No lift increases for me but I deadlifted 200K x 5 two weeks ago at a new bodyweight of 96K. 10K lighter and almost no drop in strength

Nice one mate - moved up from bottom slot!
I'm presuming same bodyweight? Good work mate!

About a stone lighter.
Oooh cheeky devil. I'll have to update that...
140kg - 1st = 134kg... happy with that?

the numbers here are always so bizzare how does anyone bench near their DL max is beyond me, my DL is DOUBLE my bench
Man of Honour
Mine is getting that way... I guess "typically" you'd have stronger squats and DL than bench... but it does depend on so many aspects of your physiology that's it's almost impossible to generalise that way.

My goals for the end of the year are:
150kg Bench
220kg DL
180kg squats
I think I can get there - it's going to be flipping hard work though!

Should be easy for you mate tbh :]
Only 10kg on each lift

550kg is a nice figure. My target ultimately is 600kg - but we'll have to see, I'm not really a powerlifter or wanting to be one, but I do love big lifts. It's surprising how much 10kg extra is.

Wouldn't consider myself a body builder but I'll contribute
Bench: 90
Squat : 140
Deadlift 140
Total: 370
Bodyweight: 80
Bench: 90
Squat : 140
Deadlift 140
Total: 370
Bodyweight: 80
Thought i'd finally contribute with some figures. Some are from last year, but over the next few weeks i'll be attempting some 1RM to clairfy.
Stats: 19, 5ft 10, 85 kilo. Waist 32", Chest 43".
Bench: 107.5 KG (last year, freeweight ofc)
Squat: 100 KG(Smith machine from last year)
And from yesterday after my 4th session of deadlifting, now having the correct technique, and owning some lifting straps...
Deadlift: 150 KG (straps)
A friend advised I stop at 140, but he wondered off to do some pec fly, so snuck another 5 and then 10 kilo on the bar. Lifted it about 5 times in total. Quite pleased with myself, and I dont seem to be aching at all for now! I can only assume if my back was not straight enough or form good enough, under those sorts of weights you can expect an injury if you're doing it incorrectly?
But there we go! I'll attempt a 1RM on squats sometime this week and post back, its not an exercise I bothered with much but having started training my legs over the last few weeks hopefully all 3 lifts will increase as I begin to grow properly.

Great deadlifting. You need to get those squats and bench up to speed though! Try not doing them with the smith machine.
Thanks
The squats should fly through the roof. Leg pressing with my thighs parrallel to the plate should give me a rough figure of about 150 kilo on the squat front, as this is when I begin to stall getting the plates up on the first rep, but I think thats very ambitous! my deadlift so far is bang on this. Bench is freeweight at current, but have been using dumbells for size, so going to get back under the bar this week for strength.
Unfortunatley there is only a smith machine at the University gym
I could use the olympic bar with a light weight, but I have no safe way of dropping or getting the weight onto my shoulders! So for now it'll have to be on the smith machine.

That's a bugger 
Don't do anything that will cause you injury though... Alternating between DBs and BBs for chest is very important IMO.

Yeah, its a tad frustrating, but I work around it. Doing deep leg press, and lunge walking, which currently is probaly my favourite exericse (really hits the glutes). After about 12 sets of between 80-110 kilo leg press, with 20-25 reps in each set, with thighs parralell to the plate, its absolutley killer! but i love it
Then I'll jump back on the leg press and do sets of 6 heavy presses, and then finish off with leg extensions!My training partner, is ultimatly going for size, and is quite a big lad anyway, only has 2.5kilo over me on the bench, but hops straight on 40's for DB press. Where as i've lost a lot of chest strength over summer, but I can feel it coming back already
I'll post back sometime this week with a max rep squat and then you can put my lifts in the first post.
