Seeing as Bodybuilding.com forums are dead I want to start logging here. Starting lifting in 2009. Continued for 4 years until life got crazy and I took roughly 3.5 years off. During that time I was able to post a 1399.9 total @ 176 with much better gym lifts. I have now been lifting for around a year but only focused on getting strong for the last 2 months. I would like to apologize for the click-baity title but that is truly my goal over the next 2 years. I want to pull 700 @ 181. Enough talking, here's my recent sessions.
No straps on last set. I'm going to continue with straps; however I will be incorporating some grip training. Without straps I would rip my hands greatly reducing the amount of volume.

Now I have two consecutive rest days before transitioning from 4x to 3x a week. This second block drops off 2 secondary movements to allow for more volume on my primary lifts. With how everything has felt this block(excellent) I'm looking for similar numbers on test day:
