Currently I'm at
Bench - 255 (I'm probably capped here with my middle-aged shoulder pain)
Squat - 315
Dead Lift - 405
All you guys who've lifted for ages knows that adding 25 pounds of one rep max weight is a ****ing lot, especially for a middle aged guy. My most likely route will be adding to dead lift but it'll be a long, slow process. If I get hurt, I can't work, and if I don't work I'll have no money and, well, then I'm ****ed.

Deadlifting is such a fun lift. You feel like a bad ass just because you can put so much weight on the bar. Someday I'll get back into lifting, someday.
