First thing.. Just because you CAN squat something doesn't mean you SHOULD. I should've stopped at 225lbs, but I was being egotistical. "YEAH! I've got two 45lb plates on both ends, I can do 20 more!" After the DL test being so soon before, my body wasn't ready, and my erector spinae paid the price for it. though, I also now know that my DL should have been higher than it was.. I could've done more, as stated, but I was worried because I had started wobbling. From now on, though, I'll be able to do things a bit smarter.. with my "max effort" lifts lower than these tests by just a bit. I've finished my numbers, so I'll outline my goals for the end of March.

CURRENT:
Bodyfat: 16%
Weight: 180lbs
1RM Bench: 185lbs
1RM Box Squat: 255lbs
1RM Deadlift: 235lbs
1RM Weighted pull-up: 35lbs

GOAL:
Bodyfat: 12%
Weight: Doesn't matter yet.
1RM bench: 200lbs
1RM box squat: 285lbs
1RM DL: 285lbs
1RM WPU: 50lbs

Deadline is March 31st.

EDIT: Apparently, I suck at math. I've changed my current numbers to reflect the REAL weight (I kept adding bar+two 45lb plates up to 115 instead of 135, so DL and bench are 20lbs heavier than listed.. Box squat I had added correctly because after 4 45lb plates, I just did 45x5.. BUT.. I switched it off to 2 45s, 2 35s, and 2 25s.. But I didn't account for the "5s" at the end of the 25s, so it was actually ten pounders heavier than I thought.
