    I am not even close but working on it. I haven't tried for a max rep so that skews me a bit lower. My numbers are all from my Stronglift 5x5 program.

    Bench: 105
    Squat: 165
    Deadlift: 205

    Getting caught up on the thread and reading Kelly's totals is giving me a hankering to test my totals again and erase my 45 pound deficit.

    I like the x body weight part. It's a lot easier for someone who's 300 lbs to get to the 1000 lb mark than me down here at 190 lbs.

    Hoping to retest my maxes on the 19th, but as of Sept, here were mine:
    Squat 365
    Bench 235
    Deadlift 385
    total 985...5.3 x body weight

    Hoping for 1075 total in a couple weeks which would be 5.7 x BW

    Just a bit short. Deadlift is the area I need to improve the most. Limiting factor is strengthening my upper back. I feel like my form really falls apart at around 275, so I tend to work lighter and focus on keeping my back neutral.
    Bench 245
    Squat 340
    DL 325

    910

    How are you on pull ups? Strict, not kippers.

    Yea, that's true. But the relationship between bodyweight and strength isn't linear, it's a curve, so the lighter lifters will almost always have a higher xBW total than the bigger lifters. I.E. It's a lot easier for a 200lb guy to get a 400lb deadlift than it is for a 300lb guy to get a 600lb deadlift. You have to use the Wilk's formula for that comparison (which honestly still favors the lighter lifters, albeit not as much)

    True, the weight/strength ratio is not even close to linear. But the 1000 lb club for a 300+ pounder isn't the same for us sub-200 guys using the wilks either. According to that a 1000lb combined score for the 300 lb guy would be the same as 860 for the 190 lbs guy. or 1000/190 = 1165/300

    Is this a fairly accurate table?

    Yeah...I think it basically just uses the weights associated with http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html

    That looked brutal. Is that your max or close to it? How's your sumo look?

    I was tired, 405 is usually less grindy, one form fault from that I'm working on is not to hurry putting the weight down (obvs), and use a lower starting hip position to make sure there's no rounding in the upper back.

    435 is current max, 455 was barely missed. So my 1rm might be somewhere around 450 right now. Sumo, it's just not working for me, I'm getting a lot of hip stress and I can drive it up to 365, but after 365 I just lack the hip strength and flexibility to get it off the ground.

    It also is a festival of pain in my hips once I let go of the bar.

    Dear god.

    Can I hump your leg until some of that raw strength is taken up by osmosis?

    Already there for 700, targeting 830-850 for the end of January, would adore being at 1000 in July, but odds are we are just going to push one lift hard and let the other two ride along.

    I understand that completely. I sumo with relatively high hips which sacrifices a lot of bar speed off of the ground but doesn't hurt my hips at all. If I get my hips really low I can really break the floor easily but my hips pay for it. Having had two serious hip injuries in the past couple years (unrelated) I really wasn't interested in pushing it. #gettingoldsucks

    On the bright side I managed to pull 495x3 last night and may have had one in the tank if I had been willing to fight for it. So I can't complain too much.

    Good luck, my DL is my best lift and shows no signs of slowing down. Having said that, you probably already out-squat me (see above-mentioned hip injuries) so I can't talk too much there.
