Well I'm no where near these numbers anymore, but I was 296 and playing d-1 college ball, I was putting up 490 bench, 635 squat to parallel, and dead was 640. What about cleans...that was my personal favorite lift at 365. Never had any contests or anything, but did put up 225lb on bench 31 times for the nfl scouts on scouting day.

Hey musc2002... bro I remember back in the Winter, you were barely doing 500 off one board with the double denim... so congrats on gaining all that strength.
Great job!

Shit man you're a big mofo.
With a deadlift that big at only age 20 you'll have a world record in a few years...

Great job.

**Huge Presser** · 07-16-2003, 07:24 PM

Nice lifts everyone.
Pal, I believe you asked me for good routines, I've been thinking and I can't find anything. Does anyone have any good routines besides Westside.
Maybe like a 5-4-3-2-1 would do it for a 14 yr old.
If no one can help I'll do some research for you Pal.

Peace,
HP

**Rx-AS** · 07-19-2003, 08:03 AM

I use this "calculator" for my 14 week workout cycle...
http://www.angelfire.com/pe/txpls/program1.html
HP, I don't know if you meant 5-4-3-2-1 as in pyramid training but here is a progressive workout calculator that goes 10-8-5-3-2-1 over a 14 week period. I use it for all three lifts and supplement each accordingly.
I've been using this method for two years and my totals keep going up.
This workout can get intense, especially in the high-rep phase. I've found that skipping about every 3rd week on Deadlifts helps alot. I'm too scared that I'll lose strength if I skip any bench or squat workouts. Powerlifting is an on-going science. Louie Simmons (aka Westside) is a genius and has a lot of good articles. I use alot of his supplemental work.

**Huge Presser** · 07-19-2003, 11:57 AM

Yep thats what I'm talking about, I've also heard of 10-8-6-4-2 and other similar ones. Thanks bro.

**Rx-AS** · 07-19-2003, 01:32 PM

Glad to be of "service"...I hope it helps

**Huge Presser** · 07-19-2003, 02:27 PM

You got all this Pal? Hey bro just about anything will work because you're only 14! Good luck take it easy!

**quez82** · 07-23-2003, 11:40 AM

**Rx-AS** · 07-23-2003, 08:32 PM

don't forget the high rep hip thrusts (usually done in private with a partner)!!!

**Mike Nation** · 08-22-2003, 02:09 PM

Hey dude im 14 and i bench 250, squat 375 and curl 135, beat that!

**alko** · 08-22-2003, 04:37 PM

Mike nation, what is your height and weight? Those are some pretty damn good lifts.

**Mike Nation** · 08-28-2003, 02:49 PM

I am 5 foot 10 and i weigh 190 pounds

**BARBENDER29** · 08-29-2003, 04:27 AM

I'm 30 yrs old 5'11,204lbs now, but drop about 10 lbs before competition so I can bench in the 198 class.Last competition benched 525 with a denim 2 ply shirt (open back).That was what I opened with, but my partner that went with me dropped 475lbs on him on his second lift so I went with him to the hospital.Needless to say,I did not get my other two lifts,but that's OK I'll be back.The state record in my state for my division is a 535 bench,for now.I will take that crown in a few months.

I was on a powerlifting team for 3 years in highschool and now I'm currently just trying to get as strong and big as possible.....

**alko** · 09-18-2003, 03:58 PM

I can't seem to get over 300 in the bench, but with out any powerlifting training I squat 405 (squatting is hard when you are tall and stiff jointed) and deadlift 575 at 6'5" (and a 1/2 if I am real picky) and 250lbs.
The pb in bench is just so sad, wonder if it is all in my head?

**Bigboy123** · 10-02-2003, 11:00 PM
