    Squat - 165 - 5RM
    Dead - 165 - 5RM

    Bench is definitely my weakest lift and been stalled for a while so I've dropped the reps to try and break through.

    My goals:

    Squat - 220
    Dead - 250
    Bench - Anything over 90!!

    Never tested my 1RM...

    Female, 29y/o, 168-171ish lbs

    I haven't deadlifted much over the last 6 months so I haven't seen much of a gain in that lift....and I don't think I have benched in about 4 years so I have no idea what that is at.

    Well, most of the women here lift heavier than me- but here goes anyway.

    Age: 47
    Gender: M
    Height: 5' 9"
    Weight: 238 (aiming for 190)

    Squat: 200x4 ATG
    Bench: 135x3
    Deadlift: 165x10

    I haven't done a 1RM test yet. I only started lifting in May, 2014 for weight loss. I've been squatting since May, benching pressing since June, and dead lifting for maybe 3 weeks. We all start somewhere. :smile:

    This! This attitude will take you far if you stick with it. And by far I don't mean big numbers; rather, big results and confidence in what you are capable of.

    I'm sure these are a little inflated.

    Probably, but I'm sure some posted real numbers, you can't exclude internet bragging. Mine are real, but I don't expect people online to believe everything, you don't know and cant see the other person, and even if you could in my case I've never looked like I could lift as much as I can (especially when I look like an owl). ;) Funny thing is, some people think my legs look skinny compared to my upper body, but my legs and back can currently do about x1.6 my bench. You really can't tell by looking at someone.

    I hope more do post real numbers though, there really is no reason not to and they are interesting to see, even just relational to the one lifter.

    Congrats Readysetgo69, awesome numbers, you have my old max bench beat (haven't even gotten back to 405 yet, rebuilding after an injury holding me back). I always have had an even bigger discrepancy between bench and squat & dead numbers especially when I am working on all lifts.

    There was a point with my best deadlift, when it was more than 2.6x my bench; 803lbs vs ~300lbs, so its always odd to me when looking at lifting maxes, seeing bench/squat/dead numbers for strongest record setting men being all relatively close in pounds for all three lifts...

    I assume that you are not implying that all are. I am sure some are, but It is probably more of a case that some are not comparable - for example, squats are not to depth or in a smith machine or even with wraps.

    M/30/192lbs/5'9

    Ive been doing dedicated strength training now for only 4-5 weeks, i used to just concentrate on hypertrophy, here is where i am at the moment

    BP: 195 x5
    DL: 355 x5
    Squat: 225 x5

    I am still adding weight every session so i havent got to my maximum for each lift yet, hopefully i still have plenty of room for improvement

    That is a good point as well.

    People in the gaining section seem to be less about that- but I know many of them are real.

    Mine are real- have video documentation to prove it- but not that anyone who says "well you probably lied" won't just say- whose to say that's YOU in the video- I'm not trying to jump through hoops to prove how much I can squat.

    The only exercise I've ever attempted to gauge my 1RM using is the bench press. I've always worked out alone and you can't gauge 1RM without a spotter/partner, which I've never had. My 1RM was 165 and that was a long time ago.
