Push press 300, deadlift 600
I've been doing SS since January and decided to make a log here. I'm 6', 220, and 29 years old. 220 is my goal weight and I weighed 195 at the beginning of the year.
Current Work Sets
Squat: 300x5x3
Bench Press: 235x5x3
Press: 162.5x5x3
Deadlift: 345x5
Power Clean: N/A
Goals
1. To finish SS and move onto TM.
2. Hit the 300-400-500 benchmark with a press of 200. To do this, I figure it would take roughly 345x5x3 in the squat, 260x5x3 in the bench, 185x5x3 in the press, and 445x5 in the deadlift.
3. Long-term goal of push pressing 300 and deadlifting 600.
Injuries
1. I injured my left elbow a month or so ago warming up on power cleans. Two weeks ago I tried to power clean again, but it wasn't happening.
2. I tweaked something in my left knee a week and a half ago while squatting. I squatted two days later for 300x5x3 but I felt a little something in my knee again. I'm taking some time off to let my knee recover and then will move to an advanced novice program.
