    Bench: 75lbs 4x8
    Squat: 85lbs 4x8
    DL: 85lbs 4x8

    I'm only about a month in but I want to start doing higher weight lower reps; I'll get there. I haven't tried my max yet.

    I don't know if its good or bad because I hadn't lifted since high school but I did 3 sets of reps on the free weight leg press at 300 lbs? I was going to add more but I chickened out because that just seemed to heavy :p But I know that particular lift allows more weight because its centralized just on the legs... Goal today is to see if I can beat that... :)

    A 1RM, or one rep max, is the heaviest amount of weight you can lift for a single rep. Usually tested as the best out of three attempts so as not to exhaust your body with a lot of warm up sets. Some people use their training max though, the highest single rep weight they get to during their working sets, which is a pretty conservative estimate of their true 1RM.

    54 year old man, 228 lb. bodyweight, pulled a (easy) 400 lb. deadlift last friday. You couldn't wipe the grin off my face the rest of the day. I wanna shoot for a double bodyweight (~450 lb.) in the near future.

    27 years old 220lbs 6ft 1 (just over 8 months into training)
    1RM

    BENCH - 420lbs
    DEADLIFT - 440lbs
    SQUAT - 460lbs
    CLEAN & PRESS - 280lbs
    STRICT (BACK AGAINST THE WALL) BARBELL CURL - 165lbs

    The squat needs working on as I only got a squat rack back in late January (I was home training on a tight budget mainly). I used to carry my 230lb cousin up & down my stairs as my main workout for legs beforehand. Also had a work related lumbar injury which hindered the deads but no use complaining just fight the f*** on!

    Currently training to enter the pro powerlifting circuit in the UK. Doing my first semi-pro contest this weekend

    I'm not particularly strong but for my size (5'6") I do OK.

    Max-

    Bench- 225x5
    Squat- Cant do them due to back issues but I can leg press 600+
    Deads- Never do to much because of back issues but I can get 385x4 without pain if I don't do it often.
    Curl- ~100 on a straight bar for a couple reps

    Yep. Mine are training maxes thrown in at the end of my usual working sets.

    We've all got our strengths brother. Originally I was aiming for ripped like yourself but a long the way I felt strength became my real focus above all. But you don't get a physique like yourself without damn hard work so don't sweat it, you should see what some of my hopefully future pro competitors are lifting! I'm barely starting to crawl compared to them lmao

    Started Stronglifts on 4/1/13...

    Squat 110
    OH 45
    Bench 50
    Rows 70
    Deadlift 150

    I've had to deload and been stuck on OH & bench for, well since forever it seems like. I did start out with a 25lb bar.

    Before I got put into the hospital by extreme illness, my best lifts were:

    C&J - 165lbs (75kg)
    Snatch - 135lbs (60kg)
    Back Squat - 210lbs (92.5kg)
    Front Squat - 178lbs (80kg)
    Clean Shrug - 225lbs (105kg)
    Snatch Pull - 178lbs (80kg)

    I love lifting, and I'm definitely trying to work back to these numbers!! The road is a long one, though. The struggle is real!! lol x)

    Interesting that you are near 1:1 on the big three. Most are either stronger in pull or pressing.

    just to clarify, are we all talking about comp legal lifts here? ie. paused bench, at least parallel squat and a no hitch DL.

    My bench is not paused (no bounce though and touching chest so would be ok for some), the others are comp legal including no knee action on the OHP :smile:
