Flat Bench 3x5 @285lbs
Low bar squat 3x5 @335lbs
Deadlift 1x5 @425lbs (needed wrist wraps after all of my warm up sets... need to work on my grip)
edit: Since I have been using my voodoo floss and knee sleeves, all pain and popping has gone away. Great suggestions!

Great to hear flossing and knee sleeves working for you!
I’ll add my latest numbers....Body weight 180, unk bf I’m guessing about 10-12% pretty lean.
Deadlift - 3reps 430...will test 1rm in a week
Highbar BS - 3reps 395....will test 1rm in 10 days
Bench press - 3reps 250...will test 1rm in 2 weeks (shoulder injury has affected this drastically).
Front Squat - 3reps 315...will test 1rm in 2-3 weeks
Taking a break from Olympic lifts to let shoulder heal.
Note...I am also using Wendler 5/3/1 like DPump.
Have had great success with it over the years!
