Little progress update

Whats up guys !
I just wanted to share a bit about my progress. I've did a post before stating some stats but unfortunately, those were a bit inaccurate and i was slower and weaker than i thought.
On 21th May i started with TB and did my first Base-Building Phase.
The days prior i was testing my Maxes which came out at
220 lbs Squat
165 lbs Bench
285 lbs Deadlift
6 Pullups
121 lbs Military Press
5k in 23:00
10k in 50:00
Bodyweight
210 lbs, 6'2.
In Base Building, E mainly consisted of LSS-Runs, SE was mostly Kettlebell. HIC was a mix of BOO, BOO II and all that other good stuff.
After finishing that Phase, i got myself into Operator + Black Pro doing it religiously and missing not a single Strength session.
Strength Cluster: Squat/Bench/WPU
Conditioning Cluster: Variety Junkie, a bit of everything
I wanted to dedicate myself strictly to TB and see how far it would take me. A lot of my time was also invested in Naps, Stretching, Foam Rolling, Mobility etc.
I tested my new Max on 24th of August, doing TB for 3 months strictly as it is written.
Results were quite fantastic:
275 lbs Squat
200 lbs Bench
352 lbs Deadlift
+55lbs Pullup
132 lbs Military
5k in 22:30
10k in 48:00
I was quite shocked how much stronger i just got in 3 months. Could be Newbie-Gains or i just had a fantastic day, i dont know. Interestingly enough, my Deadlift shot up even though iam not doing it anymore.
My 5k and 10k didnt improve that dramatically, but i gotta say that i ate a lot of food and also gained about 10-12lbs in those 3 months.
The first week after my new Max was very tough though. I felt like i couldnt go with a 90% TM so i had to down it to 80% but i guess that is alright.
From 24th of August to now i switched to Fighter and Black Pro, so i could use more time and energy into MMA. The Strength progress might not be as dramatic as before, but im fine with it. Improvements will come.
Long story short,
I love TB.
