Thread: Shear curiousity

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.

I'll bite,
Bench 265 x 2
Deads 315 x 4
Squats 305 x 3
Age 38 Height 5' 11" Weight 195
I started this journey 2 years ago this June
When I started I was so out of shape my bench was 125 x 4

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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!

Hight - 5'10"
Age - 30
Years lifting - On and off for 16years steady last 1.5 years
Weight - 188lb 17%bf
I don't usaly max so here's what i rep at:
bench - 245lbx5

deadlift - 315x8

35 years old
