Progress and style

Seeing all the controversy on the boards lately I think people should post what kind of weight they lift, their own bodyweight, and what system they use. Then we can see what kind of result they have gotten one month from now... Oh and make sure if you state whether you are on 'gear ' or not, any one down???
 
I'm down, but Im reducing my calories at the beginning of february... so my gains will be significantly less than what they would be if I was doing more of a bulk..
 
since I started it...

Incline bench= 255 x 6
Flat bench= 275 x 8 after incline
Deadlift= 315 x 6
Bentover rows= 205 x 10
Chin-ups= BW x 12
Squats x 315 x 8
SLDL= 155 x 12
calf raises= 200 x 20
shrugs= 225 x 20
military press= 135 x 10
closegrip= 205 x 6
babrell curl= 115 x 8

all at a bodyweight of 184, I know i have been neglecting core lift lately:( . Style= CNS+progressive overloading
 
so basically we are just posting stats before and after a contiguous 4 week period and posting your routine/diet?
 
jesus2, there has been a lot of discussion about Doggcrap, 5x5 and other styles... I figured the best way to end the debate with the least amount of flames was for people to represent their belief in a system by seeing how much they improve. Also it will help people make important decisions on how they want to train in the future if all participants are honest. Diet is not needed.

Drbones, hit up the stats bro
 
I dont do any max work.. but I can tell you what I do for reps...
I am using 5x5 right now....
I'm roughly 197 lbs at 5'10, im more into bodybuilding than powerlifting, so even though I know I can lift more, I'm more into progressive resistance...
I'm currently in about week 4 of the 5x5 system and most of my weights arent near plateauing
anyways here we go

Incline Bench 185 5x5 <--- highest I've tried.. Just started these 4 weeks ago
Flat Bench 230x5 <-- havnt flat benched in a few months
Flat Dumbell Bench 100sx5
Squat 235x5x5
Rack Deads, below knees, 2x365
Standing calf raises 520x10 -2 sets
SLDL 185x10x3
Bent Over Rows 170x8
Barbell curls 100x5x5
Skullcrushers 100x5x5
Wide grip chins BWx8
Close grip chins BWx10
Dumbell Military press 65sx5x5

Again, these are VERY squewed as I just try to progress most of these by 5 lbs a week

I'm reducing my calories and throwing three 20 minute post workout low intensity cardio in starting this week, so my results will be less than optimal, but I'm confident my strength will still increase.
 
My current stats & routine

My log book says

Incline DB=125 X 12
Flat bench= 315 x 5 after incline
Bentover rows= 245 x 10
Pull-ups= 50 x 12 (w/towels)
Squats= 225, 315, 405 x 10 (From week to week I go on either of these 3 weights to vary the growth in my legs.)
seated calf raises= 2 plates X 20-25........3 plates X 15
seated db shrugs=140 x 10
standing military press= 175 x 10
closegrip= 275 x 8.........once every 2/3 weeks
Comncentration curl= 50 X 10...........once every 2/3 weeks

I use a controlling approach in the gym. The cadence is always (or close to ) 1,2,3 down...1,2 up. Sometimes I draw it out even more when the weight it lighter. I lift one major body part per week (legs, chest, back, shoulders). I do not often even do arms. Once every 2 to 3 weeks. I do abs 2 times per week w/ a medicine ball. Back extensions done 2 times per week w/light weight (25). Calves done 3 times per week. Forearms done 3 times per week. My weight fluctuates from 225 to 235.
 
Currently doing a Westside barbell routine, these are my recent numbers after a little layr-off because of hockey season.
Deadlift---335X5 max 405
box squat 225---10sets of 2-3 reps
Bench (this is sad) 225

My main focus was on sport specific training (hockey), therefore I didnt do a whole lot of bench, bis and what not. Now I have switched up my focus to putting some serious mass and strength on. Never have used gear, but plan on doing a 6 week Pro-hormone cyce, soon, than after a little maintaining, Ill get beach ready.....Ill update ever 2 weeks or so.
 
LOL... my #'s are too embarassing to post.

When I came off from a cracked spine injury in 97' I weighed 168 pounds @ 6-4. I was doing 1 pull up and benching 40lb dumbells for 5. Still embarrassed to post your #'s Bullit?

bent laterials 25 4x10-12

well thats it, i weigh 165-168, im not on steriods. my doctor said since im producing testosterone i shouldnt take them.. so i guess ill do what NS did, wait till i cant get any bigger naturally then take them.. i dunno, it all depends..

i dunno what you wanna call my 'method' of training.. i like it, most of the people on this board dont.. which is fine.. doesnt bother me..

each week i try to add weight or reps, which i think is the right way. and i use alot of negatives, forced reps, sometimes a superset or two.. or cut down the rest time. i mix it up all the time.. its kinda hard to explain, but, it works really good.
 
Bit hard for me to post since I rarely do some exercises for more than couple of months before I dump them and change over to something else. I do come back to them later down the line though.

And I never go to near failure, most of the time, so who knows how strong I am in most exercises.

YOu forgot to mention what routine your currently on :p

lol. Yeah I forgot to mention I am in the middle of a fighting regiment. Boxing 3x a week on a restricted carb diet. also i work from 7pm-7am 4-5times a week. So I lift EOD and on everyday I don't lift weights....

CoolColJ post what you work with and then post result every week so people can see the results, that goes for everyon as well.

Give stat's people like height and weight;)
 
IMO, the very nature of this question means at the end it is going to look like the powerlifter styles are the best (since we are merely comparing weight lifted before to weight lifted later).

But here goes nothing just for fun.

5'5"
145 lbs

Rock Bottom Squat - 3x150, 1x175 (easy though)
Flat Bench 3x165, 1x175 is the most I've done in training lately (195 a month ago)
Seated DB Press - 8x30
Incline DB Press - 8x50
I change my program up every 3 to 4 weeks so its hard for me to track any movement for more than a couple weeks in my logs.
 
Hey there, I'm new here :)

Anyway, just to provide a little variety, since most of you guys are tracking strength, I'll track bodypart measurements. I mean, heck, that's what all us bb-ers are going for anyway, right? I'll throw up some RM's just to help us weak guys feel okay.

Height: 5'11"
Bodyweight: 161
*****************
waist: 30.75
R. Upper Arm: 13 3/4
L. Upper Arm: 13 5/8
R. Forearm: 12
L. Forearm: 11 5/8
Neck: 15
Chest: 39
Shoulders: 46 1/4
R Thigh: 21 3/4
L Thigh: 21 5/8
R Calf: 15
L Calf: 15
Hips/Glutes: 37.5

5RM's:
Flat Bench: 155
Pullups: Bdywt + 30
SLDL: 235
Squat: 155

Anyway, this thread is quite convenient because I just started my 3rd HST cycle on monday. Four weeks should put me halfway through the cycle, with decent gains.

I can do right now ...

Military - 185
Bench - 285
Squat - 275
Dead - 335
Barbell rows - 205 for 2
Dips - 8 with 80 lbs attached

I was 171 this past Monday.

I expect my squat to be 300 soon. Bench should be 300 soon too. Dead, i want it to be 365 soon.
