That's awesome work on the deadlift.
I would love to break 400lbs on the deadlift, I just hope to remain injury free and see what I can achieve.

Thank you, I think all the lifts are all interrelated. This (180kg Deadlift) used to be my 1-RM on really really good day, I still remember getting light-headed after I grind really hard on this lift just for one rep for showmanship in the gym. At that point, my squat was around 110kg and bench around 75kg.

Now I squat 132,5kg, and bench 90kg, I think I might be able to pull 205kg or 210kg for one rep on really good day.
But the point is, I would try to also get strong overall by improving my other lifts (such as: squats, press, and bench press) to improve my Deadlift.
I guess you are on the right track, sir.

I agree also with remaining injury free. Coincidentally, this was also my first time getting injured while strength training; it was really sucks, I can't even squat my body-weight without pain on my ankle. I think I pushed too much that day, and ignored my instinct to take it slowly.

Anyway, thanks for support, I wish you the best with that 400.

BW: 81.5kg

Press 3x5x60kg(PR)

Comments:

I got sick, but it was not an excuse to skip training; because I still can get out of bed.
By the way, it took approximately 50 minutes to complete this sets of Press.
I was glad it was a PR.
I didn't take any video, as I used the phone for loud music.

I didn't do anything else, because I lacked energy by this point.

Good news, I can finally squat with minimal pain on my ankle; it was getting better after 3 weeks of no squatting.
My plan is to restart the weights back to 90kg, because I need to relearn the movement again.
Then, once I fail at certain weights multiple times, I may need to introduce light squat day (similar to advanced novice program), and only squat heavy twice a week.

I think I learnt my lesson, in which I pushed too hard at around 130kg progression on squat,
as for now I do think light squat day at around 130kg progression, might be helpful to avoid pushing too far, and to prevent getting injured.

On today's workout, I did focus a lot on my Deadlift.
I have been wanting to avenge my lack of progress in Squat, with over 400lbs Deadlift, which I got today at 407lbs.
I felt satisfied with my performance, I gave all my energy and focus for this 5 reps.
For the next, since I finally got this 400 Deads; I will return my focus back to Squats.

Bench was bad, I have low energy after Deadlift.

Squat is on 5kg progression. I'll be squatting 130kg again in few weeks.
Forms felt weird today, I guess I have to keep videotaping it.

As for bench, my forms felt wrong as well. My forearms was really sore after each set.

Chins was strong today, and progressing well.

Comments:

I just bought a powerlifting belt with 13mm thickness and 4 inches wide, hoping that it will help my squat to go 3 plates fast.
First workout with it turned out to be really bad, the belt was painful to wear, caused bruises on my stomach, and ruined the overall workout.

Squat was bad, bench was bad, press was bad, and so did chins.
I felt sore on my left biceps during bench press warm-ups, hence I switch to Press.

I started to feel more comfortable wearing a belt.
I think my Press and Bench is stalling, but I will keep going for now.
Deadlift seems to stall too.
