I love the gear

So thats

100kg Bench
230kg Deadlift
200kg Squat
all @ 16st5

Warwick-hunt

whats that in pounds, the squat that is, not the money owed

midget1500

x 2.2 for pounds therefore 440

super_si

Squats 440lbs
deadlifts 507lbs
bench 220lbs

Hope to add at least another 20lbs to all those in the next 5 weeks im coming in at 220lbs i think

Warwick-hunt

i've never been 16st5 si but i've squatted 510lbs for 12 to the floor reps,

hit the 500lb squat and i'll be impressed

super_si

I would say well done heman congrats but ive no idea what your genetics are.

The fact you had to ask the conversion kgs/lbs also doesnt really convince me of your lift

milo

is that 510lbs for 12 raw?

if so, that's a theoretical 1rm of around 750lbs+ parallel, and suited, belted and wrapped that should give you around a 800-850lb+ single without even trying. assuming you're english and you say you're under 16st5 you should compete at national level if you're not already. you'd clean up at that weight range, especially if you're way below the 16st mark.

super_si

down in brum my mates seen a PL

do 300kg * 10 **** me!

Warwick-hunt

lol, i wasn't having a go mate, i do have strong legs so i may have an advantage.



i always work out what i lift in pounds, we don't need kgs
i tried cutting my sets down like dorian yates says and i do three sets of squats, 100 300 500,
i got stuck at 510, i just do smith machine squats at the minute.
if your still not convinced mail me and i'll send you a pic of my legs, lol

super_si

doesnt matter lmao now @ smith machine use a free bar then come back boasting

Warwick-hunt

yep, i don't agree about doing 800+ for a single rep though, i think that sort of weight would snap me,

super_si

Was the 500lbs on the smith? could squat my house if you hooked it up to the smith!

Warwick-hunt

no, no, as i said i got stuck at 510 on the squats (free bar) so i now am trying smith machine squats, the leg press in our gym is Crap so i don't have much of a choice.

super_si

going to say!! hows the dead and squat? Im a deadlift man myself! going to invest in some decent powerlifting shoes though.

Tried suited lifting yesterday takes pain to a new level

Warwick-hunt

i couldn't dead lift to save my life, i just can't get comfortable with it.

super_si

sweet youve got a weakness i love it personally done 704lbsfor 10 using car lift frame that was hard going really hard!

Short ****? age too?

milo

is this a gym in england that only has it's weights in lbs and not kgs??

why not try going heavier on freeweight squats for fewer reps instead of changing to an inferior and dangerous exercise? or do front squats.

ozzy

Milo, which one did you mean is dangerous? Smith or Leg Press?

chrome

230kg deadlift
thats not to be sniffed at mate!
you must have forearms like a gorilla to be able to grip that!

I managed 270kg on the leg press *9 (after three other sets) the other day.. altho I know I cant do that squatting... ah well.
No gear for me tho
Altho Im sick and tired of chicken/tuna LOL

milo

smith squats. they put either the knees or lower back.. or both in a compromising position.

leg press is fine.. as long as your feet are as high on the sled as possible.

milo

beef is your friend

Reg Park could bench 500 lbs in 1951, when there were barely any bodybuilder and no gear to take

milo

paul anderson squatted 1206lbs, benched 627lbs, push pressed 600lbs and deadlifted 820lbs, all raw... and back lifted 6270lbs, all around that time period (50's/60's) too, gear free

lightning101

My old training partner - brian bell used to hold the world record for bench press in 2001.

kammy

Holly molly. Im not a power lifter, but I do have respect for the dedication. Mild body-building is where my hearts at, a bit of gear and good proportions, (good legs, back etc.) Still keep pumping.
Kam-13st to 14st 6ft

Warwick-hunt

LOL

why do you want my age and height do you want a date?

we have dumbells in kg but theres a chart on the wall with the real weights on,eg in pounds, i'll leave the kgs and kilometres to the french

si you gave the weights you lift in kg but your body weight in stone and pounds, that may seem strange to some but its what your used to.

super_si

Guess so! I was just curious as to how old you are that was all

fundimental

thats a good lift, are you a bodybuilder or powerlifter?

i've done a few BB comps, best squats were 525lbs for 15, i used to get a weight keep at it until i get 15 reps then put the maximum weight up and start from scratch, to get to 15 reps again, try going higher reps on squats, imo its the best way to increase the weight you lift

no word from telboy then

ps, i use a bar with 5 x 50lbs weights on each side, so that why i've put lbs not kg

good luck in the future si, sounds like your doing well
