let's revive it

What are you max deads, squat, and bench?

[GFR]

Sadly my raw max bench, dead and squat are all about the same.

[parsifal09]

i have no idea to be honest

just started training a few weeks ago after a long layoff

i think 4 something for squat

bench, i dont know, but very low im sure

ill be trying 5/3/1 starting mon, or maybe starting strength program

[parsifal09]

i should be squatting like 1000 now, but i took 10 years off

my shoulders are double jointed,so bench is an issue, but i will 1 day hit a 300 raw bench

[parsifal09]

and my elbows r double jointed as well

good for wrestling,not so good for bench day

[colochine]

I never max I was just curious lol

I can dead 315 10-12 times
Squat is about the same
Bench I've never gone over 275 3 times.

I'm 6' 190lbs lol

[parsifal09]

my legs are very very strong

b ut i always wanted a big bench. i cant bench 275 now,not even c;lose

[GFR]

I never maxed on deads or squats. My best reps when natty were 365x6 for 4 sets on deads, 405x6 for 4 sets on raw squats....just a belt and 405x1 on raw bench, all at 215-220 and at 19 and natty.

On roids in my 30's I benched 365x18 ( could have hit 20 at least) then 3 sets with 405x12 and last set 505x2 and at 257lbs. My guess is at least a 550 max raw bench.

[parsifal09]

the thing im wondering about is this


on wendler's program, he says to add only 10 lbs per month to lower body exercises,and 5 for upper body


should I go higher?

[colochine]

Good numbers.

I work out alone most of the time and I'm usually alone in my gym so maxing
Isnt the greatest idea.

i always work out alone. so i feel you on that. the only problem is my 1rm isnt my true 1rm.

bench, its up to 255.
squat/deads?? i havent worked out my legs in 3 months. theyre too fucking big lol. all i do is put on mass in my legs. now, if only my arms would follow suit, and not my stomach!!!

[BigKevKris]

Not current but my best ever was 455 raw bench.....495 squat (sad I know)....and 495 dead.....wierd how close they all are...that was @ 218lbs BTW....Back surgery has ruined most of those numbers though...especially the deads

I have the same problem lol my legs seem to grow so much faster than my upper body.

[juggernaut]

What Wendler says is pretty much gospel....after all it is his program. What is you're reason to raise the numbers higher than prescribed, parsifa?
Have you gotten a chance to read the second edition?

it is slow, i haven't been on the site for a while, but honestly, with Ad's being shoved in your face at every corner, the front page forum listing looking so messy with ads larger than forum titles... could be why....

[EdCoan]

life support huh! That is too bad! I am going to post up a little blurb on deadlifting here shortly.. .hopefully we can get something going!
