Shit I need to enter into a competition.
My gym numbers aren't bad. I pulled 505 again three days ago just messing around Bench 385 with a pause easily. My squat is what sucks. 405. I'm at 188 lbs. Not taking anything except a pre workout and protein. I guess the only thing really going for me is a strong bench press. If this routine really works and can get me into the 500s plus on squat, I think I will be pretty well off at my weight. If I stay around the same weight. My previous numbers were close to the same. Bench was higher though. 405 with a pause. Deadlifts were 525, and squats never more than 405 for some reason. I was also 200-207 lbs with these numbers. |

View Quote Just by running these numbers, it looks like I am stronger pound for pound in everything except squats. You are squatting 2.27 times your bodyweight, but I'm only at 2.15x. I wonder how much stronger I would be if I put on 40 pounds. I would probably look like a neckbeard since I'm 5'7" lol Whats AZ's numbers? |

I just got back to three plates, myself, for the first time since my last injury. I don't know how long I can keep going, though, since my right arm is all sorts of fucked up. Interestingly, my OHP has taken a shit, and I stalled hard at 200 lbs., whereas I was at 220 before my injury. I think it is largely mental, although I have a specific physical issue I need to resolve. |

I do ok per pound on back and front squat, snatch and clean- but my jerk, press and bench and DL are not impressive at all. For instance. HTUSA back squats 450lbs Roland back squats 450lbs While Roland is only 6'0''(its a guess) HTUSA is 6'9'' or 10'' depending on the day. 9-10 inches of depth is a big deal to a back squat. Same goes with deadlift,, bench is a little less because of arm length. So Ill never squat close to 800 pounds, or deadlift 1000lbs, you short people will. You have shorter distances to pull it. Im ok with that. IMO Im still just as strong, just in a different way. Its physics man..... Oh and Ill never squat over 2 times my body weight. If I were to get to my supposed 250lbs, I would look like a damn Nigerian. So Ill maintain my 350ish and be happy about it. |

My best lifts since being run over/put back together and this recent round of injuries include:
485 squat 495 deadlift 320 NGBP 190 Klokov I'm 5'10" and was ~200lbs (+/- 5) for each of those lifts. |

No shame here
Ill post my best when I was in college 8 years ago. I still have my lift log from back then. I was young and only put in 2 years of solid work. After that I quit lifting. Took a 3 year hiatus and just started again in January. I could barely get 225 squats done. Seriously I am surprise how quick I ramped it up. Before 315lbs 18% body fat Squat 315x1 Deadlift 325x1 Bench 225x1 Front Squat 165x1 Power Clean 165x1 Power Snatch 185x1 As of last week 370lbs 28% body fat Squat 425x1 Deadlift 415x1 Bench 245x1 Front Squat 225x1 Power Clean 180x1 Power Snatch 185x1 ** End of the workout and was extremely tired not excuse but it is what it is. Stronger as I aged, IDK. |

Using lifting straps as handles I hit 255 on front squats without shoulder pain. I'll give it at least another month before I try working up back squats or Deads again. For now FS, GM and SLDL are feeling good.
