Congrats on the 400lb benchmark

Only 5lbs away form 4 plates a side. Keep it up.

Cheers.

You and I have very similar numbers, but your squat is well ahead of mine. Just curious, how much can you do on the overhead press? I am closing in on 200 there.

standing overhead presses...definitely no where near 200 lol. my max is about 150 on OHP, but I can easily rep my max a couple of times because of the stretch reflex. good job on 200, how much can you bench?

Stretch reflex? rep your max? I'm confused.

Stretch reflex? rep your max? I'm confused.

A lift has an eccentric THEN a concentric. Think of it this way: on a squat or bench, you lower the bar (eccentric) which creates this phenomenon stretch reflex, then you push (concentric). Try squatting Starting from the hole, or benching starting on your chest and you'll see that it's MUCH harder to lift than if you came down first. The deadlift doesn't have a stretch reflex because it basically only has the concentric part of the lift. Also, eccentrics are what cause soreness. So when i stand and do a military press, i'm starting off of my chest rather than already overhead. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that's how it works.

Ok so how does that make your one rep max, not your one rep max?

I'm getting a bit confused too lol. i can rep 150 for 2 or 3, but it's next to impossible to get 155. I'm sure i can get 155 for 1 or 2 if i push pressed it up first.

Ok I hear what you're saying.

I've never tried my one rep max for over head press as I am afraid of injury. I stay in the 5 rep range.

 

[lanny]

150!! lol!! and i havnt even got passed the 75 mark!! twice my OHP! grr!!! EAT EAT!! train train!! GAIN GAIN!!!

eventually your squat should overpass your DL.
good job!

and further more it seems like you are kinda new to lifting??
if so you should make quick gains for the first year or so...then you'll grind down and you can add in a few things to get a boost
belt
wraps
then maybe briefs, a suit, and a shirt

That makes total sense to me because I have noticed that when I clean the bar from the floor I have a much easier time with the overhead presses versus when I take the bar directly off the rack. BTW, my 1RM on the bench is 275. My squat is nowhere near 360. I haven't even been able to get 3 plates on each side of the bar yet.

yeah, I like 3-5 rep range for OHP but i got curious lol

My squat always seemed to be pretty close to my DL compared to other people especially since i go ATG. And thank you!

Well, i've been lifting seriously for 3 years, basically only did the basic lifts with the 3x5 and 5x5 until just recently. When I start competing in powerlifting i'll get used to using belts/wraps/shirts etc, but for now i want raw strength

I can't wait to bench 275 lol. i'm sure you'll get 3 plates on each side for squats real soon since our numbers are pretty close.
