Hope my girlfriend or Chiropractor doesn't read this!

Some numbers from today 1rm test Back squat- 247lbs, deadlift-252. I could have done more weight but I was doing this in a crossfit class and I didn't want to hold the class up plus I was just being cautious.

My new goals

It is now 16 months since my back surgery. In the coming months I will be Crossfitting for awhile to try something new. But I have some very real goals. A 315lb Back squat, a 90kilo squat clean, 60kilo snatch or power snatch and a 100kilo front squat. I might think about improving my pressing power with a 80 or 90kilo jerk. This will take some time. I imagine about 24 months barring any setbacks(injuries). Wish me luck (or God bless) your choice.
