hi guys im new to this site. ive been training for about 3 and a half years and im a hardgainer. i just wondered what ur max lifts are so i can compare lol.


im 6'2 - 13 stone

max bench is 80 kilos
max db curl 20 kilos
max sqwat about 120 kilos not sure tho cause i stoped working my legs with big weights cause thay got to big lol

how many reps you doin dood?  

i mean 1 rep max.

do u think im doing good for my stats?
i sometimes feel i could do better  

I did a powerlifting comp in my youth, The Four Counties in Featherstone prison, and no I wasn't an inmate!
Squat 300kg
Bench 172 1/2kg,  done 180 in the gym
Deadlift 272 1/2kg.  I did pull 290 but it failed 2 reds to one white.
I did win my class, which was over 110kg class.
Not massive weights but they felt massive to me.
I squat with no more than 220kg now for about 6 reps.
Dead lift about the same and I don't bench at all. Use 50kg b/bells, sometimes 55's, for incline d/bell press.

Reaper.
  

nice  

training 3 and half years (5foot 6 ,13 stone ,)
bench incline 100k 8 reps
deadlift  180k    5 reps
curl 40k    12 reps
dips 42
leg press 400k  6reps
squat 160k for 7reps
dont realy see point of going for 1 rep max not for body building but hey power training
is a good thing ,and i power train about 4 months out of the twelve and then change and go into lighter weights and more work sets.

i dont train doing 1 rep max i was just asking what peoples 1 rep max is.
being tall is good sometimes but having long arms and legs makes it harder to lift weights cause u have further to go with the weight  

Shadyslim,
know what you mean, I'm 6' 3 1/2"!
I haven't done single rep max for years, no good for the joints!!

Reaper.

yeah i spose it is

very true trained heavy with legs and suffered with my knees,yep joints do take a pounding

i dont know what my 1 rep max is
at the moment , im 5 10 and weigh 10 stone, looking at your stats i would suggest you tain your biceps more because a 1 rep max of 20 kg on barbell curls is really not that good
but here are some of my stats
12 x 3 squat 110 kg
12 x 3 bench press 75 kg
12 x 3 dumbell curl 40 kg

yer but whats the point of having big bicepts if your base structure is weak ,big strong back=big strong arms  

Hi Guys,

im 5ft 10 14 stone

benchpress inclined 80kg ten reps
benchpress flat 100kg ten reps
dumbell curls 25kg (each arm!) ten reps
squat 260kg 6 reps

Bailey - your lifts seem a lot out of synch! You can only flat bench press 100 kilos - but you can squat 260??? If that is the case I am guessing your leg development is way ahead of your upper body - in which case you need to prioritise your upper body...

Sorry I meant 260lbs for the squat so 130kg approx, and by the way I am only 18. Thanks for your comments. Has anyone got any tips for increasing benchpress as above 100kg flat seems to be a bit of a wall to break and I have being on it for months!
