From Jan 08 to Sept 08 (8 months), my SP went from 155 to 160. In the last 4 months, it went from 160 to 175. Feels pretty awesome.

I also think I hurt myself on the deadlift. My previous PR was around 385. I felt pretty good with that lift so I loaded up the 405. I really strained to lift it but the lift was good. I think the lowering got me though. Once the weight was on the ground my left claviculosternal joint and right AC joint/shoulder really began to ache. I guess we'll see how the morning feels:)

I hate maxing...very pointless. Totally non-functional; seems purely for bragging rights or official competition-of which I need neither.
Al, I disagree. Max rep gives you the number by which to adjust your workouts and goals. If the workout calls for 75% 1RM, how do you know where to set the weight?
Nicely done on you press.
That's strong work fellas. Nicely done.
My thoughts: 1RM lifts teach your body to exert massive amounts of power for short periods. Useful for all sorts of things; picking up boxes, lifting things between shelves, or panic-type situations where you need to move explosively. Plus, it throws a variety into the workout to keep you guessing; can't do Murph every day!
very true, I was a bit judgmental with my thought. Just not my favorite anymore. I lost interest chasing high numbers a year or so back after failing to every obtain my 300lb bench.
