Thread: Bench vs squat!

Im 210lb. 315 on bench, 405 for squat

i am 205lbs, 255 bench, 345 squat...i have been chasing that 315 bench 405 squat well done sir!!

good work lads! my eg.. which was Im 170lb Bench 220lbs squat 250lbs.. is my actuall stats althought i could go heavier on my bench for my 1rep max, i am reluctant to try with no spotter (train alone 99% of the time) haha my reason for so small increase in squat is due to a car crash a while ago with 1 broken leg smashed knee cap to pieces and other leg injured with broke bones in other ankle makes running difficult squatting every thing legs wise even walking up a simple flight of steps my foot which my ankle was broke tends to rest at a funny angle due to the bone which was broke! my aim is to have my squats ALOT heavier.. i DO NOT and WILL NOT be a "t-shirt trainer" my little legs have really got there work cut out.. watch this space and keep the posts coming in!

186lbs. 275 bench, 370 squat.

255lbs 385 bench 205 squat training for cage fight doing high reps on legs.

205lbs one rep max 345 bench 455 squat.

I wasn't gonna post since my numbers aren't much to brag about but since we are close in stats, I figure it might be of interest to you.

I'm currently at 173 lbs (5'11").
Bench is 205 lbs (weak, I know).
Squat is 315 lbs (when I was 10 lbs heavier).

240lbs, bench 495, squat 135lbs as i snapped my femur so cant lift squats anymore heavy.

Some of the guys numbers are pretty high! but these guys are probly weighing in about 15-16 stone lol weather they are built like a bodybuilder is a whole different ball game.. power lifters can lift crazy weight but alot (not all) are built like couch potatoes.. still its an interesting read..

5' 9" 210lbs. I never bothered doing 1 rep max for any lift, and I have no intention to, either!

Chest 385lbs for 6
Squat 405lbs for 10.

I would love to go for 400lb bench, but I do not want to blow out an elbow or my shoulder to do it. .

Im 170lb Bench 220lbs squat 250lbs..

Just curious as to how much of a difference youse have between the two.

Cheers

I like benching more than squating. Much more of a manlier exercise. I bench 325.

squats separate the men from the boys

Is that what you think about a movement where your ass is sticking out? LOL
Having great strength in the upper body is far more impressive than the lower.

Hate these cock-measuring threads, but what the hell.

BW: 194
Bench: 264
Squat: 396
Dead: 440 (Included because my squat sucks)

Lifts all tested over 6 months ago, so I hope those numbers would be higher if i tested right now. Will be doing another round of 1RMs after my next comp sometime.

It doesn't look like anyone singled you out, so why are you defending yourself?

Bench: 305 x 3
Squat 495 x 5
