I just got my bench to 210 for 3 sets of 8-10. I go for a 4mile run every couple days, my squats are up to 235 for sets of 10, and same for my deadlifts(remember my back and legs are lagging from years of neglect lol). All of this at 5'10 160lbs. I started using protein supplements and I have been working on the diet aspect a lot more than I ever did in the past with leaner protein in the form of chicken and tuna. I have noted quite a bit of improvement in terms of my physique particularly in the midsection! I do enjoy having enough time in the summer to work out properly every day!
Nice lifts, especially at 160lbs. If you haven't checked it out, look up Wendler's 5-3-1. Fantastic program that is simple and extremely effective. I have seen roughly 30% increase in my big 4 lift maxes since beginning the program a little over 6 months ago. Not newb gains either since I already was doing crossfit at a gym that really stressed strength training. If you have an iPhone, there is an app called "Big Lifts Pro" that does it all for you. Having a set training program and goals makes a huge difference.
Getting close to my goal of a 1000lb crossfit total (deadlift, squat, strict overhead press) by the winter. After that its to be a 500, 400, 300, 200 guy at sub 180lbs. Slow and steady, but climbing.
