Bp
215x7x5 super easy
Based on how these sets are feeling, i think maxing at 275-285 is a good estimate.

Re: 5/3/1+ Oly lifting
It should work good, it's a lot of volume and frequency, but I set my weights low enough that nothing ever feels very heavy. That saves the body and I feel like I'm making good progress.
