    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.

    Tonight is routine "a" and we shall see how it goes.

    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)

    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
    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:

    I don't powerlift and don't max out...but every year when the NFL combine rolls around I like to test myself to see where I am. I turn 40 this year and I think I'm still doing good enough to be a potential undrafted free agent RB :)

    225 lbs Bench: 18 times
    Vertical: 29"
    Broad Jump: 119"
    40-yd dash: 4.76 seconds

    OHP is a b!tch. Bench - check your form as this is why people stick on it a lot. That, plus we (women) are proportionately weaker on our upper half - with your OHP number you should be able to get your bench higher.

    What is hitched DL?

    Where you basically get it above your knees, can't lock it out and then do this awkward bouncing sort of motion to get it locked out.

    Sara: I forgot that some people don't touch their chest when benching. From my experience a pause seems to drop max by about 10%. Different for different people though.

    I forget. Is hitching illegal in powerlifting?

    That sounds like a great way to pull a back muscle.

    Its basically where you pause it, even for a split second, on your thigh as you pull (you get an advantage that way). You can tell usually if the fabric of your shorts/pants ruches (sp) up under the bar as there is downward pressure on the thigh.

    I need to start throwing in some paused bench reps. Some comp federations are stricter than others re the pause - some are ok as long as there is no bounce and others require a distinct pause from what I can tell.

    Hmm.

    While everyone is here, I have a question. When I deadlift, it feels like the biggest factor in my lift is my lower back. Is this normal? Is it because it is the weakest component?

    It is not allowed.
