I saw the 365 Bench Press Race and saw 495 Deadlift Race. But, haven’t seen one for squat period or deadlift relative to bw. Even though I’m not light weight competitor ( less than 198 ) I still find that BW to Weight Lifted to be the most impressive way to compare lifters. With that I’m currently a 220 competitor and am closing in on a 660 squat in wraps and have pulled 600. After I hit that I’d like to focus on doing unwrapped.
ill join too, everyone needs an under dog

Ha, I guess I’ll join. I still have a ways to go for squat but might as well. I like having the advantage of being the lightest but it takes so much work for my squat to improve lol.
I’m inches away from 3x DL (missed 570 twice at lockout), but a 3x BW squat will never happen unless I gear. Too tall and lanky to put up huge squat numbers relative to weight.
To make it fair it could be a race to Int’l Elite for one or both lifts using the USPA Classification Standards (5/9/2013). That removes body weight to even the playing field. That’s 671 for both squat and deadlift at 220 which is pretty much what Reed is going for. Although Reed is closest, everyone currently has a score of 0. Getting one is impressive but you have to get both to win.

I’m ok with that pretty much just as challenging all around. Really pisses me off I have a elite squat and Deadlift for 220 but can’t bench my way of a wet paper bag so I’m still damn near 70 pounds away at best.

Once somebody wins this race we can also have one for Int’l Elite in all three lifts. HeavyTriple is already ahead in that race; he has the bench and is probably 30 lbs off for deadlift. For this one I’m shooting for a 4 year time frame and will likely end up weighing 181. Regardless of who wins I definitely plan to finish.
I’m in for the deadlift, weigh just under 220 and aiming for 572lbs in my meet in a couple of weeks so still a way off, but I’m only 22 and it’s still flying up so hopefully will get there within the next year or so (and yes I’m an optimistic kinda guy). Can only squat about 440lbs so that’s gonna be more interesting…

I’m in, already have the bench number easily and am not far from the SQ & DL now. Especially if I drop to the 220 class
Everyone is ok with that squat depth in the first post? Shit, I may as well total 1800 in my next meet with bullshit lifts like that. I’ll just judge my own lifts and tell the judges which ones passed.

Nice to see another junior lifter! I’m 108 kg and @ 180kg/140kg/260kg or 396/308/573 raw and I’m 18 years old. I’m aiming @ going up to 120 kg BW and so I would have to pull 360 kg/793 lbs and squat the same. I would try to go for that in single-ply gear.
