Hey! I'm looking for others into heavy weights, especially deadlifts. I'm lifting at 120 pounds and thinking about entering competitions when I can lift more. Looking for support/fellow enthusiasts

    I'm not into super heavy weights, but I do try to lift twice a week. I'm somewhere around 116-118lbs and my lifts are(working sets, not 1rm):
    Bench 100-105
    Squat 150-155
    OHP 45lb bar only for now because of rotator cuff pain
    Deadlifts 165
    Row 85
    Pull ups
    Hip thrusts 165
    Glute Bridges 155-160

    Squats I’m trying desperately to get past 51.25kgs (112lbs)
    Bench press I hit 45kgs on Thursday!!!! (99lbs)
    Ohp 35kg (77lbs)

    I’m getting there slowly :smile:

    Deadlifts are my second love. Bench is forever number one. Best platform lifts are 135kg(297lb) squat, 92.5kg(203lb) bench, and 170kg(374lb) deadlift.

    I can only do a sad 50 pounds on bench lol. But I'm working my way up!

    I suggest you enter a competition now. No need to wait to lift more, you will always want to lift more regardless.

    Love it too.

    I haven't maxed out in awhile even though I competed ( I was injured and just went for white lights and left some weight in the tank).

    Make sure you are on a program! You'll want accessory work in addition to the big lifts. I started lifting in November. I weigh 130 lbs at 5 foot 9.

    deadlift- 265
    squat- 185
    bench- 115
    pull ups- 8

    I don't train squat or bench though.
