I'm about 240, but I've been over 250 many times. I'm 5' 11" ++.

Bench bench is 425, deadlift is 605, and ass to the floor olympic squat is 515.

I'm feeling discriminated against. Why doesn't anyone ask what us powerhouses in the 170 range are lifting? LoL

It's all about the relative strength, yo.

 

[Behemoth]

Yeah, I really hate the relative strength argument because I feel that it minimizes the weight that some of the bigger guys are pushing.

If you start evaluating things on weight, then should also consider how long someones arms are, how long their legs are...those factors would effect the weight their lifting also.

Of course, I weigh 289...so I never have liked the relative weight argument.

 

[Guinness5.0]

Of course, I weigh 289....

Well how's about you tell us your lifts?

 

[Behemoth]

I'm 36...I weigh 289...I'm 6'2...

I only do 3/4 deads, and I havent done squats in year because of my knees...

I'm benching 315 for 12

And 225 for 22 at the end of my workout.

I cutting naturally right now.

front squating 345 is beastly

 

[blut wump]

Agreed, down with the relative weight argument. You should add your bodyweight to the weight on the bar for a working total.

LoL The relative strength bit was a joke. It just makes small guys feel good 'bout themselves. Lol We need something to get us through the day.
