Those #'s are impressive @ your body weight for sure.

^^yeh thx samson.. i dunno if they r or not i know i lift more than most i see in the gym i go to, even guys bigger than me.. (most of em fatter too ) my deadlift i just started doing 6months ago and am a little reluctant to go really heavy. i can do 315 x 10 with no prob.. i cant guess what my 1 rep max would be. i need to get more experience with the lift to understand proper technique as im sure i have a lot of room for improvement!

Can't trust those bod pods!

[marcus300]

dont do deads or bench

[Armykid93]

Fvck Marcus. Nice bi shot.

I've never really done maxes honestly. At my strongest I could squat 315x14 and bench 224x15. That was around 200 pounds and i'm 5 8.

Have you lost your shit? 9.5% maybe just in your upper body.

Me... 5'8" 210, 16-17% ish....

Bench: 365 (6 reps) never maxed so don't know 1RM.
Squat: 605 (6 reps) never maxed
Dead: Don't do them no idea, not good for your back and I'm old.

[red_hulk]

23 5'11 190lbs

Bench: 285 x3
Deadlift: 315 x3
Squat: 325 x2

Not as impressive as some of you guys, but I'm happy with my numbers lol. I'm working my ass off to get them up!

[OnTheSauce]

5'11 220 11-12% bf

B 345
S 585
D 700

[Knockout_Power]

I don't get to play this round cause I don't do bench press at all or heavy squats for a max, just high reps

Now that I'm "bulking" for the first time in a really long time I go to the gym every day- but I'm there for 15 minutes. I go in and do 2 sets and I'm out.

For that- I ride my bike to the gym which is a mile away in the summer and during the winter I do a 5 min routine on the treadmill I created back in college.

Chest Day:

Set 1: Flat Bench Drop Set: 425 x 1, 415 x 1, 315 x 6-8 (I can't do 425 but I give it everything trying)

well which one is it?? were u bullshitting then or now?? or both??

[Armykid93]

Probably both

Neither actually. I don't know what my true 1RM is. True 1RM means the exact weight you can complete 1 FULL REP WITHOUT CHEATING. I can do 365 x 6 clean without a spot. I can do 415 x 1 cleanwithout a spot. Can I do 425... don't know. Last time I tried no... but that was last time I tried. I might be able to bang out 425 now. I'm bulking so next chest day I'll try and let you know. I'll video tape it for you fat ass

I couldn't do 425. I said I TRY to do 425 and eventually will be able to.

[Lunk1]

Whatever little man! You better just stick to the 300's where you belong!

Till I'm doing 425 for 6 reps a month or two from now......

Didn't you just have a birthday? Why are you in the Lounge? Shouldn't you be in the old man section now?

Got a wee bit longer skin and bones lol! You want to race to 425???????

[largerthannormal]

My numbers are stupid and make no sense...

28yr 5 10"
181 raw open ( these were done out of comp at 185lbs) last week i had a super great day and hit stupid high on incline, I havent tried a max flat in months but I would have taken it that day if i was on flat

bench 365
squat 440
dead 455

[dan991]

I'll race you to 425. I wouldn't doubt if I could do it already so you may have already lost, lol. I can do 415 clean for a rep already. I work out Chest on Wed next week. I had to move my schedule around because of work travel. I doubt hotels have 425 lbs in free weights, lol

[Knockout_Power]

Just finished my chest workout in the shitty hotel gym. They only have 4 plates but I never venture past 225 on the odd occasion I lay on bench... Two dozen reps is a nice burn though. My start incorporating it again

[Dpyle]

Due to lack of a trusted spotter bench and squats are done on machines so no max for those. Best deadlift was 405 at around 160-165lbs. Currently doing 365 for 4 reps as the last working set EO week.

[Knockout_Power]

Due to lack of a trusted spotter .

and there's my answer to what I stopped bench press. When I was 18 my buddy was too busy looking at some spandex ass and I tweaked something in my left shoulder on the one set I was going for personal best...

Indeed! I'm not brave enough to ask a random in the gym for a spot. One slip and shit could get real ugly in a hurry.

You should keep trying, I have a real bad back, took me years to finally get it to where I could squat/dead.....dont give up, build up your core going light, for a long time. Just get the movements in.
