5'6
190 pounds
20.5 inch arms
295 flatbench

He was 15 when he made this lift.

I was able to pull 385 off the ground at 140 pounds.

deadlift's hurt like a bitch.

I was able to lift one of Carl's Juniors Ultimate 6 dollar burgers (Does that count?)

**RedDragon** · 11-03-2003, 09:13 PM

I have a friend who weights about the same as me. Maybe less(possible 150) and he can bench 265, but he's stocky and has good short arms for it. I unfortunately am quite lanky and have long monkey arms. Anyone else have this problem.

**firestorm** · 11-03-2003, 09:18 PM

Currently my 1 rep max on bench is a little over 275 since I did it 5 times today last set of flats. It probably works out to 315 but it's been going up every week since I started training again.

**RedDragon** · 11-03-2003, 09:22 PM

That friend I was talking about. I don't know his dads name (cause he doesn't come around much) but he use to be big into power lifting and set a record at one time. I don't remember how much he benched but he's over fifty now and still benches in the 500's. So I guess my buddy has good geans for it. It's pretty cool, not many people can bench 265 and run a 18 minute 5k. His twins even faster but not as strong.

**RedDragon** · 11-03-2003, 09:33 PM

110lbs isn;t bad butterfly. I have a friend or two who can't even do that. Believe it or not one of them somehow passed the natiional guard. I'm still wondering how he did it, I'm telling you this guy couldn't even do 1 pushup. Yeah that's right 1.

**FrequentVirtue** · 11-03-2003, 10:00 PM

Well I wish i could say 250 or something big but no all i got is 165 at 1 rep. But hey im tryin thats all that matters. My goal is to get atleast 200 by summer.

Not even one?!? That's pretty bad

Scary thinking he is in the National Guard.

5 new female clients huh? I'll pray for them

**RedDragon** · 11-03-2003, 10:15 PM

don't waist your fear yet. In a few more months he'll be an MP.

I believe him. A 3xBW deadlift is not unheard of.

**spartan** · 11-04-2003, 10:29 AM

I have a buddy who at a body wieght of 160 can pull up close to 575 . He is a paratrooper who is not quite right.

I like training the ladies..... My mate was trying to get them to lift way too heavy. I been concentrating on form and they love it.

**Randy** · 11-04-2003, 12:25 PM

Well I guess speaking for myself it definately sounds impressive, since I never attempted dead lifts before. If 3x the body weight is fairly common then I guess I can shadow my doubts.

**Triple Threat** · 11-04-2003, 12:28 PM

There's a big difference between "not unheard of" and "fairly common".

**Randy** · 11-04-2003, 12:32 PM

Let me rephrase... Let's say that it was a believable, or achievable lift. Is that better?

**Mudge** · 11-04-2003, 12:35 PM

I've never tried double, but I am sure I could do double, not much more if any.

**Randy** · 11-04-2003, 12:44 PM

I stay away from it primarily due to my back. Well that and power lifters usually have big guts. I don't want a big gut.

**Mudge** · 11-04-2003, 12:55 PM

Anybody outside of the 275 pound class is a "super heavyweight," plenty of those guys have guts.
