lol,im def getting stronger on them no doubt..
i switched to 185 cause my form started getting sloppy on the last few reps with 205..

Nice, I love Wendler's 5/3/1.. I'll probably do it as well in the future if I fall in love with a lift lol.
Did you pick up his book or something? He used to have the articles listed at elitefts, but a certain someone complained about it after buying one of his ebooks!
