OHP is amazing, and since we're tossing it in now, my calced (again, based on 5/3/1 max reps I've done) max:
OHP: 150

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.
Wow! You really do assume a lot of things! And you don't even see them as assumptions.
How long has psuLemon been lifting?
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 . . .
1-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.
2-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.
3-This all started by me telling a beginner to not worry about moving heavy weight and to practice his technique.
4-No need for your petty comments.
5-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?
6-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.
Since we're moving on I'll do my last points and then let it drop too.
1- I used your words to point out that you were being dismissive of someone else. I never meant to say that my numbers are bigger so listen to me. I was attempting to be sarcastic.
2- I lifted for 3 years in high school, took a 20 year break and then started lifting for about 2 years. The point that your missing is that you made another assumption about me. You assumed because I'm older I "have easily been working out a lot longer" than you when the truth is it's only a tiny bit longer.
3- No, this started when you made an assumption of someones ability to provide useful information based not on the merit of the information they provided, but on the amount of weight they can move. The information they give is what is relevant. And telling someone who's doing 15 rep sets who wants to feel stronger that they should lower the reps and move more weight is valid information. Maybe you have a point in saying that before they increase the weight they should make sure their form is good, but saying "you need to get you numbers up before you start offering advice" is definitely not the way to make that point.
4- You're right. I'm sorry. I find myself humorous and I try and say witty things to entertain myself sometimes.
5- You're making the same mistake here that you made before. Assuming someone is knowledgeable or not based on the number they lift. What if my squat is more like a 1/8 squat? What if I bounce the bar so hard off my chest that people watching think my ribs are going to break? The numbers a person lifts tell you nothing about their level of knowledge.
6- Good! Keep working your tail off and I'm sure your strength will continue to improve.
Side note - what program are you running for lifting? I really liked 5/3/1. I'm able to see 5 lbs a month on all my lifts and 10 lbs most months on deads and squats. Almost guaranteed. But I like trying new things every once in a while too.

All good man appreciate the response. I enjoy following the Super training guys like Silent Mike and Mark Bell cause I literally live down the road from their gym in sac. I'm about to start another Kizen program they have because their bench program worked pretty well for me. Ill look into that program you mentioned cause it sounds like you're making some really solid strength gains.1 -

I'm hoping for a 250 squat and 300 DL by the end of March.
I have to agree with you in bench. Nothing is less awesome under the iron, than plopping ones *kitten* on a fluffy bench or seat to do something. Standing overhead work ftw.
It's just what coach @SideSteel tells me when I send him messages freaking out about my light bench. I've decided to not get worked up anymore.0 -

I've never maxed deadlifts or squats. I rep 225 for both. Max bench was 255 about 3 months ago. I've been focused on cutting for the last month and a half, so I'm not sure where I'll sit on any of them now.
Repped 245 for 3 on the bench last week.0 -
5ft8 155lbs-
Deadlift 150kg
Squat 100kg
Bench - hard to 1rm when you train alone so I'd be guessing.
Recently back in the gym after a 2 year back injury so numbers are improving every week and gains are coming back ☺️
Dumbells are your friend on chest day when you're alone, or just ask someone at the gym for a spot. Everyone at my gym is always happy to help.0 -

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.
what's wrong with the cookies?
I have to convince the guys that fail weights when they start jumping up in plates that there are OTHER weights available to them besides 45's and even 35's.2 -

DL/Squat - 235lbs (Est 1RM 275)

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.
After 7 weeks of Bigger Leaner Stronger my new 1RMs are...
DL- 300
Squat - 285
Bench - 195
OHP - 145 (only up from 135).
So after all the drama, it turns out my 1RM is higher than estimated.... go figure.5 -

My quads are stronger than my hamstrings, hence my squat a lot heavier, though I'm working on upping my pulls. I'm so close to a 1200 total, I want it by the time I hit 40 this summer!1 -

These are my current lifts rather than PBs which are pretty irrelevant at this point as they'd be years old.
Weight: 89KG (196lbs) I've cut 5.5KG since February
Age: 43 (for another week at least LoL)
So as of the weekend:
Deadlift: 190KG (419lbs) x 5
Bench: 100KG (220lbs) x 4
Squat: 130KG (287lbs) x 5 (I know this is low but I'm coming back from knee issues)
I try and give weights and running equal focus so also run 5-7 times per week for 5-10K.
I'd be interested to hear from other older lifters but at this point me biggest issue really is injuries. I'm constantly dealing with one thing or another juggling tendinitis or soft tissue damage to Achilles, Knees or shoulders (multiple tendons...)
