2x BW deadlift after 7 years off is good stuff man, same with the bench press. What sort of experience do you have with the big lifts?

My log

Hey David, thanks for checking out my log. I graduated high school in 2005, I played football then and lifted pretty often. I was about 200-205 lbs then and I can remember benching 315, squatting 400+. Since then I have been training in MMA, and more recently ran a full marathon. Im 45lbs lighter and havent been in the traditional globo gym for about 7 years now.
