Just thinking Morba. Standard plates come in 0.5kg denominations. Best bet is probably to grab some of those and just tie them on with shoe lace or something? Or velcro them to the top of the 20/25's.
 
right might as well add me to this list.

i have never ever done a 1 rep max, so these are all my 5 rep maxes.

Bench - 75kg
Squat - 170kg
Deadlift - 140kg

Bodyweight - 100kg (need to lose about 15kg's)

i dont really want to try a 1 rep max ever in the future, i find it pointless, unless i was competing. i prefer to stick to proper rep ranges.

hoping to increase bench to 100kg, squat to 200kg and deadlift to 160kg and decreasing bodyweight to 90kg before the end of the year.

That's a seriously impressive squat! :eek: Keep it up! :cool:

The other lifts are somewhat lagging in comparison to that squat, any reasons in particular?

my legs are and always have been abnormally strong/huge, im talking about thickness.

i cannot drive most cars, due to the size of my legs. either im hitting the steering wheel or i cant move the seat back far enough.

in the cars i can drive, i usually have the seat as far back as possible and people behind me complain. im not very tall either. 6 foot lol.

you should see my volleys when i used to play football (goalkeepers were scared), the power in my legs is unbelievable. i have only been squatting for 2 months as well.

i also have a dodgy left knee, ive got a check up/pre op assesment thing on wednesday with an orthopaedic surgeon in the city. hopefully its nothing permanent, i dont know whats wrong with it yer, mri scan was about a month ago. x-rays showed nothing, so its either ligament or cartillage. my knee is loose though, so im guessing ligament.

if i had a fully working knee, i reckon i could hit 200kg within 2 months, but if i need to get operated on, it will be a big setback. i was squatting 60kg about 4 months ago and i had to take a 2 month break from training altogether due to slight shoulder injury.

like i say i have only been doing them properly for about 2-3 months, give me some more time and i should be able to post something far more impressive.
 
jus had a look at freefaller who is about the same weight as me, he probably has more muscle mass though.

Freefaller -------- 160 / 200 / 240 -------- [99] ---- 600

i should be able to beat his squat, i have no chance in beating his deadlift (my back is my weakest part i really do need to work on it some more) and his bench is probably also unbeatable for me but i should get close.
 
170 for 5 and only been squatting a few months?!?!?!?!?!

If your back is really a weak spot then that will be affecting your squat a lot. you should sort that imbalance out then you could be squatting silly weight.

My sentiments too, we've got a squatting beast on our hands!

PS you've got a serious amount of potential, address these things now whilst it's early and you've got a ridiculous amount of potential fella :cool:

im not lying dude, i never had a proper routine until about 4 months ago, i used to just do the set ones in ifitness app. mostly isolation exercises, i never even used to train legs at all, i never had the right olympic weight attachment for the curl thing on my bench.

i started stronglifts 4-5 months ago and i have had a 2 month break due to injury and for the past month i have barely trained at all.

like i say, give me some more time, i will strengthen my back, and that will add to my bench and deadlift. it is my weakest part.

yeah, its quite weird, my back was getting cramps lifting an industrial sewing machine down 6 flights of stairs last weekend, yet i can squat 170kg like it was nothing, i reckon in a weeks time if i wanted to i could do 180kg, ive not hit a wall yet, i easily add 10kg to my squat on a weekly basis when im training fully. my pc died and i have been busy with birthday's and nights out, so i havent trained properly in about a month. i hope to get back into my routine on monday.
