no, that's not a typo. my current bench 1rm is 93% of my back squat max. this makes no sense. i don't train the bench press more than once a month and have been focusing on the back squat exclusively for at least 6 mo. deadlift has always been a problem and i'm not too surprised it was down a little after doing the other two lifts. i have put less emphasis on it lately. plus, i haven't been feeling 100% the last few days so that could have something to do with it as well. my minimum goal for these 3 lifts would be to have a 315 or better squat, a 255 or better bench, and maintain a 365 or better dead. looks like it's back to the basics when it comes to strength training. i've never been a fan of 5 x 5 or 3 x 3 but maybe i'm going to need to take some regular doses of what everyone says works. i'll still be mixing in some of my own heavy for time creations just to keep things interesting, but i've got to test some other methods.
