My numbers will be different because I was a heavy lifter for a long time, and then stopped for 2 years. I dropped a lot of weight and didn't lift so consequently I lost a lot of muscle mass. When I restarted, my lifts were really weak compared to what I had done before.
I'm currently working a 5x5 sort of routine that I began on 2/6. I didn't start that at just the bar because I had a pretty good background already.
Here's my starting/current/best ever numbers. Everything is for 5 reps except the heavy bench/squat/deadlift numbers, those are either gym or competition bests while I was powerlifting.
Row- 135/155/275
Squat 275/310/635
Bench 155/175/500
Deadlift 315/345/585
Press 100/115/1750 -
Squat 405x1

OHP: 5x10
Current:

(Of course, I haven't done today's workout, which will add 5 to the OHP and Squat, and 10 to the DL, with any luck.)0 -

My heaviest lifts so far:
Squat: 120# X6

I do Strong Lifts 5x5 - I started the program on 12/3. I was lifting before that, but I was inconsistent and didn't track very well.
Starting:
Body Weight - 184.5
Squat - 135
Bench - 75
Row - 60
OHP - 55
Deadlift - 100
Current (last workout was on 2/7 - my fitness center is out of commission at the moment, but will be open again by Friday! yippee!)
Body Weight - 181.8
Squat - 160
Bench - 95
Row - 75
OHP - 65
Deadlift - 165
As you can see, I struggle with upper body. And I know I'm going to have to deload once I start again, but I'm hoping that I won't have lost all my strength in the past 3 weeks.0 -
Bodyweight: 282
Squat - have never squatted ,best hip sled/leg press was 1200 with no more places to put weights.. I know its not the same as squatting so shut up in advance.
Bench - best 3 years ago 335x3 , 2 years ago 340x1(currently 225x8)
Deadlift - never deadlifted
Overhead press - I do DB work for shoulders
Apparently im not a heavy lifter, why am I posting haha... :-(0 -
Squat 405 (that's my best ever, don't think I could hit this right now)
Bench 255 (though I've got an assessment coming up and that should be closer to 270 at this point)
Deadlift 405 (also been a while, hit around when my squat did, I still think I'm good for this though)
Overhead Press 165 (I'm strict about cleaning the weight before counting it in this, and my clean sucks, so until I can do a crappy form reverse curl of more than 165 this won't be going up much).0 -

deadlift 225 3x10
OHP 135 3x5

Squat: started with 225 to get form right
Bench: 135 for same reason as squat, after the first week jumped to 185
Deadlift: 135 for proper bar height and form, 185 after that was done
OHP: 95. My shoulders are weak (comparatively speaking).0 -

That is impressive in six months. What program are you on?
Deadlift - 495

I dunno what I started at. I dunno what 1rms are. My 5 rep work sets are up to 355, 285, 195, 140. Gonna try for 1rms this afternoon and Friday.0

Squat: 100x10
Bench: 70x10

OP: 15lbs dumbells in each hand - 30lbsx10
I need to up this today0 -

I'm not on a program. One thing that I had hammered into my head from the start was '**** programs, **** what everyone else is doing, find what works for you'. I honestly think that advice is of huge importance, but one definitely wouldn't get that impression with how much programs are bandied about on these boards. To me, the last thing a newbro lifter needs is a damned program. They need someone to show them the weight room, show them some halfway decent form, and then leave them the hell alone.0 -

Look up 1rm charts online (http://www.criticalbench.com/chart.htm) to compare your lifts and find a theoretical 1RM. I personally dont max out on bench, I know too many guys who have ruined their shoulders. Theoretical is fine for me. I will be happy when I can do 275x8 for 3 sets.0 -

lol i meant i don't know what MY 1rms are because I haven't tested. I have done theoretical based on 5 rep sets, but that is still just theoretical. The fact that i plug in 5x355 and get back 400 doesn't mean ima walk in the gym and pull 400 off the floor right off the bat0 -

If you can 5 rep 355 and can't pull 400, there's something wrong in your head, not your back. Get that sorted out, and watch the weight rise.0 -

actually you probably could. I tried it once I went 275x8 , to 315 x 3. and I did 340x1. I guess I shouldn't have did all those reps that day , I probably could have gotten a higher "actual" 1RM.0 -

This. I actually think 1RM tests are kind of silly unless you plan on competing. Going for 2,3, and/or 5RMs is fine for determining if you've gotten stronger.0 -

True. Like I said I dont max out, I just use the chart.0 -
