    Arrow How heavy can you go?

    Just wondering how heavy people out there are lifting.

    Im 18 weigh 168 & 5'10".

    Bench Press : 205lb * 4 reps
    Dumbell Press: 65lb * 6 reps
    Tricep Extension: 90lb * 4 reps
    Bicep Curl: 50lb * 4 reps
    Dumbell Shrugs: 100lb * 4 reps

    All proper form. What weights should i be aiming for, considering my weight and age (and maybe height if that even affect anything)?
    Im trying to go for low reps as my muscles respond to it better.

    I am twice your age and I do less poundage than that. So you must be doing good.

    I'm 19 years old, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, and have about 15% body fat.

    Benchpress 225 x 4
    DB Military Press 45 x 8
    CG Benchpress 175 x 8-9
    Barbell Curl 85 x 8
    Shrugs 100 x 9-10
    Squat 195 x 9
    SLDL 195 x 9
    Deadlift 225 x 9
    Chinups 0 x 6

    My back/leg lifts are a little weak because I didn't focus on them intensely enough at the beginning of my training. However, they are catching up and surpassing my upper body quickly.

    16, weight about 150 lbs, 5'7

    Bench 190x1
    Power Clean 185x1

    I don't really max for anything else. I can't squat too well cause I have a bad back. Those maxes are few weeks old.

    I guess those are okay for my size, experience, and weight but i'm not too happy about it.

    Do you really need to worry about your max when trying to build overall mass? I mean, unless your concerned with power?

    Besides bench, I don't think I've ever checked my max's. I'm guessing my max's are very close to what I do my routine with, given the intesity I put into them.

    Strength is less meaningful for pure bodybuilders, but I lift weights to increase my strength and add mass. Strength is my top priority; muscle mass and definition is second priority. I would be satisfied if I never got any bigger, but I wouldn't be satisfied if I never got any stronger.
