Let’s hear it!

Post your MAX 1RM on all your main lifts, Bench, Deads, and Squats, put in your frame size along with weight. Everyone’s curious so let’s have a stats background on all your lifts.

Dead 340
Squat 285
Bench 305

Height 5"10'
Wieght 193 lbs
 
JollyRoger, you're benching more than you're squatting, crazy.

Bench - 225
Squat - 275
Dead - 335

6'0", 183 lbs.

I'm a Newbie. ;)
 
Bench - 270
Squat - 325 poor form
Deadlift - 305 poor form

6', 190 lbs. Working on proper form thanks to this board.
 
just a rough guess

I don't really max out much but i will psot the closest i can do
bench 335x5 about 2 monthst ago
Dead 500x2 a few weks ago
Squat 335 5x5 two days ago, past parallel, most likely if I did one set it would be around 365+ for about 5

5/15

5'7-8 189
 
Last bench PR (raw - PL style) 265lbs
Dead - 475lb raw (No belt or straps)
Box squat - 350lbs raw.


Goals:
315x3 -or- 315 w/bands
Deadlift - 500lbs raw
Squat - 405 raw


Joker
 
Bench 100kg (220lbs)
Squat 120kg(264lbs)
Deadlifts 150kg(330lbs)

the squat and deadlifts are very conservative estimates as I have not done much of either in the past few months...bad i know!

5ft 11ins 184lbs
 
right now im 5'10, 255ish.

bench - 250 x 8
squat - 315 x 8
st leg deadlift 315 x 8

so maybe i could????
Bench - 280
squat - 365
deadlift - 405.

just guessing.

I'd say closer to 300-320 for bench, 380-400 for both squats and deads... Only estimates though, which we know are meaningless until you actually test them :)
 
Bench, 315.
Squat, 295.
Dead, 375.

I haven't tested my squat in ages. I will fairly soon, and am sure I'll be able to hit 315. My bench as of about 5 weeks ago, was 300. Dead was about 5 weeks ago as well.

5'9. 170 lbs.

By July, I'm hoping to hit 315 again on bench, 315 on squat, and 405 deadlifting.
 
all raw, i never even tired a belt on :)

squat - 365x2
deadlift - 405, rack deadlift - 405x3-4
bench press - 355

not bad considering my age and height and weight :D
 
jeez lord sust. i;'d hate to be on the receieving end of one of your punches...

how long u been training? you follow a powerlifting type routine i take it...
 
ah, why not.


Bench - 275 for 7 - 1RM last tested at 305 over three years ago
Squat - 335 (5x5) - 1 RM unknown since I've been going past parellel
Dead - 450 no chalk, 480 with.

All Raw (no belts, I'm just a recreational bber)

5'11" 190lbs
 
MOST RECENT FIGURES BEFORE MY CURRENT TRANSFORMATION
BENCH 265
SQUAT 315
I NEVER DO DEAD LIFT BUT I'D SAY 275

HOPING TO MAX OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
THESE ARE MY GOALS
BENCH > 290
SQUAT > 365
DEAD = 275 GUESSING
 
Squat 350
Bench 200
Deadlift 400

5'9" 178lbs

Just so you can see what a belt, equipment, and chalk can do, here are those numbers:

Squat 400
Bench 270
Deadlift 430

...almost a 200 pound difference in total.

wow!!! thats frickin amazing...my squats 185-- would a belt really help??? I sorta thought using it was like cheating (no offense).
 
Oh, let's see....

Squat: 245
Bench: 175
Dead: 315

5'4", 125lbs

That's it, nothin' to sneeze at; and still workin' for higher PR's. ;)
 
MsBev, I hear that alot, and to an extent I agree with you. IMO, cheating is breaking the rules. When I compete, the rule is that I can use certain types of equipment, and so do. Actually the rules say I can use a double layer brief and a double layer suit at the same time to squat. My squat, however was done in a single ply suit. So I haven't taken full advantage of the rules yet, but as I progress, I probably will.

I do consider it cheating when reporting numbers though. That's why I specifically asked for clarification at the top of the thread. I benched a 270 in competition, but I'm not ballsy (or stupid) enough to think that I can do that raw. My raw bench is 70 pounds lower due to my bench shirt, a belt, and wrist wraps.

I will always admire the impressive numbers of a raw lifter...and I know some of my peers would argue with me on that. I swore that I would lift 1200 raw some day, and I didn't mean tomorrow, but I do think that would be nice. It's just something I need to prove to myself. I don't want to only be strong when my entire body is augmented with polyester, denim, spandex, chalk, leather, severe constriction......that's not me. That's just what I do for an even playing field at a comp. In the gym, I never use more than chalk and wrist wraps...occassionally my belt when going for a max PR.

Long story, short...I see your point, and for the most part you're preaching to the choir. :)

I just have the belt and wrist wraps for that. I wear a squat suit, but it's 2 sizes too big and just functions like a singlet. A tight suit pulls me forward.
 
damn spatts, I bet a lot of people impressed by your numbers dont even realize that you are a woman, very impressive...

Myself, 5'9", 235lbs 12%bf
dead 550lbs x 5 reps, 625lbs x 1
squat 445lbs x 5, 525 x 1(ass to the floor)
bench 405lbs x 1
All those are raw, no belt, straps, etc...
 
I havent tried for a max 1rm yet, but by the calculator on the husker website, here is what they would be.

This is for the newbs that are scared of posting because of the huge numbers already put up.

6'3" 171.8 lbs (this morning before breakfast)

190 flat bench
210 box squat (just below parallel)
250 dead

Nothing added, just baggy sweat pants and a t-shirt, not even chalk.

Dont be afraid to post, even if a 5'4" 125 lb girl can lift more than you!:bawling:

Agreed. Exodus, 8 @ 250 oughta translate to getting 3 wheels up once. You should get at least 2 with 280, IMO.

Hard to say on a regular deadlift, but 8 SLDL with 315 is pretty good--probably close to 405 in the conventional style. You should try it in the near future :)
 
Haven't maxed in about a year an a half but.

Bench 385x2
Squat 505
Deads 525

I have two screwed up vertebra in my lower back so I always use a belt on max effort.

Best no belt

squat 465x2
dead 465x6

6'2"
265 then am 295 now.

Cheers,

Right now I am following 5x5, but in the past I use a CNS training method. My punches are hard but most people comment on my acceleration to my target. I almost literally sprint at the person and then punch;) ... Soon I will be training for more punching power and speed since they are correlated... This couple with a good foot work program this summer should make me look like Mikey tyson, except the whole ear thing;)
 
Bench-280
Deadlift-405
Squat-270-blah to knee surgery but I'm recovering and feel confident in saying that I can probably at another 20lbs to this number next week.
 
Most of these numbers people say really are worthless as I berely even see anyone squatting right and some of them just plain out lie.

I see relatively big guys (not huge but with 18-19inch arms, etc, etc) squatting by just by berely bending their knees. Not to even mention I have been pretty much the only guy attempting a deadlift in both my home gym and my school gym.

I never see any of the biggest of the big guys in my college gym (and believe me there are quite a few, specially some of the seniors) squat or deadlift. Also, when they bench they never come close to the numbers mentioned on this board.

It's funny cause when people show their pictures (maybe they look good) but i've seen way bigger guys that can't even come close to the numbers that are thrown here.

This isn't an attack to anyone in particular as I am sure some of you aren't lying about your numbers, but threads like this either turn into misconceptions or just plain old lies.

-sk
 
Oh and before anyone jumps on my case and says something like "there are very small guys that bench three times their weight" I want to point out that that is very rare and I doubt 70% of elite is like that. :rolleyes:

-sk
 
I don't find the numbers to be unbelievable - most of the posts are in the 200's and 300's, just a few 400's and 500's. I've seen videos of some of these guys lifting.

Some of the squats might not be low enough to pass a contest, but you can't fake a deadlift - unless you're just lying about the number. But to what end?
 
If anyone has lied thus far on the thread, then they have serious problems, because this is an internet dicussion forum. If you think you have to look like a badass on the internet ... please, leave ...

I was just giving my opinion on the matter. Cheating on deads is easy, all you have to do is not keep proper form.

Maybe I am just weak, but I am 6'3 230lbs+ with 4pack showing very nicely and kinda faded 6pack and I can't attempt some of those squats. Oh did I mention I have 28+inch quads?

Another thing I see all the time is on the bench press, going down half way then back up again. Like a 2/3 board press but no boards.
 
Nothing but a belt for heavy squats and deads.

Bench 370 lbs
Squat 435 lbs
Dead 425 lbs

I'd 243 @ around 18% bodyfat, working down to around 10-12%.
 
hey with a deadlift, if you take it from the floor to lockout, anyway you can it counts - stiff legged or squatted up, it does't matter :)

Since when is 18-19" arms not huge? :D

Size does not equate to strength.
 
No shit. I have 28 inch quads and a 6 pack, and I have no trouble squatting at all.

I have 17 years of sprinting to thank for that, though.

(note to self, don't piss off Spatts)

I don't max because I don't have a spotter so I'll tell you my closest equivalent. I'm rehabbing a knee so my weight is hopefully going to be substantially higher over the next couple of months. I have no spotter either for what that's worth. I'm a man of excuses I guess.

Bench-5 reps w/ 245
Squat-6 reps w/ 275
Deadlifts-3 reps w/ 295 two days ago.

It doesn't sound like much but I'm proud, especially with squats and deads because last month I could only do 120-150 on both of these lifts. Thanks for the motivation by the way because a lot of it came from here. Especially the person who suggested the Rocky 4 soundtrack;)

Honestly, I wouldn't post it if I couldn't prove it because unfortunately, sk* is right. It is way to common for lying to take place on the internet. Not just here, but everywhere.

Well I can't really prove my numbers as I have no vids :) but I can say I've been deadlifting and squatting for years, and it took me a long time to get to those numbers. Hoping to get to a 500 dead and 405 squat by the end of this year.

And would someone lie about a 215 bench? :)

Maybe not, but would you go as far to say there is no corrolation between strength and size? I doubt it.

Some of these numbers seem way off for their sizes. Maybe it's just me.

When I was 180ish and 6'3 I couldn't bench 90lbs (infact I have had it come down my throat and needed help to pull it up after 4reps), but there are people with those stats who claim to bench 225+ .... so you can see why it is hard for me to grasp that.

Like I said before, there are always exceptions to the rule but those exceptions are rare. One exception is that little 6 year old kid who benches 200lbs (3times+ his bodyweight), but as everyone here will realize that is a very rare case.

Edited to add: When I was 183lbs and 6'3 I always thought I could squat about 275. I always had the 2plates and then the 25's on each side, but now looking back my form was a joke. I think a lot of the people here suffer from this, ego gets to their head. If you guys have videos or actually know what you are doing, this is obviously not towards you ... but some of these numbers for their sizes sounded absolutely riddiculous to me.

When I started training I felt embarrased about my numbers and would have even lied about a 135lbs bench. I always felt somewhat embarrased so I ignored threads like this, but if someone had asked me straight forward I would not have said I bench 90lbs for 4.

Yea spatts, maybe you could but how many females do you think are in the whole world with 28inch squads (this is the same size as Arnold's quads)? Like I said before, I am not going after the few exceptional numbers as I am pretty sure you use proper form for your lifts but not all these people do.

-sk
 
sk thats not neccessarily true though, because i happen to be 6'3 and 185 right now, and i can bench 235 for 1, no problem. Thats up from benching about 140 1 1/2 years ago. Although i feel weak when it comes to squats, max is probly about..... 250-260.
 
None of these numbers are unbelievable.......I am sure in some cases a little exaggerating/estimating takes place, but for the most part, why would someone lie on a discussion board, you're sitting on a computer where nobody friggin even knows who you are........and you're here for help, so why lie?? That being said, I spent 4 years in a college weightroom, with srength coaches up your ass about form, and NONE of these numbers are unreal to me, if anybody thinks these posts are totally ridiculous, they either have piss poor genetics, have no determination or drive in the gym, or have never trained ayplace but Balley's Total Fitness....or all of the above.........

That being said, my best lifts are:

Bench (435 Raw)
Squat (Box Squat 500 with a belt.....Full ATF w/ a belt 500, I've done closer to 6 parallel, but these are what I choose to use as PR's)
Deadlift (585x2 with a belt and chalk)

I'm 5'11", my weight goes between 250-270 usually, and I have a big frame.......my pics of myself on a thread here were taken with a kodak picture disk, so if anyone has a problem with my height/weight , please refer to them, but I plan on getting a digital camera, and going to the gym early some morning and getting some training pics taken on some PR attempts within the next 6 or 8 weeks, so that will take care of that.

Do you bring the bar down to your chest?
Do you actually do the pushing or does the spotter do rows?

I've spotted a bunch of people since i've been training and all they do is bring it half way down and then hope that I will be able to pull it up.

Being 5'11 270lbs and benching 435 lbs is a lot more different than 6'3 185lbs and benching 235lbs.

Please don't talk about determination as I haven't ever missed a single workout since i've been lifting, berely ever cheat on my diet, and my genetics are fine (maybe not the best but they are sufficient).

As much as id love to post a video, I dont have a camera, so your gonna have to take my word for it, and yes the bar comes down to my chest, withoout any assistance from my training partner. Chest just happens to be my best bodypart, along with shoulders.

Like I said this isn't a personal attack towards anyone and if you can do it than more power to you. One thing I have learned though is that to be 6'3 means you have very long arms and, therefore, have to do more work to push the weight up ... I have seen a handfull of guys at 6'+ and 180ish who don't come close to benching 135lbs.

-sk
 
well the fact that you dont believe me is actually motivational, as I never saw it as something impressive so thanks:D

If i ever do get a camcorder though ill b glad to post a vid....of course by then ill probly be doing 275
 
How about 5'10" and 165-185 and benching 225?? and being a freshman in high school? or 198 as a senior with a 500(no gear and high as I would go)605(with gear) and 315 bench with a 550 deadlift?? did it- been there- try harder.
 
sk* - I don't see why the 185 lb. guy benching 235 is that hard to believe. Hell, I started training 3 months ago, I'm only 183 but I can push 225 for one without any spot at all. This is a raw lift, no equipment, some leg drive, touch and go. 225 is not really that much weight. I have pretty big quads naturally, but I squatted 225 for 5 reps the first time I ever squatted....and yes, those were atf.

Anyway, I'll be maxing again in a few weeks, I'd be happy to take a video and post it up.
 
Here was my picture when I was 225lbs, it was taken in september:
http://www.athernigy.com/skpic.jpg

Here was my pic at 183lbs:
http://www.athernigy.com/skinnyme.jpg

I am 6'3 in both pictures.

I remember in the 225lbs picture I was doing incline bench with 185lbs for 6 and in the second picture I couldn't even incline 65lbs.

There is about a year or year and a half between those two pictures. So can you guys see now why I am skeptical?

I really don't think I look bad at all in the 225lbs picture, but since then I have added another 10lbs of lbm and still don't make some of the claims I saw on this thread.

Maybe I have sucky genetics, but I doubt that was it.

I'm 6', 190 lbs and I benched 270. I've posted videos of doing a decline bench of 275 and a 2 board decline of 305, so I don't think a 270 flat bench is hard to believe.

http://216.171.173.34/misc/275Decline.mpg

http://216.171.173.34/misc/2BoardDecline.mpg

In high school, long, long ago, I did a 275 squat at a bodyweight of 150. In all fairness, it probably wasn't low enough, but the coach in my PE class passed it and gave me an "A" in the class. He was impressed 'cause nobody liked to squat. My max bench at the time was 185. If only I had lifted consistently since then! I would be an unbelievable monster.

No, I don't smoke.
 
All this talk makes me want to go test my maxes again! And videotape them for the doubters.

Don't be discouraged by the numbers posted here - be inspired to improve. Find your weaknesses and work them hard.

My friend last summer at a bodyweight of 190 at 6'2" I benched 250x4(personally I don't find this impressive). I don't quite understand why you are so defensive about taller leaner people putting up more weight than you. You are not the picture perfect mold of what someone should be doing at a given height. There are ALWAYS people bigger, faster, stronger than you. My best friend maxed out at 330 with a body weight of 165. That number may seem strange to you but if you could see my friend with his shirt off you would very much believe it. My point is this. Don't worry what other people can or can't do and just focus on yourself. If these people are lying then let them lie it doesn't do anything to you.
 
I've seen a 165 guy bench 550, and is close to 600 at 181, I've trained with a guy at 220 benched 733, at 275 benched 735, at 242 benched 728, on ME days I train with 2 thousand pound squatters and have trained with 4 at one time, one being at 220, I've seen a 800lb deep gm with a cambered bar by a man that was 340 and around 6'4", I've also witnessed a 933 deadlift and a 1100+ pound squat, spotted a woman that benched 450, a woman that benched 330 at 132, and a 52+ year old that can pull over 700 at 220, strength is not that uncommon at my gym.

DBC...some people limit themselves. That's what separates us. Let the herd thin.

Limit myself? You have got to be shitting me. I have never ever missed a workout, all I do is think about the gym, I berely ever miss meals and if I do I try to make them up with a protein shake. Yea I limit myself. I actually went from a skinny 183lbs to a bulked up 258lbs in less than 2years, yes I limit myself.

Also I don't wanna hear this guy did this or this guy did that, yea like I said there is a 6year old kid who benches 200lbs. It's very impressive but it is rare. I am very impressed if the guy can bench 235 at the bodyweight of 185 and 6'3, but like I said before ... I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO IT IN PERSON.

Why does everyone take everything offensively? I have the right to state my mind. :rolleyes:

Since DBC's post was obviously refered to me, yes I think it is safe to assume you were refering to me by saying "some people limit themselves." :rolleyes:

It's never "safe" to assume.

DBC, Liftbig, and others that train with the best of the best...the exceptions beyond exception...have a very skewed idea of what the norm is capable of. I'm guilty of this too. I was simply telling DBC that those numbers, while motivating, are not typical. Most people will never do that. His perception of reality and reality are not one.

At the same time, I believe that if more people didn't limit themselves, we'd find the norm performing at a much higher level.
 
Most people didnt believe I could lift what I said I could either, especiialy my deadlift strength, but once I posted some videos they pretty much shut up.....

Yours is a little different since you have a picture up in your avatar that actually looks very strong ...

The numbers you posted look normal for your size, I just find some of these numbers difficult to believe since I was no where close to them at their size and some now too.

Spatts,

Everyone assumes, it is a part of life ... weather you want to or not all of our thoughts are assumptions. I just made the assumption based on what I saw since his comments were directed at me and you jumped in and said "some people limit themselves." I'm sorry if I jumped into wrong conclusions.

these threads are always a recipe for trouble.

DBCooper; you trained with 2000 pound squatters? holy fucking shit!! or did you mean two guys that can squat 1000 pounds each? (again, holy fucking shit)

As for my strength, I had a 540lb single on the dead, raw, when I was 180lbs, so it can be decieving
