But now I’ve been able to squat 245lb 5x5, deadlift 225lb 5x5 (bad back from hockey), curl 75lb 5x5, shrug 100lb dumbbells 3x12. My bench and military press is pathetic due to a shoulder injury, so its not even worth listing lol

Congrats on the gains…it always feels good when you are taking steps in the right direction…for a while now I have only been taking baby steps…but it is expected considering how long I have been at it. The 5x5 routine is one of the best out there if done correct…I think earlier in this thread I posted a link that explains it in great detail.
