    Damn, this thread makes me feel so weak. Great numbers y'all! I have never tried 1RMs, but these are my highest numbers during regular sets.

    Squat - 172lbs/ 68kg (x15)
    Bench - 140lbs/ 56kg (x10)
    Deadlift - 185lbs/ 74kg (x10)

    I'm 138pounds and 6'0" tall. I know, skinny AF and I need to up my game. Been working out for 2 years with a lot of gaps.

    If you want to feel strong, stop doing crazy amount of reps. Work closer to the 4-6 rep range and the increases in strength will occur much faster.

    Also, why are we bothering with really weird tiny plates? Haha, I'm sure there's some method to the madness but considering your volume, I don't think it's worth to time to scrouge up 1kg or 2.5lb discs in the gym.

    what's wrong with the cookies?

    I have to convince the guys that fail weights when they start jumping up in plates that there are OTHER weights available to them besides 45's and even 35's.

    I use 2.5lb biscuits ;)
    mmhmmm
    cookies or biscuits- I mean- I prefer cookies- but I'd take either.

    These are my current lifts rather than PBs which are pretty irrelevant at this point as they'd be years old.

    Weight: 89KG (196lbs) I've cut 5.5KG since February
    Age: 43 (for another week at least LoL)

    So as of the weekend:

    Deadlift: 190KG (419lbs) x 5
    Bench: 100KG (220lbs) x 4
    Squat: 130KG (287lbs) x 5 (I know this is low but I'm coming back from knee issues)

    I try and give weights and running equal focus so also run 5-7 times per week for 5-10K.

    I'd be interested to hear from other older lifters but at this point me biggest issue really is injuries. I'm constantly dealing with one thing or another juggling tendinitis or soft tissue damage to Achilles, Knees or shoulders (multiple tendons...)

    I had a nagging shoulder injury that just wouldn't go away even after I stopped benching for 2 months. Come to find out it was the horrible diet a diet coach put me on. I was only eating 1200 calories and I wasn't getting the proper nutrition for my shoulder to heal. I eat healthy, clean and currently consuming 1800 calories and haven't had any issues since. I'm 58 years old
