My concern is not getting re-injured. I don't care too much if my lift numbers hit the normal comparative par. As long as I'm making some progress, ratios don't concern me.

That's pretty close for me... very close actually.
300 bench 385 back squat 480 deadlift 180 strict press Wow I'm almost exactly there. I haven't tried to max back squats in months. I probably won't. My form isn't perfect and I don't want to injure myself. I think I could probably back squat 400 if I tried. |

Meh, guess it works as a general guide, I think it really wouldn't matter for the average person looking to get into shape and increase lean body mass.

If squat is 1.0 and using 5RM not 1RM
Bench 0.85 OHP 0.53 DL 1.17 or if Deadlift is 5 5/4.3/3.7/2.3 My DL sucks |

I bench way more than I squat. But not as much as I deadlift.
Bench 335x3 Squat 285x6 Deadlift 405x2 Ohp? I do dumbbell press. Barbell kills my shoulders and lower back. |

Calculated maxes are 235/320/385, so I'm actually really close. I'm surprised how close everyone is in percentages.

OHP = 189 ( in the 170's ) Right there with you- Calculated max is 414 for back squat. Best actual is 405 Bench = 311 (not even close, about 240) DL = 500 (max is about 430?) OHP = 186 (max is about 170) |

Which, like, what? No. I can't even bench my body weight, although I imagine if I spent a cycle concentrating on bench I might. Doesn't relate much to my sport(s) of choice, though so I neglect it. Even so, I doubt I'd ever break 300 on the bench, while I fully expect to squat 5 plates someday. I dunno, even if you did my max front squat, you're...closer. An attainable goal, maybe. |

And it's really hard to poop when on that much pain medication. Forget work and taking care of my little place. I don't lift a ton on squats and deads... Let's be honest, I should just say I don't lift much. But I PR almost every lift day. Now I'm cutting a little fat, but am still getting PRs. Baby steps. Back has been pretty pain free since the beginning of March. Now, off to skwaat if I can get this last bit of work done.

I feel like squats are DL are "next level" almost. Only about 20% of the people in the gym are doing them. Of course it's a standard gym and they don't have any bumper plates for Olympic lifting.

You don't need bumper plates for squats or deads.
It is handy when doing deads heavy so you can drop the weight but it is not essential. Bumper Plates come in handy for heavy Snatches, Cleans and overhead work. You shouldn't be dropping squats but re-racking. |

I feel like squats are DL are "next level" almost. Only about 20% of the people in the gym are doing them. Of course it's a standard gym and they don't have any bumper plates for Olympic lifting. Lots of people using the leg press sled thing, I've never used it. Is there any point? They shouldn't be next level. -Squats and DL are not Olympic lifting -You don't need bumpers for them squats > leg press |

squats > leg press I decided to incorporate the leg press today. I'm doing single-leg presses to even out the legs, my left is far weaker than the right (that and I'm really getting bored and still can't use my wrist). But I did squats for 3 sets of 8 at 75% of max prior to doing leg press. Most people do them instead of squats because they are afraid of the barbell so they do hack squats on the leg press instead. Not completely worthless, but close. |

But because we don't have bumper plates it makes Olympic lifts a little harder to get into- as in, my gym isn't set up for that at all. I didn't imply that squats were Olympic. |

Gotcha, sorry I misinterpreted. Yes, Oly is very tough to get into with some bumpers. You can do the basics (which is great) but never go very heavy. |
