I actually weighed myself and took measurements all over my body, plugged in those numbers into a bunch of different bodyfat % calculators and took an average.
Stats
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 228.4 lbs
Waist: 35"
Biceps: 17"
Forearms: 14"
I took a bunch more measurements but these are the only ones anyone is ever interested in.
BF%: ~18%
Best Lifts
Bench Press: 335 lbs (haven't tested this in a while)
Strict Press: 165-170?
Push Press: 225 lbs
Front Squat: 355 lbs
Back Squat: 385 lbs (high bar olympic style), I've done 425ish low bar before but the form was horrendous
Conventional Deadlift: 475 lbs ( also haven't tested this in awhile)
Trap Bar Deadlift: 510 lbs
Weighted Dips: 1 rep of 170 lbs (me + a 100 lb dumbbell + a 70 lb dumbbell)
Weighted Pullups: 3 reps of 120 lbs
BF% sounds about right. I can sometimes see ab outlines, but definitely feel huge bumps of muscle under the fat. I'm not into all that cutting and bulking, but I might just start watching what I eat (right now I eat whatever the fvck), so I can get a better strength to BW ratio.
Gotta work on the bench, squat, ohp. Deads and everything else have been going fine.
No preworkout today, and running on low sleep. Had a full half day of class and schoolwork before I lifted. I'm gonna try and catch a powernap because I still have several hours of stuff to do before I can actually go to bed.

Yeah, no real reason that I want to get super lean, I mean it'd be cool and all but getting stronger(relatively) is addicting as fvck. I'd like to sit right at 14-15%
I hope that shoulder heals sometime this millennium lol

then a whole bunch of bodyweight pullups while I was talking with another regular at my gym
It was funny, this guy only ever does bench, curls, and a whole lotta talking. Today he was telling me that he has some prohormones on the way. He basically said he's gotta cheat nature because nature cheated him. I've never seen the guy put in a hard workout ever. So how does he know that he doesn't have the tools to get it done LOL :crackup:
But whatever, I don't have anything against people who wanna take shiiit. Do what ya want
Ehhh, strength just wasn't there...but that might have something to do with the fact that today I lifted about 20 mins after I woke up...normally I lift in the afternoon/evening
