Nice lifts, thought you to be a meathead bro bar-dropper but you proved us all wrong.
My friend keeps a couple of his barbells at the gym, which are pretty nice barbells too, and on top of remaining in control of the weight, i'd rather not do that to his bar
they're pretty new bars too which is nice, they stay locked up and only a few people have the code for them so sometimes it's awkward when people ask if i'm done with the bar and i have to say they can't use it haha

I’d skip the 5/3/1 and do a plan that has records under its belt.
Check out Chad Wesley Smith and his book A thoughtful pursuit of strength.
My numbers over this program so far:
Squat: 365 single to an estimated 405 “315 for a set of 9”
Bench: 185 double to 185 for a set of 6
Deadlift: 405 single to a 455 single, also pulled 405 for 4
E: lifts look good too, you savage fuck pulling hook and shit
I have about 5 plans people are recommending to me right now so it's kind of confusing lol on top of that 2 of my friends are pretty successful powerlifters who both do programming who offer me advice on programming, so i kinda have no idea yet what i'm going to choose. I'm tempted to stick with my bro plan
I've literally only been deadlifting "seriosuly" for about a month-ish now so i'm thinking my working sets will just naturally go up as i transition to powerlifting regardless what program i do, my main concern is staying healthy and functional
And thanks! i kinda switched over from alternating grip, i think it, among many things, could of been one of the things leading to my back injury, if ya notice my first 405 DL my underhand side (right hand) lagged a bit which is also the side i hurt my back on. I've gone has high as 495 in the past using hook so i think it's my best bet nowadays.
