Your Max Bench, Dead, Squat ?

sk* said:


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.

-sk


Once again just because you could not accomplish those lifts at that weight and height does not mean others can't. I repeat there will always be people bigger, faster, and stronger than you.
 
I just remembered a guy I used to train with. He was in his early 30's, 5'5", and around 135lbs, and he used to bench clean sets on 225lbs, and he was completely natural (unless you count all the weed he smoked)

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;)

CNS training method being heavy, non failure sets with reps between 1-4 i take it?

sounds good....your numbers are where i want to be by the end of the year/next year (thats a dream scenario thouhg it never quite works out like that)

last 1RM i did on bench was 240lbs, its gone p since but i dont know by how much. squat and deads would have gone down due to injury

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.

WOW. I'd like to pick their brains.

Exactly, most sets are to 3 reps. nonfailure and steady weight loading with plenty of rest between sets. Wait and watch for the next few weeks ;) , I am planning on some real gains in size and strength.

P.S. my flat bench has gone through the roof due to working on Inclines and close-grip

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.

I suppose. I don't get embarassed by my numbers usually, even if my upper body is a little low at times. There are a lot of guys at my gym who are a lot stronger, and those who are weaker, but they are there to get in shape and they are trying and making progress, and that's what matters. I respect anyone who is making an effort to progress, even if they have a 100 lb 1RM. At least they're busting their ass. We all started somewhere :)

I remember when I was maxing at 95 lbs when I first started...
