    I don't understand how as a relatively strong female, I can't bench more than 110-115 lbs. Everyone here who has squat and deadlift numbers close to mine can bench more than that.

    Never tested, but calcs put me at:

    Deadlift: 425
    Squat: 305
    Bench: 200

    Bodyweight: 173.
    Yeah, I'm still in the weak AF beginner stage. Ah well, just gotta keep at it.

    You're not weak dude, never say that first of all, you could work on your bench, but for your weight the bench is still impressive. You have awesome lower body and core strength though, my bench is 240 lbs but I can barely squat or deadlift for crap. I'd rather be in your position than mine lol.

    Deadlift: 425
    Squat:225
    Bench:225

    I've never attempted more than 225 for my bench or squat, I just rep for 10 and 8. When I started taking my health seriously again I set those numbers as goals and when I hit them I never had a 'what's next' moment so I stayed put.

    I'm feeling better than I ever have and starting to like the results in the mirror so I'm happy to stay at those numbers if things continue.

    You just lack a little upper body strength. How much do you weigh?

    I'm not a power lifter but am curious as to everyone's 1RM on squat/deadlift/bench

    Personally mines:
    170kg squat
    210kg deadlift
    120kg bench (4 reps, not tested 1rm)

    I started 3 months ago and my 5x5 is almost exactly half of your 1rm in all 3 lifts :smiley:

    80kg squat 5x5
    100kg deadlift 1x5
    60kg bench 5x5

    I don't test my 1rm, but I did a 4x6 routine after being sick this week. Squat 135(up to 145 5x5 when not sick/deloading), bench 90(usually 95-100), ohp 60-65, deads and hip thrusts 155. I alternate rows(85?) with flys or pullups. 5'3.5" 111-112 this week.(Down from 116 this summer when my lifts were higher).

    33/m/163

    Deadlift: 330
    Squat: 245
    Strict Press: 130
    Bench: 165
    Front Squat: 225
    Clean: 165
    Clean and Jerk: 155
    Snatch: 135
    Overhead Squat: 145

    All these were made recently at the end of a 35 pound cut, so hopefully they'll go up as I push through a recomp. Especially that Bench and Strict Press.

    19 y/o, 118 lb female

    The last I checked my 1RM were:
    Squats 195 lb
    Bench 100 lb
    Deadlift 135 lb
    Front Squat 135 lb
    Cleans 75 lb
    Snatch 75 lb

    I haven't tested in a year, so they're probably different now. Plus that was without training cleans, front squat, and snatch so now that I'm training them, they're probably higher. Gonna test new maxes after this cycle.

    New Updates:

    Squat: 235 lbs.
    Bench: 115 lbs
    Deadlift: 286.6 lbs.

    58 YO, 142 lbs.

    Those are crazy good numbers for any woman never mind a 58 year old. I know female athletes in their 20s who can't match those numbers.

    I don't test my 1RM for another 3 weeks, but here is what I currently do for 6 reps, at 3 sets; and for fun, I did a 1RM calculator). I am 178lbs.

    DL/Squat - 235lbs (Est 1RM 275)
    Bench - 155lb (Est 1RM 185)

    Following: Bigger Leaner Stronger. I am in week 5. With very little/inconsistent heavy lifting prior. I did 4 weeks of 5/3/1 until lift got in the way.

    After 7 weeks of Bigger Leaner Stronger my new 1RMs are...

    DL- 300
    Squat - 285
    Bench - 195
    OHP - 145 (only up from 135).

    So after all the drama, it turns out my 1RM is higher than estimated.... go figure.

    Another update. I haven't tested my 1RM in a long time, but here are my below amounts for reps (4 sets of 5 reps)

    DL - 305
    Squat - 265
    Bench -205
    OHP -135

    So for the most part, I took my 1RM and now do sets of them. Unfortunately, I recently had to stop lifting to be home with my wife during her 3rd trimester..But it's ok. Come January, I am starting PHAT.

    ^^^^^^^^ Congrats on the baby to be. Awesome times. Recovery from training (read: sleep) might just suffer a bit!

    And, cool that you are doing P.H.A.T. When I get to the Intermediate status I am so gonna do that. I love most things from Dr. Norton (even his attitude...well, sometimes not!).

    Well, I will chime in....

    50/M/208lbs
    Bench - 270lbs
    Squat - 305lbs
    Deadlift - 325lbs

    Really need to step my game up. Have never really followed a program and have been squatting and dead lifting for almost a year now (with two longer periods of inactivity inside of that year).

    Once I get back in the gym I am going to follow Strong Lifts 5x5 for some time and then move to Madcow for some time. And then move from that to PHAT (that is the plan, anyway). Hoping that these numbers shoot way up. Have not done bench with any consistency in the last year.

    @PowerliftingMom - I was looking at USAPL last night and am thinking about joining and competing. If you do not mind, might I PM you and ask you some questions about this federation? If you prefer not, all good. I will post a question regarding it. I do know that there is a section for each state (the one for North Carolina is in Denver, NC....which is down by Charlotte)
