I am guessing 255. I mean, look at the pic! LOL! That ain't 155lbs.0 -
Just as a PSA, for everyone doing "the big three" (and for those who are not quite sure what that is - Bench Press, Dead Lifts and Back Squats) please please please consider a hip mobility | hip flexibility routine as well as a shoulder flexibility routine.
It might not seem like a big deal now, but get one year into this and just let the weight on the bar start to climb a little bit.....you can thank me now! My 50yo VERY DAMAGED body (from high school and college sports) thanks me each time I do my routine.
Taylor Chamberlain has a really nice hip flexibility routine on her YouTube channel. Find one that works for you.....I like her's (but I will admit - I do kinda 'fanboy' on her videos....).
My secret is out! LOL!
Hope that everyone had an amazing and blessed Thanksgiving!0 -
Squat - 450lbs
Deadlift - 500lbs
Bench - 270lbs
Shoulder Press - 200lbs
I love doing heavies, wouldn't be able to bench that much now, tore my rotator cuff in the most stupidest way.........opening a door......not my proudest moment.0 -

Currently 185 lbs, maxes are recent and for this body weight. Been struggling to get them back up after losing about 30 lbs, and starting another cut now. Dreaming of the day when I will be satisfied with my body weight and can just focus on building haha.
your quads appreciate your maxes ;-)0 -

Haven't maxed out in forever, and I'm currently in week 7 of 5/3/1, but my last maxes were:
Bench: 320
Squat: 455
Dead: 500
Bodyweight: ~230lbs
I'm very confident that my current numbers are above that. Just last week I was able to get 310x3 on bench, 435x5 squat, and 480x6 on deads
you are very similar to me, I am 240lbs going downwards, similar numbers, keep at it

Thanks, man! I am normally not the type to be in a category, either! But, I decided a few weeks ago to throw my hat in the Power Lifting ring so gonna do that for a bit. I plan on competing a few times (I do not feel that one should do anything just once.....too many potential variables to really have a solid understanding of something if you do it just once) and will see what's up then. I mean, starting at 50 might seem like a silly thing, but ask me how much I care about what others say or think! LOL!
And, yes - she is absolutely killing it. Much respect!0 -

50 isn't silly, its inspirational, a lot of fellas who are in their 20s lack the motivation to try something physically challenging, you will own it my friend, I am 30 and I intend to apply for a pro boxing licence next year, its only ever to late if ya decide not to do it at all, good luck!0 -
Sorry to bag on running... probably because I couldn't hack it and my feet broke down.... Never came close to your pace though.0

Halos with a Kettlebell or a plate are my preferred shoulder mobility drill0 -

Show off! Ha! Ha! Four plates on each side? DAYUM! Okay....okay.....working up to that. It might take a few weeks (he says, hoping that no one questions his bold faced lie!). My goal is three plates on each side. And maybe a little extra......but four plates? Squats and Dead Lifts....sure! Bench? No, sir!0 -

You will totally get there. You are getting close. For me, 180lbs on Squat was a milestone. And, at 200lbs, things start getting heavy (meaning: when you put the bar on your back and you walk out, I know that there is something on my back). You will totally get two big plates on each side for your squat. You already have it on the dead lift.
Are you following a program? Or, just doing?0
