    seeing as i saw a bench with 30 lbs of my best in the womens... i'll just go ahead and say i feel inferior off the bat lol

    was very proud of the 12+ pull ups i could do before i got injured in the past year. i weighed around 165.

    does that count in this thread?

    I weigh about 175

    OHP - Actual 1RM 135
    Bench - Actual 1RM 205
    Deadlift - Actual 1RM 365 though that was a little while ago and I should be able to beat that now
    Squat - I haven't done a true 1RM, but my heaviest working set has been 275 x 5

    Nothing amazing, but is miles from where I was when I started.

    Not as much as I used to. I'm using Stronglifts to fix that, and keep my ego in check as I build up.
    I'll post up some numbers at the end of the summer.

    Age: 40 Weight: 193lbs BF%: Not low enough!

    Current Stronglift weights (lbs)
    Squat: 150
    Bench:110
    Row: 115
    OH Press: 65
    Deadlift: 155

    I'm 3 weeks back into lifting after being out for almost a year (injury, and then life)

    Both groups are at ~260-270lbs, all with less than 1 year of training

    Current:

    Bench 185x15 to chest
    Squat 315x15 to 90*
    Not DLing due to my prior injury yet
    No spotter, so Mil press is DB 75x15.

    Prior to injury:
    Bench 350x3 (max) 315x10
    Squat 650x10 never tried for 1rm
    DL 250 (messed up wrist, which I later injured)
    OHP 250 1rm, 185x10

    i've lost about 20 lbs in 4 months on a net 1400 cal/day diet and playing soccer, biking dailing, running 2-3 times a week.

    here's the one is do about 2-3 days before a game.

    20 kg (45 lb) kettle bell:
    dead lift x 20
    goblet squat x 12-15 (12 kg bell)
    swings x 20
    overhead bell crunch x 20 (20 kg bell)
    clean to press x 12-15 (with 12 kg bells)

    repeat 2-3 sets
    run-- goal is 7 min mile for 1st mile, 8 min mile for next 2 miles

    also good to throw in box jumps, burpees, bulgarian split squat, walking lunges

    Bench 155 x5
    dead lift 225 x5
    squat 185 x5
    OHP 90 x5

    ok, against my better judgement (ego) here's where I'm currently at.

    Been doing stronglifts, and then now just hired on a strength trainer. He wrecked me on thursday, still sore.

    I don't know my 1RM, I know what I can do in Stronglifts right now.
    Bench: 165# for 5x5
    Pendlay Row: 180 for 5x5
    Squat: 180 for 5x5 (I have some knee stability issues I'm working through, but I'd like to get that at least to 230 in the near future so I'm doing at least 1x bw.
    OHP: 110# 5x5
    Deadlift: 300# for 1x5, I'm still looking for my ceiling here, and contemplating strapping up to help my grip.

    Another SL 5x5 participant here. I won't ever do a 1RM anymore. Used to do that back in HS Football but now I'm too afriad of injury and being out for weeks.

    Here are my working weights as of today:

    Squat: 255
    Bench: 155
    Row: 155
    OHP: 110
    Deadlift: 275

    Squats - tough but I'm still going, I could see getting over 300 before stalling
    Bench - probably over 200. Hoping to get more than BW before stalling
    Row - I'm going to stall soon on this
    OHP - $%$%^^$ you, I hate this excercise.
    Deadlift - Going strong on this one, going to need chalk or something soon though as my hands get pretty tore up toward reps 4-5 but still doing both overhand.

    Edit: Forgot to add, BW is around 215. Haven't weighed myself for a while but trying to drop at the moment.
