Wondering where we all are in the big 4.
I know we got some strong motherfuckers on this site, despite this being mostly bodybuilders.
I am an intermediate I suppose. I dont know my ceiling, but I damn sure miss the noob gains.
All these are numbers that I have hit on last maxes. All of these will go up at end of next month when i do a meet.
Bodyweight 237
Squat 340 (double)
Bench 275
Deadlift 455
Press 165 (double)
Just finished testing Complete Power Look Program yesterday.
Bodyweight: 180
Zercher squat: 325
Dip: +150
Incline press: 235
Deadlift: 425
All singles, no grinders.
Might retest Deadlift this weekend though. Back was still pretty fatigued from testing Zerchers Friday when I tested Deads yesterday and I wasn’t getting the deep breath that I wanted.
These are all probably low-intermediate numbers, if that. Incline and DL are nothing to write home about.
I will update my weight. That is important.
I like that you did zercher and deads same day. For me, nothing ggets me more in the mood to pull a huge weight on deadlift than doing a few sets of heavy squats. Putting weight on the back gets my fight mentality on!
Actually my testing was Zerchers and Dips on Friday, then Deads and Incline on Monday.
I had considering doing it all in one day but glad that I did not.
Yeah. I actually like doing a squat bench dl max same day. It gets me so pumped up.
My squat is soo weak right now. But i am hoping to build it up. I wish i could get locked in like deads.
When i deadlift, i am in the zone in a way that nothing else exists. It is one of my favorite phenomenon
I’ve never really done any true Powerlifting training and I haven’t tested any 1 rep maxes since Feb 2023. But my max numbers then were:
Squat 365x1
Deadlift 500x1
Bench 315x3(it was lighter than I was expecting)
OHP 190x1
But some of my rep maxes and other lifts since then that I feel like are more impressive.
Squat 355x8
Bench 270x12
Weighted Chinup +100x9
Dumbbell Incline 102.5x21
Weighted Dips 110x11
All of those are from the last month. I pretty much only train Bodybuilding style so the numbers are basically just a function of bigger muscles rather than something I’m prioritizing or chasing.
At my Peak
Bodyweight 242
Squat - 585x7
Sumo Deadlift - 585x10
Conventional Deadlift - 585x8
Bench - 315x14, 360x5
Seated OHP - 225x10
I rarely max out. There’s no reason for me to. Not competing.
I significantly downsized since then for personal and financial reasons. Exhausting to be at that weight.
most recent Maxes @ 208:
Paused Squat - 560x2
Conventional Deficit Deadlift - 595x2
Paused Larsen Spoto Bench - 320x7
Log Press - 175x20
These were about 2-3 months ago before I tore my oblique. I’m doing a lot of rebuilding at the moment.
Sorry to hear about the setback. Those are some big numbers, bud
Lmao. Accidentally doing those numbers for reps..most would like to match them for singles!
I appreciate it! I think it’s just 100% time, effort and genetics. I’m excited to see some of the numbers around here because there are some super strong dudes. This is basically my introduction to @KonsuTheTraveller but he’s clearly a mega Beast!
Yeah. This isnt a pissing contest, though we can make it that, lol. It is more a recognition of personal growth, and just to give some guys an idea of what their competition is doing.
I am competing with all of you, albeit in a friendly way. And anyone in Austin area is always welcome to come lift with me. I will say, it is a bit intense in my gym (garage). But in the best way possible
I love that, man! And I am with you. I’m a competitive dude myself and seeing others thrive motivates me!
My first thought upon seeing the weight by reps was that you ran out of plates. 
Being very tongue in cheek.
Between 2010 and 2012 did
Squat 507x1 and 405x9
Bench 315x5( not paused) best in competition was 331 with pause
Deadlift did 555x1 and 517x5, did 600 off the lowest pin but couldn’t break from floor
Overhead press 235x1
Weighed 250-260, age 26-28
Also did 575 squat with a suit/wraps and 405 bench in a bench shirt in training but was really inconsistent in competition, I would have been younger then 23 yo and around 240 pounds
Was always “natty” but never “a natural” if that makes sense lol
just really loved the sport
Since last year have done
Squat 315x8 do more like a high bar/olympic variation now
Bench 220x9
Trap bar 405x10
Overhead 160x9
Weigh low 240s now but trying to get under 220
40 years old
Crazy strong numbers man!
Best of luck with your recovery!
Good thread. At my peak:
Squat 440x1, 408x2
Bench 330x1, 286x5
Deadlift 600x1, 507x5
Press 198.5x1 (still annoys me).
Working back towards new bench and Press PB currently. No idea if i’ll ever squat a PB again 
. Still feel like ive got a 660 deadlift in me somewhere one day.
Always found it interesting how people’s rep/max strength varies.
Where would you get stuck on deadlifts? I always had trouble with the start but rarely missed if I could get it started. The first rep is usually the hardest and the rest are better even though I never “bounced” reps but I guess there is some sort of stretch reflex that helps you.
Embarrassing though at meets sometimes I’d pull like crazy until my face turned purple but the weight wouldn’t budge 
Usually right off the floor for me. If i got to my knees, it was history.
Yeah your 5RM is quite close to your 1rm really. Funny how it works with that first rep, im the same there. Singles are very handy for that.
Why lift if you can’t share some numbers, yeah?
I started priotize stength more again in my training couple years ago.
Here’s my current PRs. Not great, not terrible (c) Anatoly Dyatlov.
Squat 5x441lbs, 1x485lbs
BP comp. pause 1x280lbs, Touch N’ go 5x254lbs
DL 3x518lbs, 1x562lbs
OHP 1x182lbs
Everything is moving nicely currently, and I’m expecting to hit 500 squat and 300 BP soon and 600lbs dead at some point if this goes on. I’m a weak presser, but as long as everything is moving up I’m satisfied.
