The only thing I have to say about that is that my bench is embarrassing and I have no prospect of making it reasonable.

We're putting the band back together
I've been inconsistent in the past 18 months about my hobby of picking up heavy things and putting them down, but the last 2 months have been relatively consistent and I'm probably about 50# at most off of my top lifts in all categories for an easy total of 500kg. 200-100-200, plus or minus some change. I'm getting strength back right quick, so maybe, just maybe, I could consider making a 500# squat a goal for the end of the year. I'm going back to grad school, the gym the powerlifters use is right near the stats building, and I won't have much else to do besides stats and squats, so call me maybe? It's too early to call it a goal, though. It's more a vague idea of a possibility.

HUMBLE YOURSELF!
wait, does that mean you actually pick up something that's 500 pounds? does this mean you can move my piano?
Well, if you put it on my back, yes, I might be able to stand up with it.
please use consistent units
Learn to multiply by 2.2.
aha, that's how it's done! so i've done the calculations at if I understand gym jargon you are squatting 440 lbs, benching 220 lbs and deadlifting 440 lbs? Yeah, I would agree that your bench needs some work but the other numbers are impressive.
I fall into the other camp where my bench is better than my squats which makes me an very top heavy individual.
Do you do assistance lifts, or is your program straight DL/squat/bench/power clean/pullups?
ALso, do you use a method?
-ns
pretty much. At the moment, I'm basically doing "Starting Strength" because I'm still getting strength back. Later, I'll move to something more complicated, but, yeah, I pretty much don't do any assistance in general, except maybe some additional lat work (rows or pulldowns) and thumbless grip hammer curls.
