How heavy can you go?

[buffed]

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 23 , 6'3 and 213 lbs.


Best Bench: 305 x 1

bench press-245x5
clean-185x6
db press-70x8
db curls-65x5
incline db bp-85x6

[buffed]

hmmm.... so i guess our weight&age plays a lot of part when it comes to lifting huh?

 

[CowPimp]

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.

 

[titans1854]

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.

 

[jmr1979]

my stat are down there

 

[DEF Bungis]

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.
