whats you body weigh and totals

[swolehead]

I know many people in rps actually know about 10 that went to that meet if people wanted we could figure it out anyways. but you should have just posted you bodyweight and total like the title proposes

You don't know which meet I participated in, there were several "a few weeks ago". So based off the information I've given, please find out who I am and post up. I did post up my bodyweight but I will not post up the total in a public forum that talks about steroid use which is illegal in this country. I also must have missed the part where you posted your BW and total. I saw a post or two about particular lifts but not a total. Please follow your own advice before you try preaching it upon me.

[swolehead]

there were only a couple a few weeks ago Im not going to waste my time trying to figure out who you are why don't you take it down a notch all we wanted to know was what u totaled and if you simply left out information such as what fed you competed in then you would have been able to safely disclose your total to us.

[swolehead]

and I never talked about my numbers because my first meet was in October and i was unimpressive and I'm waiting another few months to do one but I got red lighted on 2 squat attempts so my final squat was my opener of a measly 365 I can front squat 405 now and repped a 405 back for 7 today so that's nuthing in comparison my bench was a 355 Wich I also do 5 x 3 with now and my deadlift was a 575 wich I'm also doing for 5 x 3 now and I'm in your weigh class

[jjpaki1212]

First meet i got 345 squat 235 bench 435 dead for 1015 total at 181. 5 months later did a comp and hit 400 squat 250 bench 470 dead for 1120 total at 181. My next comp is in 3.5 months and i hope to get 450 squat 300 bench 525 dead at 181 for a 1275. Hoping for a pro total in the next year!

Raw with wraps or raw?

Very good total man.
I hope to reach 455 squat 350 bench 545 dead for next summer. @ under 198.
Which would yield me to 1350.

If I could do a comp this october I would like to try at least 1200 (which I already have at 185) at under 181.

I wonder about wraps cause your squat seems high compared to your bench.

My squat and bench used to be close like yours when I started it was 365 bench and 450 squat with a 605 dead with a lot of training focusing on bar placement which I now do low bar or medium low not as low as some guys I see out there and I widened my stance a little and focus on sticking my chest out and keeping my back tight, I now squat 575 and bench 390 so the gap has clearly increased scince I have practiced those things to wat I'd call a more desire able differential in my numbers

Do you body build?

[hawk14dl]

Do you body build?

Not really. I still participate in some sports, i really just lift because i enjoy it.

That said, id also enjoy being bigger and stronger and leaner. But who doesn't?

+Edit, forgot to mention, the reason i rarely squat heavy is a Bad lower back. Hurts to even get the weight on my shoulders. Since buying a belt, I've been able to squat a lot more

Injury or just soreness your lumbar may be under active if it's not from injury I went to the chiropractor before I started powerlifting and they told be do xyz then come back in 2 weeks and see if I could squat so I just went and squared that day and the more I squatted the better it felt not during but after

[hawk14dl]

Since i started squatting again, my back has certainly felt better.

New totals as of tonight (all competition reps, wrist wraps, belt and knee sleeves)
255 bench
275 squat
355 dead

885 lb total. Weigh 183 today.

There's a push pull meet in town in a few weeks. I think i wouldn't embarrass myself, i may sign up. I at least plan to attend and watch.

What do you guys think?

I would definitely compete.
I made the mistake of not entering until I could hit certain numbers.
Looking back I wish I would've competed so I could've seen the progress.

I've done one meet. Have another one in about 8 weeks.

211lbs.
No belt, wraps, sleeves, or straps. Naked as they say.
435 squat
350 bench
550 deadlift
44yrs old

Next meet I am using a belt, knee sleeves, and wrist wraps.

Good advice !

[hawk14dl]

Considering I've never been to a meet, i think I've decided to just go watch this time. Besides that id have to buy a membership and a singlet and id rather not rush into it. But i will go spectate

[Khazima]

Had a meet the other day, finally hit a 1000lb total @ 160lb

172.5kg squat (380lb)
107.5kg bench (237lb)
175kg deadlift (385lb)
455kg total (1002lb)

Final squat was a definite max, bench was pretty easy probably had 110 there and deadlift was extremely easy, probably had 185 in the tank but only planned on 175 for the 1000lb total and a 9/9 meet so i left it there.

Planning on a 4 plate squat (180kg maybe 182.5 just for 400lb), 112.5-115kg bench and 190kg deadlift at 160lb in the next meet (3 months) then competing in nationals in august.

Good lifts. Looks like from the way your lifts are laid out you probably have longer arms. You hate the bench but your DL is good. People tend to train what is easy for them and neglect what they dislike. I'm not saying you do this but it could be a contributing factor to your weak BP. You can build your bench. It may be slow but work on your form. Stay tight. Tuck your elbows. But the one thing that will help the most if you have longer arms is to create a good arch when you bench. You can decrease the ROM if you arch your back when you bench. Build your tris. Develop lockout strength. You can bring your BP up with some smart training. Best of luck.

Thanks for the advice. I actually train legs twice a week and bench twice a week and DL only once. I focus a primary bench/leg and then a secondary... say touch and go bench vs comp style bench. I also work triceps 1-2x per week. If I do it a 2x time that week after my last bench day I will hit them hard. I have very long arms and a thin chest area so getting the arch does help a little, however I can't arch very much. I've learned alot about bench since I've been reading into it more.

[Bertuzzi]

Never really focused too much on power lifting. Since joining this new gym a year ago and doing Crossfit (I know, I know). We have focused a lot on Strength and I am really leaning more towards power lifting.

Nothing really impressive, but I am looking to focus a lot on my strength this year.

Currently:
6'1 230lbs 19-20% BF

BP = 320lbs
Squat = 415lbs
DL = 475lbs

Total = 1210lbs

Best individual raw unwrapped and walked out squat: 545#

Deadlift: 540#

Pause bench: 395#

At 5'9 198# Was only in a low dose of trt at the time of 100-120mg

Totaled raw elite at 198. Wanted a 220 elite but have been overcome by injuries the past 18 months and now at 39 think it's time to shift gears considering the rash of injuries.

Im in the same boat at 41 with the injuries. They dont seem to stop coming if I keep training the same. Im trying to keep heavy lifts down, Ill be happy when I can just bench again for reps. Good luck, be smart, think things out.

The "be smart" part has been very difficult for me. It's funny man, the more I foam roll, stretch, do mobility work, band distraction work, rehab, prehab etc the more I seem to get injured.

Football and wrestling in college, judo and Bjj post college. Got my bb in Bjj after 6 years of non stop training, started powerlifting cos I wanted more 35 cent medals and trophies for my junk drawer lol. Made a comment about how healthy I've stayed throughout all the physical activities I'd been through one day, few days later went out and threw a football and partially tore my ucl (think tommy johns surgery) in my right elbow, along with golfers elbow on top of that.

Got diagnosed with hypogonadism during that elbow rehab time. 10 months later I was finally good to go and on trt.

Eventually got elite total and that 35 cent trophy. One month later I partially tore my quad tendon and meniscus. 8 months of rehab later I was good to go.

1 month later I tore my right groin training Bjj off the bone. 2 months after that I partially tore my left groin. I stopped everything and started rehabbing again for several months.

I got back lifting and tore my meniscus in my other knees and got patella femoral syndrome in the same knee doing cleans. Was still rehabbing when I partially tore my right groin again running sprints last April. MRI last month showed it was still torn and am back rehabbing it again.

It's not that I consider myself a quitter or a *****, but I'm damn tired of starting every new year off in rehab. Sorry for the rant bro, it's just good to be somewhere where people get it. Everybody around me just thinks I should quit everything and fade into the night cos that's what one is supposed to do as we age they think. Not me, I refuse to go into the night quietly. Even if my body won't cooperate lol

Thats quite the list Its tough, you really have to sit down with yourself and come up with what type of training you can do thats for longevity. Im working on it, have it pretty much figured out, I just have to get my shoulder right because I jumped in head first to heavy benching after rehabbing at a planet fitness for 6 months (sucked ass). Took 2 years after I tore my bi off the snapped a tendon in my fore arm after the bi surgery. We really need to train with our heads at this point. I went from show shape (after competing) to shit shape and now almost 3 years Im still fighting my way back up and will ever look like that again. Good luck, be honest with yourself.

I never per say do a "max" but these are my personal best

Thank you brother. You're injuries sound not so fun man. The planet fitness sounds almost as bad lol. I'm "letting go" of things now. Goodbye powerlifting, goodbye Bjj after 18 years of training. There comes a point where you can only milk so much out of your body for a given sport or activity. Now I just want to look good and feel good for the first time in 5 years. I'm hoping a return to HIT styled training with more frequent deload weeks and smarter cycling of intensity will be the smart play.

Been 2 yrs since my last meet. The Bristol Bash (Gene Rychlaks fed) I hit a raw 355 at 177 bw. At 56 yrs old. Finally got my name on powerlifting watch.Com.

[Rozzyrat]

I did my first meet back in December just the get the experience under myself. I was coming off an shoulder injury and being out if the gym for a year. My numbers were sad, but I learned a lot. At 43 yo and 229 lbs, I stood up a 345 squat but got red lighted for a step, got NR's on 215 bench (very sad) for ass off and pulled a nice 435 DL.

Current gym PRs are 365 squat, 230 bench, and 455 DL at 223 lbs. I'm doing meet in June and expect to hit around 1100 at 220.

All natural at all for the first meet. Current gym prs are with ~10 weeks of TRT.
