So summarizing the past week's effort at maxing out:
At 135 lbs and 38 years old
S-315, with wraps but no suit
BP-215
DL-405
The squat and bench press are improvements, but the deadlift is a downer since the last max out effort. Hmmm.
I think I was a bit too conservative this periodization cycle and did not do enough hyperextensions (had been using up to 90 lb dumbbells against the chest a while back) or rack work this time through.
I hope you are competing Hazukidojo. Post some pictures!

I am though starting to outgrow the school's weight room. The highest dumbell they have is an 80 and I can already do that 5 time for dumbbell scullcrusher. Also the leg extension machine is way too light (only goes to 255). I'm avoiding machines but when I did it I would have to put on the whole rack and put a 55-60 pound dumbell on top just to get a heavy set of 10.
