Fun times! I'm going to make an old style graph to put in here soon.
Opted to do a CFT-style test of my 1RM in the five different lifts I've been focusing on. If we consider this a strict CFT challenge then technically I totally failed on bench (three failed attempts) but then got the fourth one to stick after the deadlifts. Overall, I feel like this is a general success, particularly since I hit a new PR on every lift!
Compared to about 2.5 months ago, I increased about 40lbs on the squat, 5 lbs on the bench, and almost 40lbs on the deadlift. I haven't done a 1RM for shoulder press in a very long time, maybe 5 years in fact, but it looks like I've gone up about 15lbs from then. First time doing a 1RM for power cleans, so it's an automatic PR.

Wow, nice job, that's a lot of work in one day...
Thanks! I'm pretty stoked for the gains I saw. To be honest, it kind of freaks me out every time I get under the bar now. I'm considering switching to a high volume low(er) weight regime to give my stabilizers time to catch up with everything. I'm old enough now that an injury would really set me back.
