Did a bunch of reading and such and decided since my knees, hips and back feel like poo doing Candito that I'm not going to force the issue and end up injuring myself. So started 5/3/1 Monday using my 1rm from candito. I must say I've gotten alot stronger so may have to do a quick retest of the bench, ohp, squat, dead to have better numbers. Granted it's not perfect for beginners since we generally gain fast than the program but still it's a marathon not a sprint so I'm gonna give her hell
I thought you were heavier than that by a good bit. Your bench numbers are monstrous for that BW.
Thanks! It's my best lift, probably because I don't need my back as much for it.
I compete at 205 with a 2 hour weigh in

Matt have you read or do you own any of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 books? I think I need to pick one up to fully grasp the program. Also I think I'll have to use this week as a gauge and maybe retest 1RM on the bench, ohp, dead, squat as my last am rap set has been like 15+ reps at 85% of my 90% of the 1rm. Not sure if that's normal.
And squats sucked today holy poop. Worked up to a 175 for an amrap set. Got 11 and decided I hate life. Most I'd done prior was 8. May have had a few left but really didn't want form to get sloppy so I stopped
