I've been doing ok gradually moving my 5RM up with most exercises. Starting to slow with some of them, Press specifically seems to be advancing pretty slowly, but I could just not be working it enough. My squat and dead seem to just go and go. Pushing PRs every time I do them. It's wierd, I've been lifting for a bit more than a year and I never really started pushing the weight until I read that book, and now I don't want to stop...

got chalk?
Not at my main gym. I do when I go to the gym at work - there is a bucket there. Not done deads there yet though. Should get some to bring to the gym by my apt.
