    Great thread:

    I'm 41 - 7 months into PL training so still new
    BW is 80.8kg / 178lb

    Currently
    70kg / 154lb squat
    40kg / 88lb bench
    100kg / 220lb deadlift

    Last comp was 60kg / 35kg and 85kg so should progress nicely in May - that is my initial goal

    Goals for 2013
    90kg squat
    55kg bench
    130kg deadlift

    I am really slow at gaining on bench and squat and hoping these are attainable goals overall, but would be thrilled to be lifting these numbers as lift raw and natural.

    29yo. 30 at the end of June. :)
    6'0", 90.4kg

    Squat: 150kg
    Bench: 105kg
    Deadlift: 210kg


    Train almost exclusively for powerlifting, more seriously for the last 15 or so months. I compete and will do for a while i think. Also looking to get into strongman in the future. Most likely second half of year. most definately the entire SM season next year.

    Had a lot of trouble with the squat, finding the groove that best suited me took some time and some mucking around with my coach. being of "lanky" proportions (legs much longer than torso) i'm not overly suited to it at all, but i Will squat 200kg+ or snap in half trying. but i've got it now. :p and its been rising ever since. Also have long arms, hence hitting 200kg + deadlift relatively quickly. Though it has stalled out a little in recent months with my heavy focus on squatting.

    Aesthetically i've never been vein in the slightest. :p
    until more recently i've started wanting to look like i can lift what i can. a few guys getting around my gym now that "look" stronger than me...annoying a little. haha. but its just as annoying for them to be out lifted each week too! first world problems.

    started reading Arnie's biography.
    starting wanting to be bigger and more defined. :P

    when i return from Europe in july...i'm going to be incorporating a lot more hypertrophy focussed stuff, and god forbid some isolation work. :p

    cant beleive i just wrote that.

    I love the 'underdog' look. If it were in the cards for me, I'd love to have Gant's stature and lifts. Who the hell expects some little 123 pound guy to make 90+% of gym lifters of all weight classes look like total pansies with the iron? :D

    I agree, I love out lifting heavier guys. Like I said I would rather be strong than look strong. I do like the look, just don't wanna be bodybuilder stature. I would like to stay flexible and very mobile.

    Meh, I lived in Samoa for my first two years of high school. I NEVER want to be the small guy again, ever.

    I am a beginner as I just started training 5-3-1 in January. I have always been told I was "strong for a girl", so here I am. Let's see how far I get in 2013.

    I am 32 yrs old and currently 195lbs. (I'd like to get down to 145lbs and have my numbers stay the same or go up and possibly compete)

    *Here are my starting numbers for my 1 rep maxes: Bench Press: 145lbs, Squat: 205lbs, and Dead Lift: 230lbs. @204lbs

    *Here are my current numbers after the first 5 weeks: Bench Press: 175lbs, Squat: 215lbs, and Dead Lift: 240lbs. @195lbs

    I will post my new numbers after the end of these 5 weeks (this is week 3). :-)

    Thanks! :blushing:

    To be honest, I am excited to see where my numbers go as I have never really lifted before.
