    When people are giving their stats do they generally mean what weight do they use for their sets? Or is this the max they can do (1 rep max)?

    I'm currently squatting 50kg ten times for 3 sets, think I could go up, but don't know what my 1RM would be...

    I also feel like a weakling. Hopefully in a few months I can be the bamf in this type of thread. =D

    After almost 3 weeks of heavy lifting. Lulz.

    You and me both! I'm still getting off the ground!

    Deadlifts - 100
    Squats - 55
    Overhead press - 45
    Bench press - 45
    Rows - 45

    P.S. These are all barbell weights, roughly 3 weeks into Starting Strength but going very, very slow with it due to back issues, total noob status, etc. etc.

    Glad this thread popped back up. Definitely improved since July!!! With that said, per a pp I use weight in actual sets done not 1RM. I have no interest in knowing what I can do once; only improving with what I actually do. IMO 1RM are for bragging rights which don't interest me.
  • 1RM are important if you're a powerlifter :)
