That's impressive Tommy, I'd be happy losing no strength after 6 months off deadlifts.

Maybe there is still plenty of glute drive there from doing legs, and shaggin'

Nice lifting Tommy! 200kg is hitting hardcore category in my books :cool:

Glute drive is the easy part, getting it off the floor with a flat back only using your legs is the hard part.

Can I be cheeky enough to ask you guys how tall you are and how much you weigh? To get an idea of how much you lift compared to that.

Amen

Disco, check out the powerlifting totals thread, on the first page you'll see many peoples weights and their 'big 3'

Have a look at the powerlifting totals thread - it's pretty much got most of that info.

Ah of course, that's helpful, thanks. No heights though

a bit of a stiff/sore back from the weekend - wife decided a good time to clear out the loft etc - clambering around in the loft has done nothing for my back!! Thought it best to give SL's a miss today and see how it is tomorrow.

I think me, Skill and Steeds are ROUGHLY 6 foot (give or take for the other two) and Freefaller is about 8.3ft tall...........?

TommyV · 2 Apr 2012 at 10:54

5'11 here.

Freefaller · 2 Apr 2012 at 10:55

Lots of people have posted their heights in that thread. It makes little odds in terms of what you're able to lift. Of course some heights/body configurations are more predisposed to be better or better suited at some lifts, but unless you're at top elite level, it has little odds.

A shade under 6'1". Currently 92.5kg.

I guess so. But if you're skinny like me then height makes a big difference to your weight compared to your strength

5'9". Manlet status achieved.

Syla5 · 2 Apr 2012 at 11:16

5' 7 3/4"

Damn it the 3/4's makes a difference!!!

GarethSouthgate · 2 Apr 2012 at 11:27

~5'10" and a whooping 60kg of pure muscle.

Hi sigma *think* we might be about the same strength (going off your bw and height, and how much you deadlifted a couple of pages back)

we should compare lifts to see how we both progress.

I'm 6" and ~ 72kg

icecold · 2 Apr 2012 at 12:39

5'11" @87kg, and dropping...

LiE · 2 Apr 2012 at 12:49

5'11" and 82.7kg as of this morning

J.T · 2 Apr 2012 at 13:07

5'8" @ 85KG...

Why are we doing this now? :confused:

EDIT: Ahhh just read a bit more, pointless me posting as none of you know how much I lift, lets just say Superman comes to me for help sometimes... :cool:

I jest...

Djdom56 · 2 Apr 2012 at 13:18

5'9" and I have no idea because my scales are broken :mad:

, I could be over 80kg by now
