The Big Three: What Are Your Maxes?

robrusleg

For those that don't know, The Big Three are the deadlift, squat, and bench press.

What are your maxes for the Big Three? And what are your strength goals for 2014?

I'll start:

Age: 21
Gender: M

Current Maxes:
Bench Press: 225 for 8 (Been neglecting chest for a while. Barely did 225 for 4 reps today)
Squat: 315 for 1, 245 for 1 for the front squat
Deadlift: 425 for 1 (only chalk was used)

Goals:
Bench Press: 335 for 1
Squat: 405 for 1
Deadlift: 495 for 1

Male / 22

Jan 2013 I was 120lbs
Jan 2014 I was 160lbs

Lifted weights for a couple years in high school without any real gains b/c I didn't know what I was doing.
Gave up for a year and decided to get back into it late 2012.
Bulked for a year starting at 3000 calories and was at 4500 by the end of it.
Currently have 2 weeks left in my cut and I'm at 147lbs.
I'll go down to 140ish lbs then bulk again.

Obviously my lifting stats aren't great but here they are.

Bench: 185 for 5 reps
Deadlift: 245 for 5 reps
Squat: 200 for 5 reps

That's pretty good! What's your height? I forgot to add in that I'm 5'9".

I was cutting, but since I hates the strength and size loss and I wasn't prepping for any shows, I decided to continue on a very slow and controlled bulk. My plan is to gain 1 pound a month for at least 10 months

Lehzer

I'm 5'10

Yea I plan to bulk slower next time around.
From April 2014 - April 2015 I want to go from 140 to 165 lbs

M, 24

Start Weight: 208 lbs
Current Weight: 199lbs

Started training real hard after an extended hiatus due to knee injury (couldn't run or lift for 6 months) in late November. It's been frustrating having to basically start over, but I'm getting results pretty fast.

Bench: 185lbs @ 8x3
Deadlift: 270lbs @ 8x3
Squat: 225lbs @ 5x3 my squat sucks, mostly feel like I am babying the knee still, afraid to wreck it again

I would like to be at:

Bench: 225lbs
Deadlift: 315lbs
Squat: 270lbs

by the end of summer. Based on current progress I have been having, feeling like that is pretty obtainable.

BP = 115lbs 3 reps
DL = 205lbs 1 rep
Back Squat = 165lb 3 reps


I've only been strength training for 8months, but I've been going to the gym for 10 years off and on not knowing jack, and was focused on cardio and machines, which I would lose interest in after a month or so, but only with discovering weight lifting, did I discover my love for the gym and iron.

BP 250x2
squat 250x2
Deadlift 250x2

Goal is to reach 300 on each. My legs should be stronger. I have no excuses there.

M, 57, 5'9"

BP = 155lbs 4 reps
DL = 315lbs 5 reps
Squat = 275lbs 5 reps

Those are all at least two months or longer ago. I went through two weeks of detraining in early March and have reset my working sets to 80% of where I was before the detraining. May take some time to get back to those numbers. Currently trying to maintain weight and do body recomp.

35, 6 feet, 250ish
Bench - don't know as I use dumbbells, use 150lb dbs for bench x 6, last time I actually benched was 320 x 10 but I don't have a spotter.
Deads - 580 - should do 6 pretty soon here.
Squats - 520 to just below parallel.

Good luck all!

Ever do rack pulls??? That will help your grip and deadlift out a ton.

5'11", 26 yrs old.
174 - 175 lbs

Bench : ??? Haven't tested anytime soon... but I'm hoping somewhere around 225+... It is my weakest lift by far. I was running Smolov so went all of last month with no benching and haven't tested in the months. Planning on testing Saturday, and if it is below 225, I'll probably just let the barbell drop and decapitate myself due to sadness ;(
Squat: 325
Dead: 405

Planning on retesting the big 3 this Saturday so I can recalculate post deload.

Galatea_Stone

I'm relatively wimpy.

5'7" F, 41, 132

Bench - 85 x 1
Squat - 145 x 1
Deadlift - 180 x 1

My goal is to simply get better stats, whatever they may be.

SideSteel

5'11" These maxes (gym PRs) were hit around BW 182-185. Currently a soft and injured 191. lol.

Bench: 290
Squat: 410
Deadlift: 415. And the 415 was attempted strictly to get me out of the "squat more than I pull" club.

LoveMyLife_NYC

I feel wimpy, but here goes...

30, F, 5'5", 131 lbs

Bench: 4x95
Squat: 5x140
DL: 5x145

I want to hit the advanced category in all three this year, so:

Bench: 125
Squat: 170
DL: 220

trojan_bb

These maxes were each hit in the gym (no competition) well in the past at lower bodyweight than I currently am at. I haven't tried a 1 or 3 rep max in a while.

Male, 25, 205lbs, 5'11.

Bench: 320x1 (bodyweight at the time was 195)
Squat: 475x2 (bodyweight around 190)
Deadlift: 575 at bodyweight of 185


My bench is probably about the same now. That deadlift was hit at 22 years old. Pretty sure I could knock out 650+ now. I've been rackpulling exclusively for years now. Slipped a couple discs on a deadlift warmup and have been avoiding it since.

25 year old, female, 165lbs

Current theoretical 1RM:
Squat - 190lbs
Bench - 100lbs
Deadlift - 245lbs

Goals for 2014:
Squat - 200lbs for reps (low but these have been a real struggle for me since hurting my back and shoulder so I'd just be happy to be back in the 200s again)
Bench - 125lbs
Deadlift - 300lbs

Sarauk2sf

Female (obviously I hope)
147lb for the pull, about 153 ish for the others.

Bench, paused: 140lb x 3 (have not benched singles for a while, except for at a meet in February where my bench sucked donkey spherical shapes)
Bench, not paused 160lb
Squat (to depth): 275lb
Deadlift: 325lb (pulled at APA West Coast meet last November).

Goals for 2014:

Deads - at least 350lb (eventually 4 plates)
Squat - 300lb (eventually 3 plates)
Bench - 175lb (paused)

Biggest goal - to translate my 'gym' squat and bench to performance at meets.

HMVOL7409

34yo F, 135lb 5'2

Squat 185lbx4
Deads 235lbx4

Goal for EOY 2014
Bench 150lb
Squat 200lb
Deads 315lb

My end of year goals may seem low but I've struggled a bit as of late even with bulking and deloaded on squats due to hip issues and currently working my way back up. Bench is well just that; not an easy freaking move to increase weight on for me.

miniimuscles

Bench max 83 x 12
Squat max 135 x 8
Dead lift max 145 x 12

Still working in goals. I just know I want more
