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!

Bailey

When i was a lad,ha! Ive done 680kg (1,496lbs) for 5 reps on the leg press = 34 plates + the plate holder? None of this one inch movement babba that you see people doing!

135kg (297lbs) + an olympic bar on press behind neck for 4 reps.

295kg (649lbs) Shrugs off a rack (7 plates aside) for 5.

60kg (132lbs) incline dumbells press for 6.

Nothing fantastic but i wont be lifting like that anymore, caused too many probs for me joint wise.
I weighed 225lbs at the time, 5ft 5.
Weights means nothing anyway for b'building but seeing as though the question was asked  
Compared to the guys in Worlds strongest man these are baby weights, fvck me they ARE strong... and twice as tall!  

Hi, I'm new here. Had a look at this thread out of interest to see what people were lifting. I've been training for around 18 months again now after a layoff of around 15 years!!! I used to train a bit in my youth but never very scientifically.

I'm 5'11", approx 14 stone ( a little too much cider and pizza)

bench 1 rep 110k, 95k for 5 reps
barbell dumbell curl around 45k but usually don't try 1 rep max on biceps so a guess. (I can peacher curl 40.5k for around 4 reps)
Squat 110k for 6 reps and improving fastest of all lifts at the moment
Deadlift 130k for 1 rep

My legs were lagging behind greatly at first but seem to be slowly catching up whilst my weight is hopefully coming down over the next month or two.

Try switching to dumbell press for 4 weeks, I did this when I got stuck on 2 plates and it seemed to strengthen my wealer side so when I went back to benching it seemed easier and my weights and reps went up accordingly
