    Last time I reported in I was -35 lbs under the 1000 mark.

    This past week, I test my maxes. Results below:
    • Bench: 285 lbs (129 kg) (03/25/2015)
    • Squat: 360 lbs (163 kg) (03/25/2015)
    • Deadlift: 440 lbs (199.5 kg) (03/28/2015)
    • TOTAL: 1,085 lbs. (492 kg)

    Yesterday morning, I nailed the 440 lbs. on the second attempt deadlifting. Few minutes later I attempted 445 - nothing but utter failure. But that's a failure I am proud of. Since end of September I added +10 to my bench (training through a shoulder injury so that affected my performance), +65 lbs to my squat, and +45 to my deadlift. Overall since Sept '14, among the three lifts I've added a total of 120 lbs. (FYI: Lifts beltless.)

    When I got back into the gym and back into barbell work three months later in June/July of 2014, I strained my back just trying to attempt a 115 lbs pull. Enter ice packs, heat pads and muscle relaxers. I think what really helped me was by forcing myself to take a 6-8 week detour by assigning Sumo and Front Squats as my primary lifts and not touching (back) squat or conventional deadlifts for that period. I also made a slight adjustment in the how wide I squat. You know *that* back pain you can sometimes get from either doing the dl or the squat? Well no longer.

    Permit me to humblebrag, but I feel awesome.

    I'm one of those weirdos where my squat is actually my heaviest lift, not my deadlift. Current (non-competition) bests:

    Bench - 275
    Squat - 475
    Deadlift - 405

    Total - 1155

    I almost got 285 bench, I'm sure I'll crack that number in just a couple months, maybe cracking 300 by end of the year, and I squatted 455 for reps the other day so no doubt 495 is within reach (though I'd likely just skip straight to 500 for bragging purposes lol). That would let me break the 1200 mark.

    I'm sure my deadlift would rocket up with proper coaching, but that's not in the budget at the moment, and I fear trying any higher than 405 without coaching. My legs are plenty strong enough to raise the bar, it's my lower back I'm concerned with.

    Basically a set of weights typical competitors can hit at a given weightclass http://www.lift.net/2013/05/09/classification-standards-for-raw-elite-uspa/

    Neat, thanks. Apparently I'm a Class II lifter too. And a Master deadlifter! I'm putting that on my resume.

    That's interesting and a bit ego inflating, at least for the women's standards. They put me at master for my last raw meet and elite for my last single ply meet for total in the open standards and I'm 50.

    Our association (Canadian IPF affiliate) has similar classification standards for championship qualifications.

    I haven't hit a meet since last year but then my numbers were
    DL 525
    SQ 455
    Bench 345

    There are some impressive numbers on this thread

    There are some seriously strong folks in this thread, that is awesome!

    I'm a ways off: 815
    Bench:190
    Squat: 260
    Deadlift: 365

    I hurt something in my knee back in january and its been hampering my Squat & DL for the last 3 months. Finally got smart and stopped trying to get stronger on an injury and rehab and let it heal. Just started doing light Squat & DL work again and hopefully before the end of May I can focus on lifting them heavy again.

    My goals are to break 405 in DL, 285 Squat, 215 in bench by the end of the year so I'm really hoping I'm totally healed up soon as I know I couldn't currently hit the squat & DL numbers. But January isn't that long ago...

    I don't know about the 1000lb club!! But my personal goal is to get my deadlift to 300lb and my squat to 200lb this summer, preferably both front and back (back is obviously easier). I don't have any real goals around the bench, we don't do it much, but it's nice when I improve.

    Currently:
    Deadlift - 285lb
    Squat - 175lb
    Bench - 115lb

    You are where I wanna be! I'm at a 1165# total, with my DL holding me back the most, but I'm hoping by switching to sumo DL and working my way back up I can keep going past my current max. Tack on another 15-25# on bench and squat, and I dream of passing 1300 one day.

    6'2" 190 pounds
    Bench: 285
    Squat: 325
    Dead: 355

    Looks like I'm about 35 pounds short.

    Actually, the squat and dead are estimated from five rep working sets. I gave up deadlifting last year after too many lower back injuries.

    Not sure my 1RM's on each but I have the following:
    Squat: 345×6 ~ 414
    Bench: 245×8 ~ 310
    Dead: 420x6 ~ 504
    Total actually moved = 1010 ~ 1228

    I take all of the approximations with a huge grain of salt but I am in the 1000 club now.

    Only 700 club here, but that's not too bad for just a couple months lifting, right?

    I don't do 1RM attempts with any frequency, only on days where I'm feeling really good about my working sets. My working set for deadlifts has basically caught up to my 1RM so hopefully I'll be able to pull 300 this month.

    Current bests are:
    Squat 255
    Bench 185
    Dead 270
    ____________
    Total 710

    Hopefully I'll be at 1000 by the end of 2016

    Glad this thread is back!

    I haven't tested squat since I last reported but my bench is at 300 lbs and my deadlift is at 475 lbs with in the last week.

    I have a push/pull meet middle of August that I'm focusing my training on.
