That is a tremendous amount of information in one thread from very many people, you might be better off browsing peoples journals.

That's not going to help you determine what you can do. You just have to use trial and error. Two people with the exact same amount of lean body mass aren't going to lift the exact same amounts anyway.

If this is because you are new to lifting, just get used to the movements, and increase weights as long as you can keep good form and feel comfortable. Once you have gotten into the groove of things, you can get more aggressive with the poundages, within reason (safety).

I want to know how hard the people in this forum have been working out. Surely I am a newcomer to this forum.

Read their journals.

Someone might still be lifting hard bench pressing 100 pounds, someone else might be taking it easy lifting 315 pounds.

That why I also asked for their weighti,if possible ,the height too. Therefore anyone of the same size can make a comparison.

Most of us I would HOPE do not do every movement known to man in every single workout we do, I stick to basic movements so I wont be seen doing fancy stuff but once in a blue moon.

My journal is some fair pages deep, but here is the link:

If you want to see good strength versus weight, check out Monstar's stuff:

He had some videos up but they look no longer available.

Yeah, seeing what other people do is an indicator of nothing. People who train for strength will seem smaller but lift bigger. People who train for appearances will appear large but lift smaller. You need to pick your own goals and let the folks here point you in the right direction.
