Sorry for the late posting. I'll write more about my training and why I'm doing things in a later post. For now, here's what I did Saturday:
Axle Clean and Press (clean once): worked up to 225 x1, x1 (fairly easy)
18" Axle Deadlift (more like 16" I think): worked up to 500 x 5
Farmer's Walk: worked up to 275 x 1 (about 50') x 4 runs
Sled Pull: Fell on my ass when my sled broke! Have to figure out how to build / procure a better one.
Sunday: Grip work to the max! Lots of wrist curling, wrist rolling, pinching and grabbing (no biting, though). I'll explain this in more detail soon.

Skwat! Tuesday, Bench Thursday
Tuesday night we did some squatting. It took forever because some of my training partners and I were teaching a newbie how to deadlift and squat. So it was about 2 hours, and I really didn't do all that much. That's alright though, still a good session:
Squat: worked up to 370 x 4. This is without a belt. I do all my squats without a belt now. I like it and you can't tell me I'm wrong!
Speed deadlifts: I normally don't do these, but the other guy was doing these and I decided to join in. He has about the same deadlift max as I do, so we did 10 sets of 2 with 285 pounds and 60 seconds rest between sets. This is about 50% of my max, which is a decent weight.
Thursday we did some benchin'! I worked up to 255 x 6. I am excited, since this puts me at about a 305 pound max. Slowly getting to a 315 max. That would be great. I think I'll have a little competition with myself and see if I can hit 315 by my birthday in June. That should be very doable. All this pressing is paying off, and my shoulders don't feel terrible.
After benching I did some overhead pressing with 105 pounds for 5 sets of 10. It's boring work, but I think the high volume will help my pressing. Ended the night with high-rep dumbbell rows: 150x20, x20.
