My current prs:
squat: 455 with better depth than before. My biggest improvement and it didn't even feel maximal.
bench: 330 touch'n'go, 315 paused. Bench felt like it wasn't going up for a bit so quite happy.
deadlift: Still 545 but I actually locked it out. Deadlift seems to be the most affected by the fatigue of always lifting heavy. Pretty sure I could do more if I could chill out and not try to max out every time.

Very nice numbers. I think you're a taller person so it's normal to have a very good DL and have a slow progressing bench. You seem like a bigger dude, so I'm curious to see if you can hit the 500 lb squat club..


Only thing I recently did was get a 355 bench touch and go. This one was a struggle to get, but it allowed me to get 315 for a good 5 reps when I was finished.
