An update on my last post.

I maxed out yesterday on each lift.

at 200lbs of BW

I did
395 Squat
305 Bench
500 Deadlift

for a total of 1200@200

I still find it a bit low but im working on it


I have quite some.fat to lose(17-18%) therefor 180lbs for the same lvl of strenght would be nice

[swolehead]

your diference in weigh looks alot like mine between my bench and squat is 80 pound and between my squat and dead is 150 (little much for my liking)

Well DL has been my favorite lift for a long time so I improved fast.
now after my injury to the hip Squat has become my favorite and Im.increasing it faster than I thought.
I love squating now and my hip is feeling way better so the difference between my DL and SQ will slowly diminish overtime.

[fitnesstrainer]

I've never really maxed out, never felt the need but I am about 198 right now.

The most I've ever lifted was
315x10 for DL
315x14 for squats
225x15 for bench

[jolter604]

im 5" 275 and i bench 10,000 for warm up.but my bee tees drag on da floe.....

IMO your Deadlift is very weak compared to your other lift.

but squat and bench are pretty good.

Raw you should always DL more than your squat.
but on the other hand doing high rep deadlift is way harder than high rep squat...

Good job

[Cutthroat10]

I weigh 200 and have not competed yet but plan to this spring. So it goes without saying that these numbers are gym lifts and also estimates as I don't max out often. I wanted to get my DL and squat better before competing. I was one of those guys who only did upper body for a few years. I actually wanted to be at 400B/500S/500DL before competing but at this point I just want to get the first comp out of the way.

Bench 400
Squat 450
Deadlift 475

[Marc114]

6' 3" , 210lbs. Squat : 340lbs , Bench :250lbs , Deadlift: 415 lbs. Nothing spectacular. Just started lifting two years ago at the tender young age of 43.

[swolehead]

nice # cutthroat is that a paused bench to competition standards. me and someone els both broke state records in the 198 back in October he set the bench with a 405... also just recovered from the flu gained almost every pound back also haven't deadlifted in over a month untill 2 days ago due to overuse injury in my ac joint but lost a bet with my girl deadlifting got 500 for 4 the bet was for 5 but I got halfway and droped it cuz I was guna hitch but it feels good to be back on the road to 700 exspecialy being off scince October can't wait to hit it again in a few weeks.

[Marc114]

Those were gym numbers. Just did my first meet back in July , kept my numbers a little more conservative , My only goal at the meet was to hit 9 for 9. Next meet coming up in April , looking to be a lot more aggressive with the weight!

[swolehead]

there 2 methods I plan to use still havent tryed one yet the fist is openers are cake make the judges know you know what ur doing then work your way up my second wich Im leaning twards in my next comp is a heavy weigh that you know you can do then go to what ever weigh you wanted to do that day so if u miss you get a second try and if it was a good day you could go for something higher

[Marc114]

That's pretty much my plan for my next meet. Going to open with around 90% of my max, 2nd attempt will be whatever my gym PR is and then go for broke on the third attempt. I kept things conservative in my first meet , was not sure how my body was going to react to that environment , HUGE difference between the gym and a meet , but I felt great all day. The atmosphere , adrenaline , and the excitement really works in my favor I discovered.

[bigrich4]

No meet, but garage total 1140 at 210 lbs... an embarrassing number for a powerlifter but i have big plans for my squat this year and more. My bench has always sucked.
405 squat
475 deadlift
260 bench

[JohnnyJim]

I was 17 when I had these stats:

BW = 205 pounds

"Hip squat" = 405 pounds

ATG front squat = 315 pounds

Bench Press = 275 pounds

Deadlift = 455 pounds

Jerk = Less than 185 pounds



2 years later, here I was...

BW = 190 pounds

"Hip squat" = ???

ATG front squat = 315 pounds

Bench Press = ???

Deadlift = ???

Jerk = 205 pounds



There was a two-year gap of zero training in between those.

[swolehead]

get I'm the gym my man and fill in those question marks this week

[Liftinlarge]

been lifting with no idea for 2 years and powerlifting for 1 year, 410 squat, 155 bench, 355 dead, total 920 at 220 bw (i suck at bench and deads) but happy with my squat for an old bird. looking forward to bigger and better this year.

[Baxter35]

These are my gym PR's:
Bench 355
Squat 425
Dead 515
5'9" 206lbs
I did my first ever competition yesterday, which was a bench press only event, and hit 325. I've never competed before, and the pause on the bottom waiting for the press command took a lot out of me.

ya it's hard to get used to I try to train like that all the time but pause extra 6 weeks out because diferent judges will have you hold differentry times

[JohnnyJim]

I did squats for high reps today.

155 pounds.

[swolehead]

not in my maxing phase yet stI'll doing tripple but making good progress this cycle each working set of tripple contantly up 10 or 20 pounds per week right now at 345 bench for 3 425 squat for 3 545 deadlift for 3

[Nubster]

260# 39 years old. Been back lifting two months after 8 year off. Hit 400 on the bench this past Sunday. Haven't squatted or deadlifted much due to herniated disc in my back (no pain, just scared) but now I'm hooked up with a legit group of lifters that are going to help me work with that injury and start doing those lifts. My ultimate goal is 500 bench and I'd be happy as hell to hit 500 in the dead and squat for a 1500 total and maybe mess around in some submaster class comps, even though I know that total would get smashed.

I bet your squat abd deadlift will be higher after you break that mental barrier

[Docd187123]

I have 18 days until I get a platform total.

[The Deadlifting Dog]

good luck guys any ideas for your openers and what you wana walk out with for final lifts

[qscgugcsq]

good luck guys any ideas for your openers and what you wana walk out with for final lifts

I did a squat PR monday and friday I have 315 to do for the bench and probably will get it.

So with GYM PR
405 squat
305 bench(until friday)
500 deadlift

I guess my first attemp would be
385 Squat
300 bench
485 deadlift

Second would be my actual PR
405
315
500

And final lift depends on how it goes...
If they were easy i would try +10-20lbs
If hard 5-10lbs.

It is just my estimatation I havent done my first comp yet so im not experimented.

But I think a heavy comfortavle first lift, second as your actual PR, and last an attemp to beat your actual PR is a good way to go.

[swolehead]

personaly I'd go a little lower on the openers you wana show the judges that perfect form and contro for the green lights I was just telling my friend with a meet coming up to take what he wanted on his final lifts and open with about 35 lb less I like this idea I haven't applied it yet but you can be happy with the second attempt and pass on 3 to save energy or if you fail you get another try at it because judges can give lights when you think you did it fine and most favorable outcome would be nail the second then go for a pr on the 3rd. sorry for no periods and such I'm on my phone

Well... if you fail at your second attemp succeeding at the third would be pretty damn hard(except for a form lag(like it happened to me at 405))

But im pretty confident.
I did 500lbs deadlift yesterday again just cause I was feeling well and it went very smoothly. And 295 at the bench, went well too.
Did 385 this monday at squatting, went good.
I aim for 500/405/315 at my second attemp.
And Im not scared about redlight.
I ALWAYS squat ass to the grass. And I always pause bench... I just hope my pause is long enough XD

[Khazima]

First meet was today, the lifting went well but i got red lighted on 2 technicalities and failed my last deadlift attempt. I got;

Squat 140/150/160kg, got red lighted on 160 for racking too early since the judge decided to hold the rack command for a really long time after he tried to red light me for almost racking too early on my 2nd but the other 2 were whites.

Bench 90/95/100kg, got red lighted on the 100kg for lifting my head slightly off the bench, it was pretty funny though because i realized when it happened and tried to really slowly put my head back down hoping they wouldn't notice lol. Aced the 100kg though, really happy i've finally broken that barrier.

Deadlift 150/165/175kg, got 1st and second clean but tried to overshoot the third, really wanted a 420kg total because that's the requirement for nationals at 74kg. Still a 5kg PR on the dead and i would've been happy with matching my previous 160kg.

Total - 410kg/903lb

Unofficial total - 425kg/937lb

At 73.5kg/162lb

Hoping to close in on the 1000lb at my next meet hopefully in 2-3 months.

[yettibecsuse]

Weight 118kg as in I weigh; Bench 150kg squat 185kg dont bother deadlift

Good job, now you have the first one under your belt all you will have to think about next time is your lifts. All the other worries you can work on now until the next one.
