How much are you deadlifting?

@GordonWayne...
I'm sorry but why are you critiquing everyone in this thread? This isn't your thread. Why don't you start your own group or thread offering advice?
The only way I got better was by others asking me questions, offering suggestions, and exchanging information both ways -- when information is exchanged both ways (when you both teach and learn) all parties become smarter' this is the basis for teamwork.
Do you not support the idea of team work, or, rather are you just too sensitive?
Clearly, you are out of order, as none of those to whom I made comments, asked questions, or otherwise replied to about actual lifting matters -- none of them offered any complaints -- only you and taso42, so far, have had complaints, and yet I didn't even say 1 word to you.
If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all.
If you are in the minority on this, then this suggests that you are probably wrong; chill out, and your will feel better: Don't always be trying to pick a fight over something that's really not important (or not a threat) - Save your energy for things that really *are* a threat (light your light bill, your diet, exercise regimen, plans for your career/work, and personal life, etc.)
This thread's purpose is to discuss EXERCISE matters, and that's what most of us are doing - you will feel better if you stick to exercise and health matters and leave off emotional drama -- but you're going to do what you want to do, so go ahead and do it, Joy_Joy (ironic name for a person who picks a fight over a non-threat?) to the peril of stress/ bad health.0 -

Who is this new guy?
No idea, but I really hope he does not decide to give me his 'feedback'.
Why don't you ask the 'new guy' (instead of talking in the 3rd person, disrespectfully)
Is this board about arguments -or, rather, about exchanging ideas on exercise & health: I thought this board was about exercise, and not drama.
Why all the hate and discontent: I studied my art to help others and myself -not to have nuts that don;t know me argue about non-issues.
If I get along fine with all my mates in my gyms, and other places (apparently here too, where MOST others have no problem with my opinions and analysis), then what exactly is your problem.
And, what precisely did I say that offends you -- if you can't give me a specific answer, then clearly, you are just looking to cause strife and contention.0 -

Whoa....what? No, this thread is more for stats..not for some guy to go critiquing other people telling them where HE thinks they should be at. This is you hijacking a thread.
So as I suggested, maybe you should start your own group or thread offering advice instead of taking over another's thread.

female 5ft6in 160lb... been lifting for less than 2 months. Last weeks lift was 145lb for a working set of 7.
I'm so pleased with my progress, but when is this weekly improvement going to top out or slow down?0 -
Who is this new guy?
My profile clearly says who I am.
But, in case you didn't find it, here is my 710-lb yoke lift and other progress
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ekHA4OU_E (that's not a lot, at least for a mere lift of a few inched- so I'm not bragging)
Also http://GordonWatts.com/consumer.html mirror: http://GordonWayneWatts.com/consumer.html has me research on cancer, which I completed from college.0 -

Welcome to the MFP forums, new guy. I can already sense that you'll be fun to have around0 -
Who is this new guy?

That is not very polite: Why would you not be open to feedback or constructive criticism? We all have areas of improvement.
Secondly, however, is more fundamental to your issue: Since I have not once ever insulted anyone on this thread in the short time I've been here, but solely and only offered tips to get better -or tips to better understand the physics of lifting -then your concern is unfounded. Save your angst for actual idiots; you'll feel better if you do.
So, again, where I have ever said *anything* of an insulting nature to anyone (with the exception of my replies to a few self-proclaimed board-police or hotheads)? If you can not precisely tell me exactly I said that was out of order, then *you* are out of order, Sakura.0 -

lol
I get constructive feedback from people I trust. I do not know you from Adam.. And maybe you should be polite enough to get my name right. It's rather rude of you. I also have no angst...what were you saying earlier about assuming?
Also, I also find it rather rude of you to insinuate that I said you were out of order. I said that I hope you do not give me feedback. It is incredibly rude to insult me as you have when all I said was that I hope you do not give me any feedback - are you really that arrogant, stubborn and hypocritical that you would go against my wishes yet berate everyone else for having an opinion?0 -

{{clipped for brevity}}
Do you mean to say... {{clipped for brevity}}
The guy just started 8 weeks ago. Why are you being a *kitten*?
{{clipped for brevity}}
So why are you coming down on him when he said he's basically a beginner? You pretty much said he's not 'doing it right" when you have no clue of his progression.
Where was I "coming down" (or saying he was wrong) in my post.
{{clipped for brevity}}
You said this:Do you mean to say that you, yourself weigh 15 stone (210-lbs / 95.25-kg), and are only 5'7" (170-cm), and can only deadlift 80-kg for 3 sets of 5? (Or, rather, are you saying that this is a normal workout for you?)
Based on your height, weight, gender, and apparent age, cingle87, I would guess that you should be able to lift this weight for a far larger number of sets/reps --or, conversely, lift at least a little bit more weight for a 3x5 workout.
You want to talk about assumptions? You have no clue what he started out at, his rate of progression or his program, yet you are telling him that he should be lifting more - weight, set, and rep wise.
That's coming down on the guy who just started by basically saying he should be stronger than he is.
You MISREAD me post, Joy:
I did not 'assume' anything -- proof of that is that I asked questions --and, just to make it clear for people like you, I even asked the opposing question, leading off with the phrase "Or, rather, are you saying...."
Furthermore, however, on 1 point, you are correct: I DO think he should be stronger, and that is why I am encouraging him to hang in there and see this through to get to his full potential. However, I never insulted his CURRENT level of lifting -- big difference.0 -

Can we get back to timecube thing? Just for a minute. Can you weigh in on it? One of my astronaut colleagues back in the lab thinks he remembers you volunteering for some of the experiments.0

you're a new lifter, so you will probably make lots of gains and get much stronger very fast -- after a while, however, gains will come at a slower pace --sort of like a plateau -- it will be gradual. Enjoy your new exercise experiences and pr's --be careful and have fun.

Please carry on, for this thread is giving me entertainment whilst drinking my pre-workout supplement.

(I removed some prior quotes in the economy of space/brevity)
To further reply to your suggestion, let me remind you that practically HALF of all posts on this board have been to offer advice or suggestions --and I have done no more than that -except, maybe that I am a bit long-winded, a bit too technical or scientific for non-geeks like myself
and, I've tried to be accurate AND NOT INSULTING (as most apparently accept as true -as evidenced by the fact that only a very few posters have complained -even after like several days of my numerous and lengthy posts).
So, if indeed most people on board offer feedback and ask questions, I don't see what is your concern with me -- am I merely too talkative? (Do you REALLY think I meant to insult another lifter... oh, really?) What, pray tell, after considering my last replies, is your concern.
Thx in advance, Joy. 0 -

Oh, and I just watched a video of you deadlifting...confirmed, I would not take advice from you.0 -
