Squat - 172lbs/ 68kg (x15)

Deadlift - 185lbs/ 74kg (x10)
I'm 138pounds and 6'0" tall. I know, skinny AF and I need to up my game. Been working out for 2 years with a lot of gaps.
If you want to feel strong, stop doing crazy amount of reps. Work closer to the 4-6 rep range and the increases in strength will occur much faster.
Also, why are we bothering with really weird tiny plates? Haha, I'm sure there's some method to the madness but considering your volume, I don't think it's worth to time to scrouge up 1kg or 2.5lb discs in the gym.0 -

Actually it would make more sense at higher volumes since making a five or 10 pound jump on a set of 15 reps is a lot more challenging than making a five or 10 pound jump on a set of four.5 -
I don't test my 1RM for another 3 weeks, but here is what I currently do for 6 reps, at 3 sets; and for fun, I did a 1RM calculator). I am 178lbs.
DL/Squat - 235lbs (Est 1RM 275)
Bench - 155lb (Est 1RM 185)
Following: Bigger Leaner Stronger. I am in week 5. With very little/inconsistent heavy lifting prior. I did 4 weeks of 5/3/1 until lift got in the way.
Not to burst your bubble but the strength calculator is not that accurate and you cant base your 1rm off of that. You should get your numbers way up before you start offering your coaching on peoples routines.
Bench - 325lb
Squat - 425
DL - 455
Did you read that i said for fun? I know they are not accurate.
And why would my numbers matter? Knowledge isnt directly correlated with how much you lift. Look at Lyle McDonald.
Since you added to your comment i'll address that as well. Are you comparing yourself to Lyle Mcdonald? Anything physical requires much trial and error to achieve your goals. Nobody usually jumps on a compound movement and naturally has great form without hours of practice and failure. Never should you take advice from people who read a few articles and regurgitate what they read without actually experiencing it.
No, i am not. I do not have the experience or qualifications of him. And i know it was accurate.
So at what weight do i nees to lifr before i can offer valid advice? Do i get any additional for things like the severe tendinitis in both my forearms and wrist? How about the arthritis building up in my shoulders? Maybe the sciatica issues i have dealt with.
Knowledge does come with experience. But being able to lift big doesn't mean you are knowledgeable. It can mean you had a good teacher of form and a solid plan. It also might mean that you did that and combine with enhancers to get you there.
So if you want to judge me, fine but do it on my knowledge, not how much i lift.
Strength comes with experience and knowledge. Ask any power lifter out there and they will tell you how they have learned so much from their injuries that have happened over time and how they have adapted (tweaking technique, routines, weight, therapy etc). As to your injuries, I can tell that you probably practiced incorrect form and developed some bad habits. Me personally I have had my share of injuries, but I corrected them all and have zero pain in my body at the moment. Also, i believe I did judge you on your knowledge. Any beginner should spend as much time as possible learning proper technique versus jumping straight into power lifting routines, which lead to a list of injuries due to under development. Yes I am all about moving big weight, but I am more concerned about practicing proper technique over anything. I never said you cant offer advice i'm just making it clear to people that you need to take people with little experience recommendations with a grain of salt.
Hate break it to you but my injuries came well before my lifting career. But nice assumption.1 -

Hate to break it to you but its not an assumption when we are on the topic of lifting weights and you talk about injuries in the middle of your argument in regards to the discussion. Any normal person would correlate that to the discussion. Be more clear if you choose to disagree. If we are talking about heavy weights and you bring up your injuries in the middle of your comment most would think those were caused by a movement.1 -

An easier solution would be to stay relevant and don't go off topic. If you choose to go off topic then you need to be more clear. How can you prove any points if you're not actually explaining yourself properly? If you told us that you have injuries from things outside of weight lifting then I would have probably stopped commenting long ago.0 -

This wasn't the only poster to mention using a 1RM calculator.
Are we going to call everyone else out as well or is your beef personal?
How about you read the thread before jumping to conclusions. I called him out because he was telling a noob to start going heavier and cut down the reps. MY POINT IS WHO CARES ABOUT WEIGHT WHEN YOU STILL HAVENT LEARNED THE MOVEMENT PROPERLY!!!
So he's doing the movement improperly because he's not stronger than he is? Or? How are you to know that he's doing it improperly based on his # s and comments here?
Ok cool no need to pry at the discussion. Thanks
Lol last I checked this was a public forum and the point is for the public to engage in discussion with others. Just like you felt the need to pry at the discussion that didn't involve you.
You clearly want to argue and I don't care to argue with you at all. You're not asking anything different from the last guys posts so I don't see the need to engage with someone who is trying to make me look like the bad guy lol.
The "last guys posts" were not there when I was writing my comment.
Apparently the way I phrased it was just looking for an argument though. Ok.

Maybe I'm missing something. It's harder of course but the numbers seem arbitrary, and hard to achieve with regular gym weights...either kilo or lb. My point was maybe to just do 175/145/185 for the same reps. We're not talking about 10 to 15 here....0 -

Or for some of older folks we might think it's a pre existing injury that has nothing to do with lifting that will always give us problems or even an common autoimmune disease that causes those type of injuries because life happens.

Listen, I never threw the guy shade for his numbers ok? I'm not one to say oh you're weak so don't speak. That type of mentality is such a waste. I was telling him that if you're a beginner you shouldn't jump straight into powerlifting routines if you don't even have the basics down.

Great job you're strong and you also have been lifting for 10 more years than I have lol.

How long has psuLemon been lifting?

How much experience does he have?
How long have I been lifting? (Hint it's not 10 years total let alone 10 years longer than you, and yes I'm assuming you've lifted at least one day)
How's my form? (Have you seen me squat or are you assuming that because I can move a lot of weight I must know what I'm talking about)

Basically you were being hypocritical telling me not to give someone a hard time about their numbers but you did the exact same thing to me. You're like 14 years older than me and have easily been working out a lot longer than I have lol. I really don't care but you're missing the point completely. This all started by me telling a beginner to not worry about moving heavy weight and to practice his technique. No need for your petty comments. Also, yea I would definitely assume and hope you have great form with numbers like that. Would you say I'm wrong about that and that you have no clue about what you're doing? And for the record I just got into power lifting like a year and a half ago so my numbers will be going way past where they currently are now. I started off bodybuilding for a few years and decided to bulk up and power lift a lot more frequently. Just because someone is a moderator doesn't mean you need to cook up some random comment that's not relevant at all to the discussion. I have nothing against psulemon and appreciate his opinion and this discussion.

How did he get injured? (I laughed at this one cause you said "I didn't assume anything I just took information that wasn't there and fit it in with what we were talking about and acted like that was fact.")
How much experience does he have?
How long have I been lifting? (Hint it's not 10 years total let alone 10 years longer than you, and yes I'm assuming you've lifted at least one day)
How's my form? (Have you seen me squat or are you assuming that because I can move a lot of weight I must know what I'm talking about)
Also it seems like your sarcasm detector is broken . . .
Basically you were being hypocritical telling me not to give someone a hard time about their numbers but you did the exact same thing to me. You're like 14 years older than me and have easily been working out a lot longer than I have lol. I really don't care but you're missing the point completely. This all started by me telling a beginner to not worry about moving heavy weight and to practice his technique. No need for your petty comments. Also, yea I would definitely assume and hope you have great form with numbers like that. Would you say I'm wrong about that and that you have no clue about what you're doing? And for the record I just got into power lifting like a year and a half ago so my numbers will be going way past where they currently are now. I started off bodybuilding for a few years and decided to bulk up and power lift a lot more frequently. Just because someone is a moderator doesn't mean you need to cook up some random comment that's not relevant at all to the discussion. I have nothing against psulemon and appreciate his opinion and this discussion.
So we can get back on track, let me say one last things and we can let this drop. When I made that suggested to that person, it wasn't a means to modify their programming because before you go down that road you need to understand all the variables. I made the comment because you can't adequately compare ones weight x 10/15 reps vs most people's 1RM or 3RM. I was simple stating, that if they wanted a comparable number, that they should go to the gym (pending they have good form) and try a 1RM or 3RM. That is what I did 5 weeks ago when I started the program (of which I have surpassed all my tested 1RMs). This way, if the person didn't want to feel weak or was curious on how they compared, they could make an apples to apples comparison.
This largely was extremely overblown and way too many assumptions were made. So let's just move on. It's really not worth my time or the time of anyone else.0 -
I don't test my 1RM for another 3 weeks, but here is what I currently do for 6 reps, at 3 sets; and for fun, I did a 1RM calculator). I am 178lbs.
DL/Squat - 235lbs (Est 1RM 275)
Bench - 155lb (Est 1RM 185)
Following: Bigger Leaner Stronger. I am in week 5. With very little/inconsistent heavy lifting prior. I did 4 weeks of 5/3/1 until lift got in the way.
Not to burst your bubble but the strength calculator is not that accurate and you cant base your 1rm off of that. You should get your numbers way up before you start offering your coaching on peoples routines.
Bench - 325lb
Squat - 425
DL - 455
Squat - 525
Deads - 600
Bench - 375
Dude, you should get your numbers way up before you throw shade at other people for their numbers.
Listen, I never threw the guy shade for his numbers ok? I'm not one to say oh you're weak so don't speak. That type of mentality is such a waste. I was telling him that if you're a beginner you shouldn't jump straight into powerlifting routines if you don't even have the basics down. Also, it seems like you are a bit hypocritical by sying dont throw someone shade about their numbers then say I should get mine up. Great job you're strong and you also have been lifting for 10 more years than I have lol.
