I could make a 200kg bar go down easy if I wanted it to
Joking joking

I'm pretty close to 2xBW on bench, when I did 160 I was 83kg.

I'm far too heavy for my strength

On monday I managed 80kg bench for 1 rep. Haven't tried squating or deadlifting before but I've been looking at it for the past week. Will maybe add it on to the end of my full body workout tonight and see what I can get safely! If the gym is not over crowerd like it was on monday =P
Bodyweight as of this morning is 69 Kg XD

You are just a great big jerk
Please don't max out squatting or deadlifting the first time you try it!

Load 6 plates a side, never walk again.

Just in and pretty knackerd Nice chap in the gym showed me how to deadlift properly and one of the instructers helped me out with the squating.
Worked my way up on the squating to 50kg starting at 10kg going up 5kg a time and doing 5 reps and I can say im walking like a cowboy, my legs are really killing me)
Same with the deadlift, felt a lot safer doing it and they guys advice really helped so I picked it up much quicker Got up to 90kg nd did a few reps no problem till my fingers started to hurt :-S could probs manage a goo bit more but will practice at that for a few weeks before getting my 1RM

Got up to 90kg on your first session?
You lifted before or? Whats your height / weight?

Dem plates
There isn't enough 20kg plates to do 140 in my gym i'd have to use a 20, 25 and 15 instead Wouldn't look as badass

My height is about 5,6/5,7 Im quite small
and my weight is 69kg atm.Not done deadlift or squats before but somone showed me and made sure I was doing it properly and it felt ok. The squats seemed more difficult and my legs are in pain today tho. Feels like I've been riding a horse for 24hr haha

Fair play though man.
I've only just done 110KG deadlift for reps. And my squat is on 75kg atm, not gone past that.
Think I get put off by there being no spotters and me having to use catchers.

140 x 3 - just now - next week will be smashing pb 145
I hope that's not over extension I see there of the lower back

Could add me onto the bottom if you like and see how much weight I can add over the course of the next year
