Gonna try another full body workout today. I still can't do deadlifts though. regardless, GAINS. pissed that something's up and I can't manage to deadlift

Sorry I've been really busy with work. To answer your question about bench, I really don't know. I don't lift with anyone or usually bother to use a spotter except for when I'm really tired, I'll ask someone to just keep an eye on me. Bench is probably around low 300s if I maxed out. I do a lot of dumbells, so if I get tired I can just drop them. I've always had really strong triceps and a strong decline bench, which allows me to put up huge dip numbers.

I never started doing deadlifts and my brother stopped doing them due to injury. It's just too tough on the lower back. I also don't fuck around with squats. I strictly stick to leg press, but I do them with impeccable range of motion so that I get the most out of them. None of this stacking 10 plates on each side, bring it down 4 inches and then come back up. I go all the way down and all the way up, and if I can't, I drop the weight down.
