Sorry to hear you're injured 
Hope you get well soon and get back to big lifts!

Chalk is vital for heavy lifts IMO. Whilst my grip is good for 300kg (rack pull - not a DL unfortunately 
) I doubt I could lift a 200+ DL with confidence without it now.
A good way to build up grip strength is to use double overhand grip for as heavy as you can go. I'm now up to 180 or so which is pretty cool.
HOWEVER!!!!!
On to more important things...
DS the beast that he is has achieved an incredible 185Kg squat @ 70kg!! INSANE! Fantastic work matey. You should be so proud of yourself.
N19h7m4r3 (can we change your name please?!
) awesome work!
2 of the most impressive lifters here if not the most impressive lifters here on the whole forum. I doth my hat to you both. I am in awe.
When I get to my new gym with a proper power rack I shall be working on repping 200kg and then pushing myself for my 220kg target
Then 250+ Dls will come along too - just you wait... That'll put you a bit further away However it doesn't change the fact that your INCREDIBLE power to weight ratio is mind blowing. I am so so impressed. 
Keep up the good work guys.

We just use a standard 20kg olympic bar
I'd suggest that most arent' doing full reps and/or being economical with the truth.
Also you point out something fairly fundamental. "bodybuilding forum". This is a computer based forum with a side process for hobbies of which one sub forum is sports.
17year olds that can lift over 500kg are rare and remarkable so I suggest that you're also slightly misinformed
Sorry if it sounded like I was having a go Skull, I wasn't - I was just making a point, maybe excessively forcibly! 
Updated the first post. Fantastic lifting chaps! G_dawg - very impressive indeed!
Don't apologise, made my life much easier!
Nice!
Awesome work JC
Happy to add a separate league table by BW ratio.
Do we want to take a ratio for each lift and then take the average of the 3 ratios?
i.e. for me it would be:
1.6 (bench)
2 (squat)
2.4 (deadlift)
Which gives me an average of 2x BW.
Or do we want to do it differently?

It's just an idea since someone suggested adding a second league. Not saying that's the right way of doing it.
Will do. I'm sure there must be a premade calculator somehwere...
I'll make a 2nd league table with the updated scores as and when I can... hopefully before my holiday!
I found one - works well.
Indeed - I don't even make it to class IV!!!
I think I agree. I'd be at a lowly 2.0
In at #25! Good work.
Good work.
Because your rom is more than someone else it should be valid even though it's not a full lift?
The distance travelled is not what is in question here.
Unrack barbell, touch down on chest (no bounce), push back up, rack. Simple
End of argument really.
Irrespective of arm length, etc... if the bar doesn't touch your chest, for powerlifting it doesn't count as a lift.
For regular training and ROM - that's a whole separate debate.
That would be worth addressing.
I'd like to be added.
100KG Bench
140KG Squat
150KG Deadlift
130KG Body weight (a fair amount of chub
Had a little powerlifting competition last night at our club (three lifts at each)
Got a PB in every liftAll lifts were judged by a former competing powerlifter
Weighted in at 78kg
Squat: 150kg
Bench: 100kg
Deadlift: 205kg (B)
Can I join in?
Bench Press: 75kg
Deadlift: 115kg
Squat: 140kg
6'3 @ 90kg body weight. Give me 6 months and I'll have my deadlift equalling my squat.
Updating now - let me know if I've missed anyone out.
