  • Nailed a 315 lb BP and a 405 lb Squat last Sunday and with a 505 lb deadlift that brings me up to 1225 lbs.

    Nice work dude. We are really close, I'm testing my lifts next week and expect almost the same exact numbers.

    Forgot to post a follow-up. Ended up with a 325lb bench, 385lb squat and a 545lb deadlift. 1255, guess membership to the thread is finally official!

    I wish I had a bench press like that. Nicely done.

    Maybe we need to start a 1500 club?
  • I pulled this deadlift two weeks ago in a small 8 person meet. 525 lbs. (Its ugly, I know.)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Br0QGjsJpE

    And then a few days later, I ran through this squat attempt of 405 with some friends, including @jmule24

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sfo2Ix7g5o

    But I failed this bench attempt of 315 lbs.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeExU3qlIcc

    I had nailed it a few weeks earlier. Not going to attempt that much next weekend, just go for a modest 3 pound increase over last paused meet attempt (305 lbs) to kilo equivalent.

    Work to be done.

    Nice lifts. No belt on that deadlift? Impressive. That bench looked really close too. I'll have to post up my videos in a bit.

    ETA: forgot to mention, I am jealous of that squat. Good form considering max-effort and strong as hell. Were you squatting high or low bar? I can't really tell. Your arms are so far under the bar I assumed high bar but it looks like it's a little further back (can't see due to the plates).

    Thank you @DopeItUp - I appreciate it!

    I don't normally belt up for deadlifting because I haven't really needed it, unless my back is sore. After that 525 attempt per the rules of this meet, I was allowed a 5th attempt which I did belt up for because I was feeling it.

    Definitely post up your videos.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uaf_QcY4FHY

    Total fail, but I tied for second and won my entrance fee back of $25. I guess this makes me a professional now since I won money. :p:p:p

    Again thanks! Of all the powerlifts, I really struggled to get into the groove of this one, but about three months ago it all came together but it still wasn't meet ready. I went to a USAPL clinic and demo'd my lifts in front of the judges and I got pointers. I found out that the way I was squatting, not locking me knees prior to commencement of the lift would fail that lift. That following day I spent hours working on that part of that lift. Next weekend will be my first USAPL/IPF meet.

    Yep High Bar. Works for me.

    Good luck next weekend! All y'all up in the 1200+ are my heros LOL I think I've got several more years of lifting before I get up there. Especially if I want to keep the bodyweight/BF% down. Tweaked my back on deadlift this morning too so I'll be taking it easy for a couple weeks :tongue:

    Thank you @McCloud33 ! I hope to collect as many white lights as possible.

    As far as bodyweight, come on a join me at 14-15% BF level -- the feeding is great around here! But sorry to hear about your back. Hopefully you can roll and stretch that thing back out and get it back to lift ready status.

    It is. It was a major requirement to have a large basement area like this when I was shopping for a new house two years ago. It's absolutely invaluable.

    I'd love to be at the 14-15% again! I got down there last spring at a BW of about 170. Then I moved and stopped logging for a couple months and was back up to 190 before I knew it. Just started a cut to get back down there again. Hoping that I've at least put on some muscle. Ultimately I'd like to be in the low/mid 180s and 10-15%. I think I'd look pretty good there at 5'9"-ish. If I could do 275 bench, 425 squat and 500 DL at that weight I'd be in heaven.

    Really? Your back picture makes you look pretty jacked -- I thought you had a much lower BF. Those numbers sound doable to me. There was a younger guy a lifted with a few weeks ago at 168 pounds, pulling 585! And here I am at 210 at 14% BF pulling 525 only.

    Oh Btw... I did nail a front squat of 315 lbs this weekend. I've not tested front squat since mid-summer and my best was 235 lbs. I think I need to bring FS back into my programming at some point.

    That Punisher shirt has to add at least 100lbs on to any lift :)
