Shear curiousity

Bench_It · 03-01-2001, 05:36 AM

This isn't to try and one up people or see who the strongest is, but I'm curious. I've seen a whole lot of stats of people who are about my same size. 5'8, 230# (ok same height

). What weights are people working out with? i.e. bench, squat, leg press? And how long have you been working out?

bench - 270#
squat - 315# (approx.)
leg press - 410#
Working out about 3 years out of the past 15 years...ok I have a slight case of A.D.D... religiously for the last 3 months.

Like I said, I'm just curious. This isn't meant to try and embarrass anybody.

Shut Up and LIFT!!

Pianomahnn · 03-01-2001, 05:49 AM

So, I'm 5' 9" (respectively), and weight about 140. 19 years old.

I took about 2 years off of anything exercise related,(sat in front of my PC and ate Wendy's triple cheeseburgers all day) and just started lifting about 2 months ago.

This is of recent:

Bench: 150 5 times.

Squat: Can't do it because I have a large gap in between to of my vertebrea, and it will cause me excruciating pain.

Leg Press: 550

So, I'm kind of getting more buffer. Big pimpin, or something like that.

OneKikAssWoman · 03-01-2001, 05:45 PM

speaking of journey....when I started lifting 2 yrs ago, I could barely squat the bar and I do not remember ever benching the bar until later on.....no matter how far I've come, I still feel weak.....

EarWax · 03-01-2001, 06:58 PM

I started one year ago and I didn't know anything about lifting or diet. Now I am beginning to learn more, which could be a dangerous thing heh.

Mule · 03-01-2001, 08:08 PM

I have been doing reps lately so here they are:

bench= 225 x 10-12
leg press= 705 10-12
squat= 305 10 - 8 (no belt)

I have never maxed out and I've been lifting for about 2 1/2 years, i never seen the purpose, I would rather look like I could bench alot than that I can or not.

Engine#9 · 03-01-2001, 08:56 PM

height 5'7 barely
weight 165-170

bench-235
squat-265 I know I know
deadlift-305
I started about a year and a half ago at only 135. I am still pretty small but not compaired to what I used to be or the rest of my faimly. I neglected legs which is why my squat is so bad, and i just started deads about a month ago.

EarWax · 03-01-2001, 10:15 PM

I never try for my max so I don't know--if I did I might not find enough weights

Bench Press: 155 x 8 (I don't have a spotter)

Leg Press: 350 x 10 (I was up to 400 but my knees couldn't take it)
Smith Press: 215 x 10
Iron Press: none.. I don't have an iron ha ha!
