Im a bodybuilder so I usually lift in the 6-15 rep range and dont work on strength but w.e il post for the hell of it.
Im 190lbs
Bench max: 315lbs
Dead lift: 505lbs
squat: 315lbs
I could possibly do more but this is what recently tired after working with high reps for a while.
ahhh shit..... I have no clue.....
I use dumbells to bench mostly..... 125l-130lbs ea usually. Squats I just use a hackswuat machine and leg press for mass builders. Barbell squats tear my knee up as it's bone on bone......
I admittedly havn't deadlifted in quite a while..... was around 495 or so I believe..... probably not even close to that now.
I try to get about 10-12 reps for most stuff.

weight - 170
bench - 295-330
squat - 425- 465
deadlift - 550 - 600
chinup- + 120
How many of you guys go ass the the grass on squats? its seems like in powerlifting once you hit 90 degrees they back up? I go down as far as I can go.
Wow good job man! how tall are you?? at 170 thats some heavy weight to be lifting! unless your really short?Quote:

Thats true alot of guys do lie...its like when you meet a guy in the gym whos 140lbs soaking wet, doing curls in the squat rack says to you "I use to bench 300lbs last year but I hurt my shoulder...I was jacked!" lol love that line! I remember way back in highschool this kid went around highschool telling people he maxed 365lbs on bench and that they were pussies for only being able to put up 185 lol I worked out with him one time and could hardly get 205 off the rack haha he told me his shoulder hurt or some bull shit lol
Or full of shit.Quote:

I am not strong and never claim to be but most of the time the people who do are fos.
There are always exceptions but 90% of the time its true.
Agreed! Plus some people's definitions of different lifts are open to interpretation. Some guys don't go all the way down when they bench, some guys only go 90 degrees when they squat, some people go half way down when they shoulder press. So whatever people post really doesn't matter unless you're a competitive weightlifter/powerlifter/strongman where absolute poundages matter.Quote:

Only thing I've ever came close to maxing is flat bench. Most I've ever done was 275 for 3 reps. I was just under 190lbs at the time. If I tried a three rep max now it'd prolly be around 245 if I'm lucky.
At 42 years old i RARELY max. My max lifts are usually in the 4-5 rep range. I do like flat bench db's though, and when i go heavy i usually press 130's for 4-5 reps after some warm ups. That's good enough for me.
Weight: 168
Bf:8%
Age:20
Bench:615x2
Deadlift:885
Squat:855 only to parallel I have knee problems.
Haven't maxed in a while. Did these lifts the day before my bodybuilding show on an empty stomach. I would have got them on video but I lost the charger to my camera.
ok.............Quote:

bench 455lbs
squat 600lbs
deadlift 720lbs

You do realize that if what you are saying is true you would be the greatest power litter that ever lived for your weight classQuote:

to me, it's all just numbers anways, and in the past, I chased the big numbers. then my form started going to sh1t, and ran into trouble by overstraining the wrong muscles. So fuk the ego, and who cares about the big numbers. I just focus on form, keep my reps in a decent range (6 to 12 or so). And i try not to do that very laaaast rep, the one where I'm shaking so bad that it feels like my eyeballs are going to pop out. But I'm almost 50 my lads, and you guys are just kids, so do what's right for you.
Egos are really F'in this thread up man!
184lbs @ 5'8
Bench: 320
Squat: um...bench is more
Deadlifts: never
Curls: 85 (for workout)
Those are honest. Oh, and i hate squating...really jacks my knees up!
yep. me too. I do leg presses instead.Quote:

Well that's exactly what i'm saying. I could probably get 150's for 2 reps but like you said, why take the risk? Pushing big weight around used to be important to me but that was just my ego and me testing myself. Now, i typically do all exercises in the 10-15 rep range (but sometimes i'll do stupid stuff like seeing if i can curl the olympic bar 50-75 times) for 4-5 weeks then i'll go heavier for 1 week on all exercises just to mix things up and see where i'm at. Super sets, Giant sets, their all included.Quote:

I do some deads but light due to 3 ruptured disk. Leg press is better but only around 300 lbs+
If I can get the size I want lifting lighter I'm all for it but I dont think so. I just try to go up SLOW...
well, i've done a total rethink since getting hurt. you are 110% correct about the concerns those our age should have when working out.Quote:

I walked into ops this morning, and these kids, 25 to 30 yrs old were doing pushups. So I ask, what's the bet gentlemen? they are like, huh? So I pull a 20 out my wallet and say let's make things interesting. Everyone stick a 20 up, and whoever does the most "correct" pushups takes all.
Chicken shits! Never let an old man fuk with you like that. Always stick the 20 on the table.... (he could user the money!!)
I have to remind myself all the time...especially while on. I get into that mode of heavier, heavier then something always happens and im pissed at myself. I started doing a lot of stretching before training and taking a solid week off when I know my body is to the point of going to far. Its worked well, shoulders dont hurt, back isnt tight. You cant be a hero in the gym if you can get in there to train.Quote:

Yeah it's fun to go someplace where the boys are and given the chance to show what you got a little watching their jaws drop. :pQuote:

You know how you get a feeling sometimes and know there is going to be trouble? They are typical 16-19 yr 120 lb scrawny Asian kids. From their distance all they saw was an Asian girl with an older Foreigner. I'm sure in their mind they are thinking it's an easy roll to make a few bucks. As they are coming a little closer (for no apparent reason) I had already given the GF a heads up. I casually took my 2nd layer shirt off, semi long sleeve leaving only my tank top. It was funny to watch them stop dead in their tracks, start talking and walking away from us in the other direction. LOL I got asked at least 5x a day if I was a boxer or MMA LOL
Like you said, dont under estimate us old guys. Now I need to get my chin ups back up to 30 someday but I am 40lbs heavier than I was back then.
