What's everyone's????

[Lord_Suston]

True lifting stats???? Try not to give maxes, but weight you work out with and how many reps. I'm just curious to see how strong some people are, and also include weight. example;
squats 245 for 15, and 315 for 10
incline dumbells 80 for 12 (@190lbs bodyweight)
I want to hear from everyone, honestly please thanks elite members...

 

[DR. NOE]

Okay bro, I do all sets using either four or six reps. I like to start off heavy while my energy level is high. I get tired before getting to the heavy shit if I go in reverse.

Deadlift 550 lbs x 6 4 sets
Squat 380 lbs x 6 rock bottoms 6 sets
Bench 400 x 6 for 1 set, 370 x8 for 2 sets

Dr.Noe you are one big dude, how much you weigh???

 

[DR. NOE]

Not that big really, my bodyweight ranges between 200 and 210 lbs. I have been lifting for a very long time and people are usually shocked to see me move so much weight. It's funny because I see steroid users with larger and more muscular bodies, but they seemed to lack true power.

 

[Lord_Suston]

I'm relatively strong the only problem i find when i lift is i use a slow cadence and pause, so this really hinders the weight I use but on the up side i have never had an injury from lifting.
Got deads 275 for 10 I could've done more but my grip failed....

 

[DR. NOE]

Lord Suston, just keep on working deadlifts, your grip will improve guickly and so will your overall power.

 

[Lord_Suston]

Dr. Noe do you use the thumb under grip? cause right now I use the end of my hands, like when you flex your hand to do a palm strike the bar sits in the groove of my fingers. Or when it gets real heavy I use an over and under grip whole hand too. Thanks for the reply before...

Fingers and thumb are both wrapped around bar. One hand over and one under, just like you. Just remember to switch hands so that one side will not be stronger then the other arm.

 

[Lord_Suston]

really??? I do the first set with both over then the next with both under then I switch right under-left over and then the reverse for the next set.

1st set 135 for 15
2nd 225 for 15
3rd 275 for 10-12
4th 185 for 12

I use a narrow stance with my head always up and kness bent untill the top.

 

[DR. NOE]

That may be a good plan, for me, I feel like my grip is better with one over and one under. Actually doing them overhanded would be better becuase both arms would be doing the same amount of work.

 

[Lord_Suston]

On squats do you warmup then go right to the heavy stuff??? cause it takes me about 3-4 sets to get up there. I go past parrallel so I warmup my knees and hips. I figure by the end of this semester I will have hit 405 for 10, I also try not to use a belt.

 

[DR. NOE]

I do one warm up set at 180 pounds for 20 reps and straight to the heavy stuff from there. Next are leg presses, leg curls, leg ext, hip abductors. No warmup at all.

 

[Lord_Suston]

hmmmmmmmmmm. I'm currently doing squats at
45 for 20, 135 for 20 245 for 15 and 315 for 10-12 then 225 for 18reps.

then leg ext, calves and then stiff legged deads

Sounds like you should drop some of the lighter weights. Remember small weights build small muscles and they can also take away some of your gas preventing you from moving the heavier weights. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

[Lord_Suston]

maybe i should drop the first set, it is just really cold in my basement untill april. Soon my school gym will be open again...

 

[Grantsdu]

Bench press I do 5 sets generally. set one I do 12 reps of 185, set 2, 8 reps of 205, set 3, 5 reps of 225, set 4 3 reps of 245 and set 5, 3 reps of 250 or 260, depending on how I fell. I have never done much squats or anything like that. I have started here in the last couple of weeks though. Normally do 3 or 4 sets of 10 around 185 or so. I know thats not much bu my legs are still sore!!
I'm 21 and weigh 135!, I'm a little shit!!!

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

Noe, whats up with such a big difference between your squats and deads? Just curious, injured?

 

[Infamy]

Squat: 415 pounds for 4 reps.

 

[Thaibox]

Currently off cycle my 1rep maxes are 500# dead, 405# bench, 275#military, ***# squat(embarassingly low) . Not really heavy stuff, but I lift at a weenie gym, so I'm the big fish in the pond.

 

[Sebass67]

sounds like u are/were only working your upper body....

 

[Thaibox]

No, I have two piece of crap knees from fighting for many years. I try my best to keep my legs up to par because I know the importance of leg training, but I'm very limited on the weight I use, otherwise they just fail. I've had my right leg buckle on me several times. I don't dig the idea of this happening with a barbell bending over my shoulders. I never squat more than 225#, I just try to go for high reps but they still hurt like m'f'rs. I'm hopefully getting a second and final surgery done on my right(the worst) this summer.

Those are for rock bottoms, I think even if you use good form, you still can screw up your knees when going to heavy on rock bottoms, so I stop at 380. If going to parallel, my squat is 520 lbs. My legs however usually get more sore doing the rock bottoms, but I do switch back and forth.

 

[GreekGodGenetics]

squats 275 for 15, and 315 for 12
incline dumbells 65 for 12
