Without seeing your technique, it's an educated guess. Rep ranges and overall volume are important, but technique is the number one issue.

FWIW I do not go for a new PR until I hit current for 5-6 reps a few times. Then I bump and always go for 2. Then increase reps again. Just my own method.
 
Hit a decent 660lb rack pull earlier this week :)

Feel like I might have had 670 in me though.

260x5 on bench press
 
Incline bench press 235x1 today
 
DB Shoulder Press:
80's x 7

2 weeks ago I was at 75's x 5-6. Adding Standing OHP has been adding strength to my shoulders fast.
 
From my experience standing OHP add strength to everything
 
Beastly numbers man
 
I realize these aren't fantastic numbers, but I'm working my way back from a knee reconstruction (hence the avi of Platz). New PR ATG squats 225x2. Feels pretty good to be getting back to form. I lost s lot of leg size and strength to the injury. It's been a difficult road of recovery for some reason... :( gettin back tho!!!

Wish I had a cool story like yours lol but I don't..
Tore it initially landing wrong after a lay up during a parks and rec basketball game. Had boxing practice that night and my "pivot" foot was the same leg I landed wrong on. Went to throw a straight, and rip :(
