Post up yourned lifts!

[k-slash]

What do you lift for reps? In kg or lbs :]

Flat bench press:
Deadlift:
Power clean:
Squat:

Please :smile:

[Skippy]

Ahahaha, embaressingly low amounts

I use for reps;

Bench - 175lbs
Deadlift - I am unsure haha, I did 250lbs for like 10 reps without too much trouble since that is all the weight I have in my house, so I imagine when I rippetoe it up tomorrow I'll use maybe 290-310.
Squat - Like 200lbs, rather low, but ya'know, this'll be fixed soon

Unaware of how high my powerclean is. I hope I can do decent numbers in the future.

[shengoikee]

i'll find out pretty soon. i've not lifted for about 2 weeks now.

what are yours kris? :smile:

Ah cool man, I'm not sure either my diet got fucked from working too much recently and the gym was closed for christmas so I've not been at it for like a week or so :agony:!!!

My lifts are really weak anyway since I've not been lifting for very long yet.

Bench: 70kg (154lbs)
Deadlift: 90kg (198lbs)
Power clean: 60kg (132lbs)
Sqat: 120kg (264lbs)

This is what I have written from last time I was in the gym.

[thereid]

Here's my maxes
Bench-210 lbs
Squat-345 lbs
Dead-about 410 lbs most likely, haven't done it in a while
power clean-idk

sorry I don't know kg's

how much you weigh kris?

[shengoikee]

cool, what kind of rep range are you using man?

i've been sticking with 4 x 12 for everything but deadlifts (long sets make me lose form so i use 4 x 8). i'll shift to 4 x 8/5 x 5 for most exercises pretty soon.

[Skippy]

You really rep high Shen, is there any particular reason for this? I would have figured getting buff was not your aim so much as getting strong.

Please people bare those numbers were my first lifts for like 4 months haha, I am sucky and weak and will eventually BE A RUDE BOIIII.

[frozenpeon]

Flat bench press: 1x225 lb
Deadlift: 1x 415 and 15x315
Power clean: 1x215
Squat:1x315

You forgot the military press K-Slash

[k-slash]

Squat-345 lbs

sorry I don't know kg's

Ah nice man, I'm 80kg. I've been stuck at 80kg for like a week or 2 now, it's pissing me off, work is fucking me lately so I keep getting home at like 8am and waking up at liek 5pm, so much wasted time, not enough food can be eated in like3 hours before work haha.

Well I'm following rippetoes, I'm liking it mroe than anyhting I've done before, I don't have time to be doing higher rep sets in the gym.

I'm doing 3x5 for all my lifts after my warm-ups which I do 8reps with.

I think I use too much weight on warm-ups though, well I've been told anyway.
Say for bench I will do, 1x8 with the 20kg bar, then 1x8 with 10kg each side, and then do 3x5 with 70.

Same applies to everything else.

Squat will be 1x8 with the bar, then I'll add 40kg which is half the max weight I'll use.

I tend to warm-up with half the weight of what I'll be doing for reps. My friend davit told me thats hwo he trains, and he won the under 20's bodybuilding chap for scotland this year so I started doing that.

[shengoikee]

skippy:

i've been training for hypertrophy recently :wink:

my ideal weight is around 80kg/175lbs. i'm currently around that, but i like to bulk/cut repeatedly to optimise my body composition. i've done that twice since i started training regularly (fall 2008) and my weight has fluctuated by around 10kg both times.

another reason is i like to focus on form etc. it helps me break plateaus and all that.

[k-slash]

Flat bench press: 1x225 lb
Deadlift: 1x 415 and 15x315
Power clean: 1x215
Squat:1x315

You forgot the military press K-Slash
I did not add it as I don't do military presses atmo.

[moose_lee]

Flat bench press: 1x315 (max), 8 x 255
Deadlift: 5 x 550
Power clean: Havent done in a long time.
Squat: 8 x 425

all in lbs.

[shengoikee]

sounds good kris. i usually do something similar. after jogging about/doing dynamic stretching i do 1 set of 12 at a weight i could do like 20+ reps with focusing on form more than anything.

let us know how you're progressing in say, 2 months. :good:

holy fuck haha

[frozenpeon]

I did not add it as I don't do military presses atmo.

Why not? The military press is an important basic lift, especially if you trick. If you read Rippetoe, too much bench press and not enaugh press can lead to shoulder injury.

[Skippy]

TT is full of bloody strong people haha. I'll have to start taking Cell tech.

[Nicholai]

Bench: 70kg (154lbs)
Deadlift: 90kg (198lbs)
Power clean: 60kg (132lbs)
Sqat: 120kg (264lbs)


You squat that much more than you deadlift? Are you sure you are getting really deep in the squat? Don't cheat yourself on that lift; it's one of the most important lifts in the long run. :juji:

You guys should mention bodyweight too. :good:

Impressive! For how long have you been lifting?

[Skippy]

Ah yes, I am 175lbs, although if I cut down right now to a point where my physique was more visibly muscular I'd probably end up being about 160. I am a fat boy.

edit: I iz 5ft8

[shengoikee]

i'd say height is the most important thing to mention (as well as bodyweight), but yeah.

[moose_lee]

holy fuck haha

lol, well seeing as I havent been here in a long time you probably wouldn't know. But I don't trick really. I'm a weightlifter at heart and used to have a mini competition between myself and Antoine. Last i checked I'm still winning with my car deadlift haha

Impressive! For how long have you been lifting?

Off and on for a few years. I'm starting to get back in it actually. I want to get my bench back to 350.

[shengoikee]

haha i remember you being strong but i didn't recall you being THAT strong (5 x 550 is ridiculous)

how tall are you/have you any pics of your physique?

[moose_lee]

No recent pics. Im 6ft 1 and about 246lbs

Ah yeah man, I try to make sure on all my lifts that my form is as good as possible or I feel like I'm going to make shitter gains haha.

Thanks man, same with you, I say in 2 months we both post out progress!

Why not? The military press is an important basic lift, especially if you trick. If you read Rippetoe, too much bench press and not enaugh press can lead to shoulder injury.
Because I have been following rippetoes and it wasn't included in the programme.

I can assure you my form on squat is good, I'm not half assing them.I have bad grip strength though, that might be why. I always struggle to hold onto the bar more than anything with deadlifts, my right wrist is in really bad shape though, I can't even handstand anymore because of the pain, and i used to be able to hold them for a solid min and a half, maybe more.

Tricep pulldowns hurt too mcuh on my wrist too.

[TBoyd]

K-slash, definitely do starting strength. PLEASE. Get the book too. It's an amazing read. And do military press.

My lifts are shit right now, took off a few weeks.

Squat- 225x5
Deadlift-285x5
Clean-130x3

I don't do bench.

I weigh about 165-170 and I'm 5'10"

I'm going back to starting strength for awhile, my squat is shit. I'm bulking til april, hopefully get up to 185ish, then cut to 170.

Ah good lfits mann, yeah I have been doing it since I started.

I don't have the book, but somebody put it up here http://www.scribd.com/doc/2668412/Rippetoes-Starting-Strength-FAQ so I have been reading through it since I started.
I still have quite a few months of bulking to go. I started at 72kg and I'm 80 now, I want to put on quite a bit more weight though.

Good luck man!

[TBoyd]

Yeah, I can't wait til I cut in the summer. I think I'll be able to fly. The extra weight gets a little annoying in le trickz.

GOOD LUCK SIR

[del]

man im so fucking jealous of u lot with access to squat bar/rack at gym/home....my gym is so gay it hasnt got one :dead:

[TBoyd]

Get a new gym.

[k-slash]

Yeah, I can't wait til I cut in the summer. I think I'll be able to fly. The extra weight gets a little annoying in le trickz.

Aha yeah, last time I tricked I did a standing flash randomly in town and it felt huge.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n6b4RdNJ4QY&feature=channel_page

It wasn't really, but it felt better than usual haha!

Hah yes.

[frozenpeon]

Not sure where you read this, but the standing press is included in starting strength. It is an important exercice. I have all 3 rip's book.
Workout A
Squat
Bench press
Deadlift

Workout B
Squat
Press
Power Clean

K-slash, definitely do starting strength. PLEASE. Get the book too. It's an amazing read. And do military press.

I agree on this. Rippetoe's book really worth a read.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, HOW DID I MISS THAT, I JUST LOOKED AT IT AGAIN AND IT SAYS BLATENTLY "STANDING MILITARY PRESS.

I'M A FUCKING IDIOT HAHAHAHAHAH.

Shit man what the fuck have I been doing haha.

THANK YOU.

Ugh I'm an idiot.

[TBoyd]

lulz^^^

[anfeyd]

That is an immense powerclean haha

240 lbs?

[Skippy]

To me, for what I consider a person who doesn't lift to compete, I consider 240lbs a good power clean. Considering when I first ever lifted it was what I deadlifted, and back then I never imagined being able to powerclean it haha.

[Ewasiuk]

Before my back injury was serious enough to stop weight lifting, in the beginning I did

Bench Press - 135 lbs
Back Squat - 225 lbs
Deadlift - 275 lbs
Overhead Press - 115 lbs

Because I have less back muscle pain and it's more of a joint/nerve/disc problem now, once I heal I have to restart everything. But I will probably do olympic lifting instead of my pathetic attempt at power lifting.

[Kay]

Bench: Over 9000!!!! Grams

[thereid]

To me, for what I consider a person who doesn't lift to compete, I consider 240lbs a good power clean. Considering when I first ever lifted it was what I deadlifted, and back then I never imagined being able to powerclean it haha.For his squat being just under 400 lbs, a 240 lb power clean is pretty normal I'd say.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

From Today's workout:

Squat: 310 x 3 x 5 & I had a unusual penis pain after the last rep!???
Bench: 200 x 3 x 5 my bicep injury is stopping me from benching as much as I feel I can.
Deadlift: 405 x 1 x 5

Others
Power clean: 160 x 3 x 5
Press: 165 x 3 x 5

5'5" 197lbs

I have various little injuries so I'm a mess right now.

[Skippy]

WHERE ARE MY PICS AIDEN!

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Ahhh,yes! I forgot about those:wonder::nervous:

[chicanerous]

Last tested maximums:

Bench Press: ?
(Military Press: 85 kg)
Deadlift: 435 lb (old)
Power Clean: 110 kg
Back Squat: 150 kg (very old)
(Front Squat: 145 kg)

I don't bench press or, with any regularity, deadlift and I rarely test my BSQ.

Bodyweights were in the 180-185 lb range.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

You used to deadlift:sad: How's your camera?

[Skippy]

Why do you not bench press out of curiosity?

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Personally, I hate bench pressing, but see it useful enough to keep on the menu.

[chicanerous]

You used to deadlift:sad: How's your camera?
I got a new one for Christmas. :good:

Why do you not bench press out of curiosity?
It's not useful for improving my Olympic lifts, which is my current goal. I've been slacking off lifting lately in general though. :bad:

[Skippy]

Fair enough chic =] I hope rippetoes makes me as buff and strong as this guy;

Looks more like a silicon filled bicep :eh:

[Skippy]

Hahaha why yes, yes it does!

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I would punch that guys skull until it caves in if I ever met him.


I'd then fry his biceps & eat them.

[del]

Get a new gym.

Ad damn man, find a new gym!

Yeah going gym hunting after new years

Stats so far are

flat bench :80kg/176lbs

(tho im sure thats dropped since i dislocated shoulder/fucked up elbow and havent trained bench in a while)

Deadlift: 150kg/330lbs x1

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

You could use the bench rack as a squat rack if you don't mind looking a little bit unusual,I'd certainly do it if I was in your situation.

IT'S WORTH IT

[del]

haha i actually tried that but the place where they put the bench makes it shit

[Skippy]

Haha wow today I really sucked, I'm not actually doing rippetoes although the workout was originally rippetoes and I just made some personal adjustments. Please, do not flame, because I do not care about anyones opinions/thoughts haha.

3x5 squats: 220lbs ATG
1x5 Deadlift: 270lbs. The deadlift was so weird! the bar in the gym is slightly thicker than the bar I have here at home so my grip felt awful, also I use a pronated grip and I feel soon I will have to change to a mixed grip.

2x5 close grip pull ups performed explosively, each set followed by 3 reps just done at whatever pace. Although the number of pull ups I am able to do now is small, I can also do the same amount with around 40lbs extra weight, although I have certain little iffy thoughts in my mind and feel the need to regain some functional strength and as of the moment, will do so without the extra weight.

[saulus]

when i was still training my maxes were

bench: 100kg -> 220lbs
deadlift: 160kg -> 352lbs
squat: - (i can't recall how much.. but not as much as deadlift... 130kg probably?)

i stopped because i got too heavy and it annoys me...
no squat and milk for me...

[Kris]

thats not a valid argument! you dont get too heavy just from lifting heavy. just do the squats without the milk and keep track of your diet.

[saulus]

it is no valid argument you are right but i hate it...
i also hate the skin cracks everywhere...
it's not worth it for me..

[Kris]

alright then :)

[The Laughing Man]

my best for one rep, followed by what I've done for reps:

Squat 170kg (7x5x145kg)
Bench 120kg (1x6x102.5kg)
Deadlift 235kg (175kg x 6)
Power Clean idk

Testing a new squat and bench press max this weekend, hoping for 182.5kg and 130kg.

What do you lift for reps? In kg or lbs :]

Flat bench press:
Deadlift:
Power clean:
Squat:

Please :smile:

My max lifts are:

Bench press: 135kg = 297 lbs.
Deadlift: Easy 420, almost 440. (easy 190kg + locks, lacked two inches or something from 200) CNS collapsed though, and I almost fainted. Haven't tried again due to lack of gym.
Power clean: 230 perhaps? It's horrible
Squat: 400 lbs.

[Kid Knuckles]

Bench Press: rep 185x8 max 240ish
deads and squats: 0... still rehabing from a torn ACL :dead:

clean and jerk: 95kg

weight:73kg

[Leo]

About a month or two ago when they were at their best. Now I have to get my strength back up again from being sick. =[

I was 5'10 and 185 lbs I think.

In pounds (lb) according to the exrx max calculator thang:
squat: 260x5 = 293
bench: 190x5 = 214
DL: 345x5 = 388
power clean:155x3 = 164
military press: 150x5 = 169

These weren't my 5 rep maxes, just the sets I did most recently for rippetoe's, so it may be a little off. Still, not too bad for about 2.5 months of lifting.

There are some strong men on this website. I want to go lift now haha.

[chicanerous]

To me, for what I consider a person who doesn't lift to compete, I consider 240lbs a good power clean. Considering when I first ever lifted it was what I deadlifted, and back then I never imagined being able to powerclean it haha.
For someone who doesn't compete and is under 200 lb, I'd say:

110+ kg -- decent
125+ kg -- better
140+ kg -- bad-ass
(155+ kg -- you are / could / should be competing and at a fairly high level depending on bodyweight and ability to squeeze out a good amount more by transitioning to a full clean)

From what I've noticed in the gym and online, 90 or 100 kg seems to be around the peak of the bell curve in terms of recreational achievement. Consequently, a "good" power clean is definitely somewhere beyond that average; I wouldn't put it as low as 240 lb (~110 kg) though. I mean we already have at least five people in this thread that could or have legitimately hit that -- moose lee, Kris, anfeyd, The Laughing Man, me, and, perhaps, Jan -- and I could list another half dozen that I know in real life, which makes it fairly common in my mind.

I'm tough on praising lifts on an absolute scale though (or at least I like to think I am) and, admittedly, my sense of scale is ever-skewing as I grow stronger. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to place "good" even at the peak of the bell curve instead of beyond it, but I think that's definitely a cop out and complacent. 110 kg isn't horrible if the peak really is somewhere in the 90 or 100 kg range, but somewhere even beyond that is absolutely better, IMO.

Edit: I've seen 1.5x bodyweight agreed upon as "good" in a couple internet discussions, which at 200 lbs would be a 300 lift, so that's a relative figure to take into account.

[Colonel]

Wish i could power clean at my gym, it looks fun xD
We don't have like a deadlifting area with rubberish weights, i wouldn't be able to drop the weight :(

But yeah, strict form,
Benchpress = 80kg/176Lbs
Deadlift = 140kg/308Lbs
Squat = 120kg/264Lbs
Standing Military Press = 50Kgs/110Lbs (seems somewhat low haha)

Each Set with reps of 5-6.

Oh yeah, i'm 6'4/195cm and 80kgs/176lbs.

[pete_man_man]

i'm about 5'10"... 66kg... LOL

because i am lazy i lift once in a while rather than following some kind of training thingy... and i quit a session as soon as i get bored/see some butterflies... (usually doesn't take long)

deadlift: 130kg

squat: got bored after doing 5 reps at 110kg and never attempted more out of sheer laziness.. max is maybe 120kg

power clean: 75kg (hoho)

Bench: started doing it like a couple weeks ago.. sometimes it's 70kg

cock curls: 1 metric tonne

i should probably stop eating/training/being like a girl

[toolsteel]

Wow it been some time since i've posting... (exams&holiday:):

My gym has been closed for the last month. But my max weights are as follows

Flatbench:120kg
Squat:150kg (its weird that i can bench almost as much as i squat)
Deadlift:155kg
shoulderpress: 80kgs
My weight is 88kgs +-1kg (I am not to sure of my bf)

The harder i try to get a vip key to my gym the more the manager ses its not allowed, Damn its annoying!

[pete_man_man]

my deadlift became 135kg today.

double body weight ftw!!

(good god i suck)

[Casper]

i read these big 3's and i don't believe most of them haha

[shengoikee]

haha there's really no reason for you not to believe anyone.

[Casper]

i don't trust internet
never seen anyone and when 15 year olds post up some silly number i think it's more pubescent hormone thing

[shengoikee]

haha well yeah. it's kinda obvious when that happens though....

[anfeyd]

The only person I don't believe is thereid because he was emaciated at one point in his life.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I found thereid's stats to be suspect as well because of the same point of Anfeyd's & he is also pretty young.

[Kris]

yeah me too

[Casper]

yeah well thereid isn't the only one with well dubious stats i don't think it'd be appropriate to post their names, but fact is, i don't trust a living crap bout this! haha

i'll post my stats up tommorow

[The Laughing Man]

I believe everyone in this thread and most people on the internet.

And I'm sure I can't power clean 110kg hah, even though it's less than half of my deadlift. Maybe with some technique work I'd get it fairly quickly though.

[thereid]

The only person I don't believe is thereid because he was emaciated at one point in his life.
Can't argue with that logic:tongue:

Haha. That's what I mean. You have much more strength than you need. If you couldn't power clean that weight after some instruction, I'd just about eat my hat. That's not to say the clean is completely dependent on what you can squat or deadlift (it's absolutely not), but rather that that weight is almost certainly under whatever margin of error exists for those derived estimates.

[Skippy]

Light weight babeh.

I don't believe half the stats in this thread either haha.

[saulus]

i don't get that the lifts which were posted mostly weren't too heavy so why not believe them!?...

[Kevin Crow]

Here's the stats of my lift's

Squat- 1 rep max so far- 355 lbs.
Dead Lift- 1 rep max so far- On or around- 435 lbs.
Bench Press- 1 rep max so far- 235 lbs.

:smile:

[Inkrepid]

Because most trickers are skinny kids who idolize bruce lee's physique as the peak of physical fitness.

I've seen very few trickers as beefy as this thread would imply we all are.

[saulus]

i don't know what people you are talking about...
just thereid...
but i believe his stats weren't huge were they!?

Yes.

Because most trickers are skinny kids who idolize bruce lee's physique as the peak of physical fitness.
I think we've done a pretty good job in the past of dispelling that myth.

I've seen very few trickers as beefy as this thread would imply we all are.
AFAIK, most of the people with larger stats are not hardcore trickers or may not trick at all, anyways, so I don't think it really implies much about the beefiness of trickers in general.

Whatabout that Yuri dude! He's 1000% muss and a sick tricker too!

[Final Prophecy]

How are you fuckers benching almost as much (or more than) you squad?

[Inkrepid]

Yuri is obviously one of the very few :)

[Casper]

for me it's

1st of all the itnernet peiople don't know each other and want to get respect by lying
2ndly the age-lifting stats are just stupid
3rdly people post shit advice then they tell us they lift loads

it doesn't make sence

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

AFAIK, most of the people with larger stats are not hardcore trickers or may not trick at all, anyways, so I don't think it really implies much about the beefiness of trickers in general.Yes. I don't trick...Yet,but when I do I'll try my best to look emaciated & frail.

[shengoikee]

haha honestly if you think someone like anis is "emaciated" then you're delusional and probably suffer from a severe case of muscle dysmorphia

edit: not implying anything about anyone in particular here

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Well,I was partially being sarcastic & I'm certainly not stereotyping all tricksters,but in general it's just like any other sport in the way that it is geared towards certain body types or rather,the certain body compositions are geared towards that particular sport. Pick any sport & it can be assured that there tends to be certain proportions that help in that sport, even if there is weight categories in that sport. I'm not sure why you picked Anis,but yeah,he's not emaciated,but he certainly is light & lean; of course I totally respect him for the high degree of awesomeness he brings to the foodless table of tricking.

The term strength dysmorphia would be more appropriate in my case. Hey,I'm a skinny kid myself.

[shengoikee]

well i guess powerlifters are fat and so forth

the ideal physique for tricking is pretty much the ideal physique for everything anyway haha

[anfeyd]

well i guess powerlifters are fat and so forth

the ideal physique for tricking is pretty much the ideal physique for everything anyway haha

The heavyweight powerlifters are fat, and yes, the population that tends to be more 'broad' are better suited to succeed at the sport.


and, no.

[shengoikee]

i obviously already knew this :wink: haha

and would you mind expanding on "no"? (since you clearly have dogmatic views on the subject)

[Nicholai]

I'd have to agree on a ton of these stats. Either people lie or they just have horribly shitty form with a very limited range of motion.

It should be a requirement in threads like these to post pictures or videos. That's more interesting anyways. :wink:

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

& while we're at it why don't we post our blood types & birth certificates?

[Rahf]

A-

My lifts are far away from the vast majority of those in this thread, if they are truthful. I'd say that the time I've spent training has given me a good form on most of my lifts though. As is customary, I blame my lack of strength on a number of things; less bodyweight, less time training, physical hindrances etc.

[anfeyd]

i obviously already knew this :wink: haha

and would you mind expanding on "no"? (since you clearly have dogmatic views on the subject)

Define, "the ideal tricking physique".

[shengoikee]

haha this discussion is going nowhere

all i'm going to say is:

that will depend on your goals




and since tricking is supposed to look good, you should also strive to look good physically. hence, my pseudo serious point earlier.

you should also use a variety of metro skin and haircare products.

[anfeyd]

So what you're saying is that the ideal tricking physique is the overall most useful physique yet this physique depends on your goals so every physique is different. How did the word 'ideal' get caught up in this then?

[shengoikee]

how did you take my comment so seriously? hahaha!

bear in mind this is a tricking forum and we're currently posting in a sub forum in which people who trick post

which means (surprisingly!) that not everyone is straight out of the condescending bowels of a forum catering for pretentious strength athletes (t-nation anyone)

you're deluded! calm down you bitter, bitter man haha

[[RozoN]]

Who the fuck wants to lie about their lifting stats on an internet forum? That's just pathetic...

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Exactly,but it is also very easy to do & you know people love doing shit that's easy.

I don't have anything recent for deadlift or back squat or press, but feel free to extrapolate. The FSQ video is from the end of September, which is why my hair is short, whereas the other two were taken today.

[Nicholai]

Yay, finally some video stats. :smile: Looking good! :good:

Are you ever planning on competing in the near future?

I'm diggin' the new shoes too, by the way.

[chicanerous]

Are you ever planning on competing in the near future?
Nah, but maybe someday... *looks wistfully into distance*

Edit: My clean and snatch still need a lot of work. I splay my feet somewhat in the clean and I can't really catch in the squat position in either. Unless I could perform respectably for my bodyweight with just power variations (which I can't), I wouldn't compete without a lot more work on technique. I compete with myself pretty well, so, other than camaraderie, I don't have that much interest in it anyways.

LOL like anyone doubted Chicanerous' lifts.

He could have said 250kg Squat and i would've believed him xD

[paulSA]

LOL @ this thread. Its uber sad when people lie about lifting stats, as they are trying to establish some lame form of "internet" respect hahaha. Personally, i wouldnt give a shit about what other people lift and wether they are lying or not... Let them have their little moment of pathetic self value for what its worth...and then just laugh at them...

[jan]

I'll try to make a video of my big three and a power clean. First, I need to get back into training however, and get back into semi-shape. I haven't done a proper squat, dead or bench in about 3 weeks now.

Eugh.

[jan]

Here's an OLD vid (april last year) in which I squat a pretty simple 380 though.

I don't see why you wouldn't believe every person in this thread. I'll give them all the benefit of the doubt, nobody's claiming huge weights anyway.

But I guess when these 'skinny ass tricksters' might even be outlifting you guys, then it can't possibly be true!

BW 200lbs @ 6'0"


i think i could be doing better :sad:

Noice squat,deadlift moar:good:

[shengoikee]

i cracked a rib trying 170kg (deadlift) before christmas :wink: haha

i set my PB today before doing squats. w00t.

i'm expecting some progress by next month. i started training regularly 4 months ago.

oh and thanks man!

[Casper]

Bench: 122kg
Squat: 160kg atg
deadlift: 185kg

[thereid]

I don't have any videos or pictures of me lifting as proof, I lift at school. But I could post a vid of my standing vert if that could hold any value of making my stat numbers believable( I sense a lot of disbelief from you people).

EDIT:
I'll just post it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX28pi2cOy0

hope this helps to bring credibility to my posts, I don't like people thinking I'm lying when I'm not.

[Skippy]

Holy shit Dave how did you crack a rib doing a deadlift? I take it it was on a max attempt so you'd rounded your back a bit or something and like I dunno, crushed your ribs together? :P

[shengoikee]

haha it was really freakin weird. i checked my form for several sessions after that before doing a one rep max again (luckily it hasn't stopped me doing anything else). it feels a lot better now but i occasionally get pains so i guess it's not fully healed yet. i'll just have to be careful.

i'd prooobably do better attempting 170 now. i've never attempted a weight and not been able to lift it off the ground at least, apart from the time my rib cracked. i'm just concentrating on form for a while for obvious reasons haha...

[Kris]

AFAIK, most of the people with larger stats are not hardcore trickers or may not trick at all, anyways, so I don't think it really implies much about the beefiness of trickers in general.

yes, Ive been on and off tricking, which actually sucks because I really like it. right now im finding back into it but only tricking once a week. id like to go more often but its winter, i dont have many options. if i think about training organization in the summer i still want to continue my strength training at least 2 times, more likely 3 times a week and that has been a hard thing to do for me together with tricking about 2 times a week. i find it hard to trick when fatigued.

would be great to hear some experiences/plans/etc from of you who obviously spend some time in the gym lifting weights but also trick.

currently it is:

tuesday tricking
wednesday bench, presses
thursday off
friday deadlifts and other pulling
saturday off
sunday squats and light pulling or pressing
monday off

on off days i might do some dynamic stretching and work on kicks etc.

here is a small vid i just edited to post video stats of me. some of these clips are old because i just got myself a camera. not the best shots but i dont have any other.

damn i just checked out your double back attempts. nice !
though your vertical doesnt proof any of your lifting stats seeing you trying double backs on grass makes you very likeable.

[Kris]

Nah, but maybe someday... *looks wistfully into distance*

Edit: My clean and snatch still need a lot of work. I splay my feet somewhat in the clean and I can't really catch in the squat position in either.

i have the same problem. cant really catch in the squat position. neither in the snatch nor in the clean.
how are you working at it?

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I also have the same problem,but I'm also very inexperienced in the Olympic lifts so I'm bound to have tons of problems.

[chicanerous]

i have the same problem. cant really catch in the squat position. neither in the snatch nor in the clean.

I'm not really at the moment. I only have bumpers when I'm home from college, so, most of the year, I really can't miss weights safely trying to learn. I tried over the summer, but it ended up being more like riding the weight down into a squat, as I wasn't able to take enough off the pull or use weights heavy enough to need to get way down. I think the best thing to do at the moment is probably just work on flexibility and my squatting so that I'm very comfortable in the bottom position and in my ability to manipulate heavy weights. Also, try to get over the bad habit of splaying the feet somewhat on heavy power cleans. Then, when I have the proper equipment again, work at receiving in the low position.

[SuperChimp]

protein.

[jan]

What do you mean by "splaying the feet"?

My biggest problem with power cleans and such, is that I can't get under the barbell much. I probably clean it up to my chest before I go under the bar. I hardly squat at all.

[chicanerous]

What do you mean by "splaying the feet"?

My biggest problem with power cleans and such, is that I can't get under the barbell much. I probably clean it up to my chest before I go under the bar. I hardly squat at all.
Splaying is moving the feet outwards, instead of bending the knees more to catch the bar. It means that the feet have moved to a wider stance than the one you would use if you needed to descend into a full squat to receive the barbell. It's a bad habit and usually shows either a disconnection with what your body is doing or, perhaps, some latent fear about the lift.

If you splay, you're likely working against the barbell instead of with it. By that I mean you're not moving to receive the barbell however low you pull it, but instead are pulling it however high you need it. This means, when the barbell doesn't rise past a certain point, you're going to be stuck as you're not going to have the instinct and will to get under it -- even though it's physically possible for you to still do so.

[jan]

Seems like you've pointed out my problem pretty well. I feel hit.

[The Laughing Man]

my best for one rep, followed by what I've done for reps:

Squat 170kg (7x5x145kg)
Bench 120kg (1x6x102.5kg)
Deadlift 235kg (175kg x 6)
Power Clean idk

Testing a new squat and bench press max this weekend, hoping for 182.5kg and 130kg.

Update:

Failed to set a new bench PR, but squatted 190kg today! Bodyweight 86.10kg in the morning.

[BboyAgua]

Bench: 265 lbs
Squat: 315 lbs
Deadlift: 355 lbs
Power clean: 205 lbs

My squat and power clean form are busted until I can get my ankle surgery. My left ankle doesn't flex beyond a 90 degree angle, making me bend too much at the waist when I squat. And I have the same problem as Jan, and I'm incredibly slow when it comes to dropping under the weight which contributes.

I'm currently 175 lbs at 6'1", I think everyone should post height/weight as well.

[The Laughing Man]

That's a good bench for somebody so tall/skinny, usually the tall guys get screwed with benching!

[BboyAgua]

That's a good bench for somebody so tall/skinny, usually the tall guys get screwed with benching!

Thx! I HEAVILY focused on my bench for 8 months straight, neglecting a lot of other stuff but my max went up 10 lbs each month. I went from 165 to 245 in that time, and didn't gain much mass. Now I need to fix my embarrassing legs.

[Skippy]

Didn't you bench like 6 days a week Trev? what was your routine for that?

[BboyAgua]

Yeah 6 days a week.

Most of the time it was this:
-incline dumb bell press 3x 8/6/4
-flat bench sets of 5 reps @ 50%/60%/70%/80%/85%/90%/95% usually failing at 90 or 95%, followed by one more set at the failure weight
-underhand crossover pulley 3x 8/8/6

Nothing special at all really, just the most obvious way to improve the lift, which is lots and lots of benching with low reps and a minimal eccentric motion to allow the daily recovery.

[Tatsumaru]

Gonna test my 1rm's this week, so I'll post mine next weekend. I wonder if I'll be able to bench with a painful shoulder. Damn roundoff_backhandspring practise, haha.

[Kid Knuckles]

Yesterday I did my first deadlifts since I tore my ACL!

I did 3 sets of 95lbs... and it kinda hurt my knee, but not enough to make me not want to do them again.

so that's rather exciting for me

Hope it gets better by the day! Any improvement is awesome improvement. Keep going!

[anfeyd]

Good job Kid Knuckles. You will find that the load (weight on the bar) will probably hurt more than the motion itself.

[Kid Knuckles]

yeah, it wasn't so much the motion that hurt. So I'm excited to start working my legs again!

I'm tired of these coffee stir stick legs

[stefano]

I started actually training seriously this week... And i just done my first squats and deadlifts today...

So Bench press: 1x60kg 8x50kg
Deadlift: 15x35kg
Squat: 15x40kg i think

I suck, but ill post my new results in a few months:)

[Tatsumaru]

Warm up thoroughly!


Yes!

My 1rm results:
Deadlift: 170 kg / 374 lbs
Squat: 140 kg / 308 lbs
Bench Press: 105 kg / 231 lbs

Meh, my squat really sucks. I'm 177 cm and around 85/86 kg.

I don't workout with anyone else usually so I don't have a spotter for bench, hence I do not dare more yet.

I hardly ever did heavy lifting though, I didn't have enough weight when I worked out at home and heavy lifting never really interested me. It does now though with benefits its galore!

[BboyAgua]

Since this thread is about posting yourned lifts, how bout we actually post them? With visual evidence!

I had a terrible night tonight with olympic lifts and nearly killed myself with what should have been an easy 185 lb C+J

[Rahf]

Let's get some things straight as well:

Do you consider it a successful lift where you have simply moved the weight in the pattern of motion it should be moved, regardless of ROM? Or do you not consider it good unless you have done it with a certain sense of stability (e.g. no after press on jerks, no bouncing or turning the motion earlier in bench press)?

This also affects alot. Personally I have my own preferences set from a powerlifting/OL perspective.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I have quite a good kinaesthetic sense so if I ever miss a rep I do another one to compensate. Things that come under the category "missed rep" FOR ME are: Not enough depth when squatting or not touching my chest with the bar when benching, form deterioration (which only if ever, happen doing squats & DLs) & exploding before optimal jumping position reached during power cleans; are some of the things I may encounter in a not so good training session & all of which equate to doing another better rep to compensate.

[DarkXacreD]

Bench: 140

This also affects alot. Personally I have my own preferences set from a powerlifting/OL perspective.

If the judges would call it a "good lift" in competition, than I say it's OK. Obviously certain criteria apply to each lift. Maintain 4 points of contact in the bench, squat to parallel, achieve good posture at end of DL, etc. My C+J I just posted was a fail.

[Nicholai]

It was worse than that. That's how injuries happen.

[chicanerous]

Since this thread is about posting yourned lifts, how bout we actually post them? With visual evidence!

Your C&J needs help...

Better posture with flatter back and chest up at start. Shrug without premature bending of the arms to finish the pull. Actual rack position on the catch. Either the split or power position on the jerk, but not both. Movement underneath the barbell and vigorous extension of the arms.

Good effort though! :good:

[anfeyd]

Yes bboy agua pleasee do something about your clean and jerk. It's not good.

[The Laughing Man]

Couple weeks ago, 4th Jan, 190kg raw squat, 86kg BW:

ymQkQBBwlVk

[BboyAgua]

Thanks for the advice chicane, I'll try to implement as much as I can. My technique is much better with just a little less weight, but I'm still new to OL. That C+J was so horrible because I couldn't get to rack position with decent form, and failed 10 times in a row (even though 185 lbs is usually not that hard for me), and got so frustrated I just started throwing the weight around. The clean nearly knocked me over and I posted for the lulz. I have an older C+J of the same weight on my youtube that's slightly less bad.

Beastly squat, laughing man. Hilarious accent at the end too.

[omatto]

bench: 62.5kg (3 reps) haha
Clean: 80kg (5 reps)
Squat: 155kg (5 reps)
Deadlift: 120kg (8 reps)

im 5'8 and 62.5kg, lift twice a week at the track, 1 heavy session and one strenght endurance session.
x

[BboyAgua]

You 5 rep a 89 kg clean, and a 155 kg squat? But your bench and deadlift are so poor? It seems wacky to me. Your 2 nice accomplishments should transfer over more, at least for your DLs.

[omatto]

well the bench i have no real excuse except i do athletics so its not really like that functional so we (the training group im in) dont train it much. and for the deadlift, the place we lift is a club house and doesnt have a reinforced floor, so no dropping weights. i could deadlift lots more, but on the way back down im always scared of the huge pressure on your back, so better safe than sorry i guess.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

There's a difference between being safe(preventing unwanted injury / inconvenience to training facilities) & being a pussy.

& that difference is probably 50 - 70kg.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Nice clean & squat btw.

[k-slash]

End of last week and todays workout was.

Height: 6 ft
Weight: 80kg

All 3x5

Bench: 70kg
Squat: 110kg
Deadlift: 120kg (I realised rippetoes said to do 1x5 for this, so I'm going to change it and add more weight)
Clean: 70kg
Press:55kg (only my 2nd day doing this)

I still haven't pushed it to my full potential with these yet, but I'm going to be pushing these higher and higher as solid as possible.

Yes I suck hahahahah. I just got my ruitine sorted again though, not been lifting very long yet. Only 2 months haha, and I'm only just at that stage where I'm solid with my ruitine and diet, before was a kind of learning curve I suppose, I feel I'll start to make lots of progress over the next few months.

[k-slash]

Got my deadlift to 140.

BOOM!

Still embarrasing though lololol.

[Ernest]

You're about the same as me k-slash :)

[k-slash]

Yayyyy, I just got sorted into my zone with training thuogh. I feel like I'm gong to make some serious gains over the next few weeks, and months.

Here are some pics to see how stick like I am right now, I will post more pics a month today.

I don't look like a stick stick anymore though, liek I did 2 months ago. Also enjoy how fucking stupid my face looks trying to do poses, it's ahrd to not look liek a stupid cunt hahahaha.

Height: 6ft
Weight: 80kg
Lifting about 2 months now or probably more actually, not 3 months though.

[Rahf]

End of last week and todays workout was.

Height: 6 ft
Weight: 80kg

All 3x5

Bench: 70kg
Squat: 110kg
Deadlift: 120kg (I realised rippetoes said to do 1x5 for this, so I'm going to change it and add more weight)
Clean: 70kg
Press:55kg (only my 2nd day doing this)

I still haven't pushed it to my full potential with these yet, but I'm going to be pushing these higher and higher as solid as possible.

Yes I suck hahahahah. I just got my ruitine sorted again though, not been lifting very long yet. Only 2 months haha, and I'm only just at that stage where I'm solid with my ruitine and diet, before was a kind of learning curve I suppose, I feel I'll start to make lots of progress over the next few months.

To squat 110kg and deadlift 140kg after a few months of training is probably a dream for many.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Oh shit! What did you do to deserve that Rahf!? Oh wait...chances are you didn't deserve it.

[k-slash]

To squat 110kg and deadlift 140kg after a few months of training is probably a dream for many.
Thanks man. My squat was at 80 kg my first day 2 months ago, and my deadlift was something like 70 haha.

Holy shit thinking about that, I've made loads of progress.

I need to step it up now though man, really want to make some good gains by march.

[TysonTF]

How much do you hope to gain?

[k-slash]

How much do you hope to gain?
I know it's a short time period, but I want to get my weight up to 200lbs and lift wise, I'm not sure how much you can really put up your lfits by in that short of a time span.

But I want to at least add 10kg to each of my lifts by then. But I'll probably add much more to my dead, squat, clean and press. My bench is going to go up slower than the rest I think. It's a serious weak point of mine, but I'm really going to push things with it and make it my strong point!

How is training going for you man?

[Colonel]

Lol i started squatting at 100kgs.

But i'm only up to like 120, 130 (max, with spot).

Started deadlifting @ 60, doubled it now xD It's just the form i find a pain.

Btw, your back is really sexy k-slash! :D

[Scott]

Alright Gayslash it's me versus you, I'm hoping to get back to 200 by March as well. I'm currently 187 when I've woken up and pooped and all that and not yet eaten. As for my lifts, my car is being an asshole and is stuck in the garage next to my barbell/squat rack/plates so I'm making do with a flat bench, a swiss ball, and up to 50 lb dumbbells. Tragic, but whatever. Endlessly long sets.

As for my lifts, uhh...don't know. Have no current numbers but the most I've done before have been silly things because every once in a while I go "hey, let's see how many times I can do this!"

SO

bench: 135x50, 225x14, 275x5 are my records...I've done 285x3 as well, but I have never moved over 300 or gone for a 1 rep max recently.

squats: 315x12 is my record, parallel, not ATG.

deadlifts: fuck me I NEVER do deadlifts

cleans: I've done 225 lbs cold before just to be a dick when Rahf was deadlifting it, so more than that (on concrete with metal plates. my form blows, I splay to the point of silliness and end up landing in a sumo squat).

snatch: the most I've ever done is 190 lbs, same deal as cleans.

military: iiiiiiii have standing military pressed 135x15 or more before. I fear 1 rep maxes with that lift.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

This sounds good. You'll have the advantage though, Scott, as you've been 200lbs before.

[Kid Knuckles]

dudes
I did squats today. I went up to 115:) anyways, I can tell that I'm favoring my left leg a lot because it's sore as shit and my right leg is only moderately sore.

Just thought I'd throw some news your way. I'll see if I can get some footy next legs day so you all can rip apart my squat and tell me how to make it better.

better lifts = more muss and more muss = more glutes and more glutes = bitches

[TysonTF]

Training has been all over the place since october last year cos of school ending and final exams. My shoulder popped out a few weeks ago and is still sore. I can do weights but I'm worried if I do my normal load it might be too heavy and pop it out again in some exercises so its effected my MOTIVATION.

Bench is a weak point of mine as well, my max is 90kg (200lbs) and when I did it probably wasn't even considered a proper lift :P A spotter would help heaps do you have one? I don't. Fly to Australia and spot me?

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I have a bisexual friend who'd probably be willing to spot you, he lives on the outskirts of Sydney & he enjoys hitting iron.

I just squatted through my jeans. I only have like 2 pairs left.

[-Envy-]

Why would you squat in jeans?

[tdmonster]

Because I'm a dumbass.

Theres no time frame set, but I know I'm going to add the 100lbs to my lifts in the near future anyway.

I am full of chocolate milk and poo and thus weigh around 192. THE GAP GROWS.

[BboyAgua]

I got my Power clean upto 75kg and my military press to 65kg yesterday :smile:

BOOM!

ah ha! I did cleans today for the first time in ages! I thought you'd done 75, so i did 77.5! Im still behind my max lift but it was good nonetheless.

Looking forward to getting stronger.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

cleans are fun

[shengoikee]

I got my Power clean upto 75kg and my military press to 65kg yesterday :smile:

BOOM!

i only recently hit 65kg with military press. it took a fair bit of work because i fucked my right shoulder last year *high fives!*

last week i did a 170kg/374lbs deadlift (the weight that hurt me before). i'm pushing for 185 but when i get there i'll be pushing for 200. and when i get there i'll be pushing for over 9000.

i'm not happy with my lifts really. time to kick ass again.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

All in good time my friend, keep it up

Ahh shit man, make sure you don't push too hard and irratate a previous injury!

Oh shit 170kg deadlifts? Thats excellent.

I have to lower my squat and deadlifts slightly. I figured out that if I do squats first (125kg) and then deadlifts, I can only do like 110kg or less deads.
But if I start with Deadlifts I can do 145kg but my squat is fucked.

So I'm going to try squat first of course with 4 sets of 4 reps at 110 kg working on explosive reps and then do 120kg deadlifts. Depending how I feel form that (I'll note that on monday) I'll up the weight from there.

I also substituted my back sqwuat on my power clean and press days to a front squat instead. Since thats a big lift I simply cannot neglect.

Man, lifting is fucking awesome.

Now I just need to be more strict on keeping my diet solid. Thats really been fucked the past month and a half or so. I'm still at 80 kg, which is where I was at the start of december. Though I have put on size anyway somehow.

Good luck with your lifts shen, don't injure yuorself though!

[shengoikee]

oh i'm not at any particular elevated risk man, don't worry. =)

the only real injury i've had in the past few months is a cracked rib (LOL). it's completely better now and i even have slightly better control over some abdominal muscles! level upz

i really need to improve my squat if anything. i'd like to hit a 200kg deadlift as a priority though. basically when i plateau i'll do infinite squats.

Aha yeah that cracked rib thing worried me slightly when I started pushing my deadlift up haha.

Yess, I really want to get all my lifts over 100kg to 200kg and lifts lower than 100, to get to 100+ this year.

[Scott]

INCLUDING BICEP CURLZZZZ?

[shengoikee]

i can't imagine squatting over 200kg haha

i only ever do them for reps because i'd probably shit out my spine etc

high rep ranges make me feel like dying (which is awesome)

[Scott]

I did a set of 150 leg lifts yesterday haha
and a set of 150 squats a few days ago
hurrah for being trapped without my beloved barbell

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Your mitochondria love you, Scott

Aha I can see myself doing it man. Probably not this year though, that would be too unrealistic haha. I really want to push my squat though.

Power cleans are by far my favorite excersise though, they are so fucking awesome.

Haha I FUCKING HATE HIGH REPS OF ANYTHING SO FUCKING MUCH.

Scott loves them though.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

A few weeks back I did a set of 20 squats with 110kg & I never wish to do anything like it again

Yes, death never felt better

But squatting 110kg in high reps= sex

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

What? You just said it was death, make your mind up

[stefano]

Well I wasn't thinking about how hard it is to squat a 110kg x20, yes its great mental feeling when you know you squatted 110 kg x20, but the pain in the quads kill don't they?

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

& glutes & hamstrings & for some reason I had pins & needles in my arms

[Kid Knuckles]

that's because the bar realized that there was too much man under it and it decided to stab your arms in an attempt to make itself feel better.


it failed.

[Rahf]

Anything above 6 reps is murder and torture. I'm such a pump-wuss.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Yes, me too, Which is why I never intend to do it again:punched:

[Kris]

aiden, whats your current 3x5?
im thinking about doing 20 rep squats soon, too. but i dont know what weight to choose, haha. because this

Anything above 6 reps is murder and torture. I'm such a pump-wuss.

is so true.

right now i have some injuries but maybe tuesday or wednesday i can get back to training, yeah!

aiden, whats your current 3x5?

right now i have some injuries but maybe tuesday or wednesday i can get back to training, yeah!Inconsistent 140kg x 3 x 5 because I can't FUCKING DECIDE WHETHER TO CUT OR NAWT! hahaha! You should take around 60 - 70% of your 1RM depending on how well you think you can cope with high reps. At the time I went for 70% 1RM knowing for well I'm shit at high reps & it really did kill me.

[Kris]

damn i feel you with whether to cut or not.
why dont you just start eating a bit more clean and a bit less than right now? you know, doing small steps in the right direction?

if 110 was 70 % of your 1 rm your 1 rm is around 160kgs. you must have gotten much stronger since your vids you uploaded on youtube. thumbs up! new vids! :)

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Yeah, haha. It does say "old" in the descriptions :wink::wicked: All of those videos were from back in October, when my current(at the time) training partner was moving to Australia.

[Kris]

you did not answer my first question !!! :)

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Oh, it seemed more like a suggestion as opposed to an actual question, haha.

Yeah, I'm pretty much eating as "clean" as it gets at the minute anyway. It's the days that I don't fit in enough calories that haunt my training.

[Kris]

question:
so you are cutting right now and thinking of getting back to bulking?
suggestion:
eat some more that it doenst haunt your training anymore. you should loose enough fat with that, i guess.

im in a similar situation, thats why i ask these question. right now im 81 kgs, want to start tricking more frequently as winter ends and questioning whether to stay at that weight or gain some more. im noob at trickz btw. mhh

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Well, at the minute my actual goal is unknown which has / is resulting in maintaining, basically. I intend to give tricking a try soon, which is partially a reason contributing to my confusion. I'm not sure if you've seen any pictures of me, but I have a little excess weight in terms of fat, but I just really hate cutting out calories; it's something I dislike, it seems to effect me quite negatively even when I be as diligent as it gets with nutrition.

I still haven't answered your question, haha
