[JaWalks]

Been training properly since May and as of this week my 1rm are...

Bench - 122.5
Squat - 170 (with a belt)
Deadlift - 220 (with chalk)

Weight - 102kg

Need to get that bench press up!

Only filmed the squat and dead but I'll add the vids later. Hope you can trust me on the bench.

 

[icecold]

Why? If anything, your squat is a little low in relation to your deadlift.

 

[SMed]

Yeah, squat seems a little low for those lifts. Nice progress since May though.

 

[JaWalks]

Just that bench is probably my favourite lift and means more to me. But yeah I admit I need to get more motivated on squat day. I hate leg day.

 

[TommyV]

Heya,

Please update my bench to 143kg (raw). Am at 87.5kg currently.

Cheers mate

edit: just realised I hadn't updated my squat, max I managed last summer before the hammy went was 134. A small increase, but it all helps

 

[LiE]

Good work Tommy, just need to work on having a squat more than your bench press

 

[TommyV]

Good work Tommy, just need to work on having a squat more than your bench press

Yeah.

ACL reconstruction and muniscus surgery somewhat hinders that right now.

 

[LiE]

ah fair enough

 

[TommyV]

ah fair enough

Isolation on the legs is fine, but over a prolonged period if I do large compounds 1/2 times a week on it, it really starts playing up

Will buy something to strap it up with so it feels more robust.

Watch this space, Squat will be up there in coming months

 

[LiE]

Update please
LiE -------- 160 / 172.5 / 230(b) ------ [81] ---- 562.5

 

[tom_e]

All updated

 

[LiE]

Thanks. Could you change the (s) on the DL to (B), no longer use straps but use a belt now.

 

[LiE]

New squat PB tonight, also dropped my bench press PB to 155 because I'm not happy with the previous 160 attempt.

LiE -------- 155 / 200(B) / 230(B) ------ [81] ---- 585

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Sure you don't want to drop it to 150?

Fantastic lifts for your BW!

 

[LiE]

Thanks
The 160 was pretty bad tbh, the 155 was tidy!

 

[LiE]

We should get some more videos in here of people's maxes. Would be great to see things like form and technique.

I'll start.

[stiv121]

Not got videos but would really like to get some but still scared of asking somone to video me Been focusing on cutting at the moment but have still gained a little strength.

Bench is still 100kg but I've not gone for a max in ages.
Squat 110kg
Deadlift 155kg (B)
Bodyweight is down to 65kg!

so...

Stiv121 -------- 100 / 110 / 155 ------ [65] ---- 365

 

[dod]

quick update, bench up, my weight down I think I could add to the squat and deadlift but I'll just keep doing what I'm doing for now.

dod -------- 70+/ 110+ / 120+-------- [82] ---- 300

 

[T1Cybernetic]

Ha ha I came to check up on the totals and only just found this newer thread

I am out of action for a few more weeks but with 445KG total I am confident I can crush that when I get my ass back in the saddle. Plus I've put on a few pounds though which might affect the balance of things In a good way hopefully...

 

[Djdom56]

I get grumpy reading this thread because my 460kg total is from almost a year ago and if it wasn't for silly injuries I'd have completely smashed it by now .
