I weigh a shade under 160 lbs, and at the moment I'm at:

Squat: 110 x 10 x 2 Bench: 121 x 10 x 2

Just getting started with lifting, so I'm still trying to get the form down pat. I feel like my squat can go a lot higher, but am taking it slow to avoid injury, heh.

The benches make me feel like that's about my 10RM, though. Thing is that I'm not really feeling anything in my chest, and that it's more my delts or shoulders which are feeling the burn. Any pro tips <_>_>

2) There is no way anyone will give an honest answer as people that suck won't chime in and people that do inevitably inflate their stats.

i don't squat or dead-lift, so i dunno.

i can bench 240 lbs on the smith machine because i'm too much of a pussy to do real bench press without a spot. regular bench is prolly 70 lbs less than that maxing out when i'm in shape lol. oh, and i weight 140 lbs.

What the hell's the point of being a juicehead gorilla who can bench 400lbs when you're not an athlete? What's the point? To the guys who are benching 300+, guarantee you're under 6' tall.

I played high major D1 basketball, and we never max tested. Why? Because it doesn't matter at all.

Ok buddy that's probably because basketball is a pussy sport. I wrestled D1, and we max tested each month. It's a way to measure progression.

My school's basketball team won the national championship while I was in school, and even they were a bunch of fags in the gym. So I don't want to hear about your "high major D1" shit.

And wrestling? Rowing? Bros, they aren't sports if nobody cares about them.

so the only reason to lift heavy is for a sport? Not sure what you are trying to get at

Most recent lifts: 5'9 ~180lbs Bench - 265x5 Squat - 315x6 Deadlift - 415x3

Bench really improved big time this winter. Squat i also go ATG, no point in squatting if you don't get low and deep. Deadlift I have been stuck on this number for what feels like years, I just can't get past it.

I'm over 6' and I can max over 300 on bench.

 

old maxes:

bench: 245x1 squat (ATG): 325x1 deadlift: 380x2

was like 3 years ago, then I had to stop lifting for a while (2 herniated discs that still hurt like hell, can't really squat/dead anymore).

been lifting again recently though trying to acquire aesthetics, gnome sayin?

Who cares? Stick with it, stay consistent and your numbers will increase.

Yeah. So far I'm only on my... 6th week in. Can't say that I can see the difference, but I can certainly feel it. Not sure if it's because of growth, or just because of form, though. My first day squatting 88 lbs (yes, 88) I felt it for a week afterwards.

 

Sophomore year college:

Body weight: 210-220lbs Bench: 365 x 3 Squat: 405 x 8 Deads: 455 x 3

Now:

Body weight: 190lbs

All lifts: divide all those weights by like...2.

Trying to get back into it again, 5-6 weeks in.

im 6' about 220 btw. ^for some reason the only times i get really sore (i'm talkin like can't lower my ass to the toilet w/out ripping out the towel rack sore) is after the first lifts after i havent lifted in a while. When im in a routine i dont really get sore afterwards. Not sure if theres some science behind that or if its just in my head. Also, as far as cardio- i am absolutely horrendous. I dont get it, i rode my bike on the bike path for 23 miles the other day with no problem yet i can only run a 3/4 of a mile around the track. i understand running and biking r completely different but c'mon, 23 vs. 3/4....i dont get it

I do know of zyzz, bummer he died so young. definitely a legend.

i am far too lazy to lift, I can do about 145 bench and that's about it. I might do some basic stuff to tone up but I do not have the discipline to get in the gym and go hard for an hour 5 days a week. even if I did lose bulk up I would lose it all because i would stop lifting. and i hate having a super high protein diet and i hate protein shakes (even though i'm doing a watered down keto diet now to burn some fat). do any of you have any routines i could use to gain muscle, i'm looking for definition not size and preferably it would be something i could do at home with a pair of dumbells, not a gym membership.

 

thats what i was thinking. I definitely have the discipling to do plyo and cardio stuff and some basic lifting/resistance training. p90x sounds good because i'm 5'10", 140lbs but all fat and no muscle, i probably look 170. shit sucks yo.

 

i dont know and i still look fat. whenever fitness comes up people guess my weight and they usually say 160-180, but i'm fucking 140.

also I have wide hips and a very wide back, i'm bulky and not a beanpole or anything, just a generally large frame, I have absolutely no idea how I can be so light but look so big. I started out looking quite fat last summer at 165lbs and dropped about 15 through HIIT cardio. then I lost another 10 through calorie deficit.

but my 14 inch dong makes up for all of that.

P90X as soon as I get home. Hopefully I will at least maintain 140 and turn the remaining fat into muscle.

I'm not skinny fat though, I'm fat fat, at least I look fat. moobs, love handles, you name it. Like I said before way too lazy to do heavy lifting and I would lose it all anyways when i went back to school. thats the thing, i need something where i can get in shape but then it would be possible to STAY in shape with a busy college schedule. there is no way i would have enough time or patience to be calculating protein/fat/carb macros and drinking raw eggs in college.

Act and behave in a way that will make life interesting and fun, fuck a mundane predictable life working monday to friday with something you derive no pleasure from; just living life out till you grow old and wither away. Find a passion, form relationships, dont be afraid to get out there and fuck what everyone else thinks, trust me its alot more fun that way.

Dont ever pay people out or put people down. Instead just put yourself up and let the haters do their thing. Id rather be a person thats hated on, than a person that does the hating. A wise man one said...

Why are any of you deadlifting? This isn't the NFL.

Because noone wants to be a little bitch like you.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

If you think the deadlift is a football player-only exercise, you are mistaken. All of the "big 3" have tremendous carryover into numerous athletic activities.

 

thinking deadlifts is only useful for football is like thinking squatting is only useful if u wanna get big legs. it's a common misconception and a big thing that holds ppl back. Muscles burn fat, and considering your legs are one of your biggest muscle groups, by turning them on you can turn your body into a fat burning machine. Let alone the test release working them out causes, which also results in muscle growth. Same applies to deadlifts and bench. Theres a reason those r the big 3 and not forearm curls, neck raises, and cock pushups

LOL please go - 150 pounds?

Strong e stats, my brother powerlifts at that weight and can't get that up.

Your brother is not very strong then. There are plenty of merely "pretty good" powerlifters in that class who post much higher totals.

The leg press is an exercise for gays. Not worthy of inclusion.

 

For those of you who are in banking, can you still find time to train hard? I know it's impossible to get enough sleep, but can you still find 60-90 minutes a day to hit the gym? Do you keep a tub of whey at your desk and use your meal allowances to order chicken, tuna, etc?

Curious if it's absolutely required to give up the bb/powerlifting/athletic training lifestyle once you get into banking.

Don't worry about the protein.

The best tasting imo is myofusion cookies and creame, that with 5g of creatine a day is what you should start up

btw I don't know if any of you guys use jack3d but it is getting banned. got myself 3 tubs :)
