How much can you lift?

[Aiken_Drum]

This is not a post to fight to see who can do more bench or **** like that.
I'm just curious about your stats, including weight & aprox. bf %.
So post your lifts. Not the maximun since I never do 1 rep and most of you don't from what I've read. Post your max weight for 6-8 reps.

Right now I'm 190 pounds with a bf % of about 14.

Dead lifts: 265 for 8 reps.

Squats (to the bottom): 220 for 6 reps.

Bench: 176 for 6 reps.

Cable rows: 190 for 6 reps.

Chins: 9 reps with body weight.

Straight barbell bicep curls: 95 for 6 reps

Triceps Dip: 8 reps with body weight.

Close Grip Bench: 145 for 6 reps.

Upright rows: 125 for 6 reps.

Standing military press: 110 for 6 reps.

45° Leg Press: 462 for 6 reps (yeah baby!!!).

Lying Leg Curl: 220 for 6 reps.

Dumbell Shrugs: 88 in each hand for 8 reps.

Cable Standing Fly: 60 pounds in each hand.

Well I think that's all!

P.S.: anyone knows the difference between chins & pull ups? Check www.exrx.net\Lists\ExList\BackWt.html , they are 2 different exercises but I can't find a difference between them.

I think the difference between the two is you do pull-ups with your palms facing away from you. And chin-ups are done with your palms facing you. Not sure though.

No, check the site.
That makes sense, but what you say is called rear handed pull ups or something like that.

And how much is that, Mr. immature

?

 

[jakethasnake]

For me:


I'm 158 pounds with a bf % of about 12.

Dead lifts: Never tried. Too scared to do it without proper instruction, and I've never been taught how.

Squats (to the bottom): 295 for 4 reps. I have strong legs.

Bench: 165 for 6 reps.

Cable rows: Don't do this.

Chins: 10 reps with body weight.

Straight barbell bicep curls: 80 for 10 reps

Triceps Dip: 12 reps with body weight.

Close Grip Bench: 135 for 10 reps.

Upright rows: Nope.

Standing military press: Nope.

45° Leg Press: 590 for 10 reps. No Joke, like I said, I have disproportionately strong legs.

Lying Leg Curl: Don't do these, a waste of time.

Dumbell Shrugs: 60 in each hand for 8 reps.

Cable Standing Fly: Don't do these.


A lot these I don't do, because I stick to the core strength exercises like the bench, pullup, squat, mixed in with some specific ones like bicep curls, skull crushes, etc.
Not because I claim to know so much about bodybuilding, but b/c I consider myself an intermediate lifter, and b/c I believe that when ur not an expert, you should stick to the tried-and-true basics.

All these weights are what I could do two months ago, I dislocated my kneecap so I'm obviously lower now:

I'm 5'11" 175, 16 years old. As far as body fat I don't know, very little though. My school's weight room has pretty much only free weights, so I've removed some of the exercises form the list and added some of what I do.


Bench: 225 x 5

Bicep Curl: 35lb dumbells x 8

Standing Tricep Curls: 40lb dumbell x 8

Triceps Dip: 14 reps

Squats (to the bottom): 390 x 8

45° Leg Press(Hip sled): 700ish for 8 reps(I can't remember the exact weight, I just remember me and my friend had all the 45 and 100lb weights from our gym on there lol)

Other exercises I do are fly's, incline bench, and the ab/back stuff. I also run short distance sprints to keep my speed up(usually rotate between 400's, 100's and 40's).

Bullsh*t.

 

[ceekay]

19 year old college soph, 6 feet tall, 185 pounds no clue about body fat%, i run track so my training is more explosive specific for sprinting as opposed to building bulk, here are 1 rep maxes from last year since we have yet to test this year:
Squat: 410
power clean: 285
bench press: 310

my workouts really focus on the olympic and core lifts with strength circuits and a lot of ab work (most important muscles you got)

-it would also be interesting to compare the squats on here according to height, since a shorter, stockier build is much more likely to put up a lot of weight

Before I reinjured my knee in football --not in a big injury, just enough to be annoying when I lift, and now it's healed, I just haven't been lifting much lately 'cause of the football season-- I could do about 8-10 leg presses with like 800ish pounds. I figure I can still hit 400-500 for the same reps.

Bench I'm incredibly weak: 100x7-8

The rest I can't remember, and I haven't been in the gym much since late august anyway, so.. I do realize my legs are too strong for my upper-body, but I'll work on that this winter and spring.

Oh, btw, I'm 195-200 and have probably 20%+ BF. (How do you figure that one out anyway?)

Unless you test, it's very innacurate. I've seen ppl with different bfs & have some clue to the level I might have.
You start seeing your abs in the single digits (some definition).

I'm 6 feet by the way.

 

[College_Man]

20 years old, junior in college, 136 lbs., 5'6, and about 6% body fat.

Bench Press - 250 lbs. x 1
Incline Press - 200 lbs. x 1
Squat - 415 lbs. x 1
Deadlift - 400 lbs. x 1
Standing military press - 150 lbs. x 1
Dumbell Shrugs - 70 lbs. in each hand x 8
Dumbell Bicep Curls - 40 lbs. x 8
Dips - 20 reps w/ body weight

That's about it...

 

[Big N]

Alright, Ill post my crap, but the real reason Im posting is to ask about DLs and shrugs...

Height - 5'10
Weight - 160
BF% - Im guessing between 10 and 15%

Squat(parallel) - 265*6
Bench - 170*4
DL - 170*6
Shrug - 180*6
Seated Barbell Military Press - 115*4
Bentover Row - 115*6
Standing barbell biceps curl - 65*6
Closegrip Bench - 140*6

Ok...my question about DLs and shrugs is this: I can probably do more weight on both, but I cannot hold on to the bar for more than 10 or 15 seconds once I get up around 180 lbs.
I grip the bar on both with an overhand grip. Should I try a different grip? Will weighted forearm exercises help?

Thanks.

Are you kidding me, with these lifts? There's no way you could do that at 136 lbs.

Alright... Time to stop the bullsh*t train.

 

[DIESEL]

Hey studmuffin,

how do we know that 370 bench is bullshyt??

The rest of your upper body lifts are garbage by comparison.

calling you out,

While I know I don't have to prove myself on this board and there really isn't any way for me to prove the numbers I have, all I can do is tell you is that they are true. I was a powerlifter in high school and VERY successful at it also. I won state in my weight class as a senior. I've been out of high school for 3 years now and haven't stopped lifting. In high school my maxes on the big 3 (bench, squat, and deadlift) were:

Bench 150 x 1
Squat 315 x 1
Deadlift 360 x 1

back then I only weighed 120 pounds. Those numbers are also true because I have the trophies to prove it. I also have the programs where my name is listed with the weights I qualified at.

A jump of about 100 pounds in each lift over a span of 3 years is not unreasonable, plus I know and have seen people my size that can easily bench over 300 pounds. After all I've said, if you still don't believe the numbers I'm posting are possible for someone my size, go to www.usapowerlifting.com and look at the meet results from some of the college meets. The poundages are usually in kilos, so you'll have to convert it.

 

[Eltosian]

I'm 5'9", 170 lbs. I don't know my bf%, but my waist is about 30 inches right now.

As far as my lifts go, I can't give any concrete numbers right now, as I am training for "Master of Sports" in Kettlebell lifting.
