS for over 7 months (feb. 10), before I switched to TM upon moving to a university (aug. 22). Going to a university has given me access to one of the most well stocked gyms I've ever seen (bumper plate stations and squat racks as far as the eye can see), and since I've had the good fortune of working out there, along with switching to TM, all my lifts have gone up quite well. As of now I'm training for general strength and power, not really specific to any activity.

    Characteristics:

    Age: 20
    Height: 6'0
    Weight: 215
    Favorite lift: varies, but for now a tie between squats and power cleans.
    Strengths: Deadlift
    Weaknesses: Bench, OHP
    Main Goal: getting my 5RM bench, squat, and deadlift up to 2 plate, 3 plate, and 4 plate, respectively.
    Main Goal #2: attaining PC 3x5 at BW

    5RM's at the start of TM

    Squat: 260 x 5
    Bench: 200 x 5
    Deadlift: 355 x 5
    Over-Head Press: 125 x 5
    Power Clean: 155 x 3 x 5

    These are my current 5RM's:

    Squat: 300 x 5
    Bench: 210 x 5
    Deadlift: 391 x 5
    Over-Head Press: 135 x 5
    Power Clean: 182.6 x 3 x 5

    This was a Heavy Volume day (October 31st):

    Low-Bar Back Squat:
    135x5x2
    185x5
    225x3
    255x2
    270x5x5 *[went well]

    OH Press:
    45x5x2
    65x5
    95x3
    105x2
    115x5x5 [got up to work sets but pain in the inside of my elbow (golfers elbow?) told me that it might be a good idea to rest my elbow for this week]

    Deadlift:
    154x5x2
    220X5
    264x3
    330x2
    374x5 (deloading from 391.6x5 as my 391.6x5 seemed like it was taking me too long between each rep)
    [did 374 but it felt harder than I thought it would, might have to consider deloading more]

    weight (in pounds) x rep x set
    *[ ] brackets indicate post work out notes
