Positive Gains and Methodology

The method i have currently been using is mapped out by the football program. what were are doing is going in 4 week cycles in which our lifts are approximated. The goal of the method is to slowly build up to a max in week 3 of the cycle. The 1st week is light week where we do three sets of 5 for bench, squat, deadlift, and push press. Week two are the same lifts but heavier. Week three is the week that we max out and do sets of 5,3,1 this way we work towards failure to see if we have mad any significant gains in our goals. This week was the max week for football and i experienced success and i am getting close to reaching heights that i have never met before for lifting. My bench improved to 275ibs for 2 reps and i also attempted 290 but was not able to lock it out all the way. My squat stayed the exact same as before. My deadlift showed signs of gains when i did 475 for 2 reps and almost broke a huge landmark for powerlfters at a 500 pound deadlift. Unfortunately i wasnt able to lock it out all the way. Just gotta keep pushing to reach my goals!
