    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Heck, count me in. At 195lbs. that's 390(~177kg) at the moment, subject to change. I am at my earlier weights 1.5x 5 rep max(280), but I am eager to see if I can get that good by January.

I'm up for it, I don't know my current 1RM (I'll try work it out later, is adding 2.5kg doing 1 rep, rest for 15 minutes and repeat, would this be a good way to test it?)

I'm at 80kg for 5x5 and still adding weight every workout.

Body weight 83kg, planning to be about 70/75kg by the time a try it.

I don't think you need to rest 15 minutes, this is excessive and will "cool" you down increasing the risk of injury. I think i've heard the best way to do it is; choose a weight that you will definitely make but heavier than usual (heavier than your 5rm if you know that) increase weight by 3-5% each time, rest 4-5 minutes... unless you choose a very low weight initially this should be a pretty good estimate of your 1rm.
Goals:
Squat- 315 lbs 5x5
Deadlift- 400 lbs 1x5 (regular grip)
Press- 205 lbs 1x5
Current (known) 1RM:
Squat: 371 lbs
Clean: 220 lbs

By the looks of it, if Blugreyhound does get the green light from his doctor, he's bound to win....he's already at 1.9xBW!

If nobody has won this yet, count me in.
I don't know what my 1 rep max but my PR right now is (5x5) 245Lbs at 160Lbs BW.
I'll test and see what my max is my next workout and update you guys. ^_^

I'm still injured. Knee is better though in no shape for doing anything but baby weights. Now it is clear to me that whatever is wrong with it is behind the knee (I guess it makes sense since I was hit from behind). I am going to give it a few weeks more. If it is still a problem I'm going to ask my GP to be refer me to someone who knows his shit.

Hey, I'll take a crack at this. My BW today was 189lb/85.9kg.
My last big 1RM was 308lb /140kg back in August.
Hitting 378lb / 171.8kg is going to be tough, but I'm up to try it.
