ok so I haven't seen a lost like this so if there is I apologize. I'm just curious as to how everyone's lifting stats are. Do you feel good, weak, strong. So post your current body weight and then the weight you do on each exercise in the 4-6 rep range not max.

here's mine:

Currently 245lbs 6 foot tall

Barbell Bench - 225lb
Shoulder press Dumbbells- 70lb DBs
Lat Pull down - 225lb
Curls Dumbbells- 50lb DBs
Tricep rope push down - 140lbs
Deadlifts- 225lbs (very weak due to hip injury)
barbell Squat- 205lbs (also weak due to hip injury)
Dumbbell Shrugs- 125lb Dumbbells

overall I feel ok, but kinda weak for my size. I don't feel I've plateaued but not making the progress I've been going for. Can't stop, won't stop.

    excellent work @ROBOTFOOD

    I have been lifting a lot in the "hypertrophy" range of 8-12 lifts recently I changed and have been lifting with a little more speed during the lifts and keeping reps in what some call the "power" range 3-5 reps. I am also about to start a cutting cycle as well, I need to cut some body fat and also clean up my diet. thanks for the reply homie.

    Thanks man! I'm currently bulking. Been a while. Trying to hit 210 but it's a fight. I post most of my lifting on IG @ robotfood123
    I also lift a lot of random stuff at the gym. But I do the main lifts at my rack in my yard. No plans to compete right now. Just trying to build as much strength as possible.

    Excellent homie. you mind if I scout you in IG? I post my stuff on IG as well. I was working out at the fitness room in my apartment community kinda outgrew that so went back to the gym life. yeah I want to get stronger and not lose much strength and muscle during this cut so I need to see a buddy of mine who does a lot of cutting cycles for guys in the UFC, and helped a lot of my teammates and I make weight before our fights. he's a mad scientist with that stuff but it works so well. keep up the work playa.

    @ROBOTFOOD aight cuz, I'll hit you there in about 2-4 minutes. and yeah follow back if ya want. I keep my circle small because most people irritate me and I'm a picky *kitten*. Anyone who dips with multiple plates makes the cut tho for sure. lol

    I can do a whole bunch of bicep curls with my 7 lb dumbbells.
    My shoulders are weak so often I just use 5 lb for those.
    I'm not really a squats kinda gal.
    I guess I'm not much of a lifter either.

    You guys seem to be doing awesome.

    everyone that's posted is doing an excellent job. my lifting today felt pretty good actually. but kinda have a stiff neck now for some stupid reason. I started a new routine today keeping my calories moderate lifting in the 3-5 rep range and doing cardio 5-6 days a week. want to cut some of the BF.
