[Alex (Big-AL)]

Well i have not trained for about 2-3 months but my best lifts were about

210,160,250 bw 103

i suspect i may never beat these gym lifts though .

AL

[Knighty]

You will in good time my friend

[Scourge]

200-130-222.5 @ 80 are my best to date, depending on regulations and equipment allowed.

Can we use the Wilk's total to decide positions, so the heavy guys can't get away with just being big fat bastards and so Pinky doesn't have to be last all the time?

[Alex (Big-AL)]

Hello man of steel and thanks, my lifts are not what they should be and if i was asked to try and repeat those lifts within the next few weeks i doubt i could but i think i could get close, but i am not training at all at the moment. Up until recently my training involved primarily back squats and ohp with some strongman events stuff too all with heavy weight for low reps.
I am thinking about doing something different when i get back training again.

Baaah... Gear whore. :018:

[help]

yeah, im a gear whore :)

Iv decided thats its not really worth it to test my raw maxs often unless im doing them as my ME movement so thaat wont get updated often. Il be benching 200kg shirted before i try 150kg raw!

Christ... How much are you getting out of your shirt?

[help]

not a lot just now....

[kinkymisspinky]

squat 100
bench 52.5
dead 125
bw 60
wilks 309.94

[Matt Jones]

Whoah ! I'm winning <buff> - didn't even realise I had entered !

Just a couple of things though -

My 190 bench was actually an incline - so maybe not "legal" for the comp
It pains me to get myself marked down - but I would also be happier if I could have my current totals rather that my all time PB's
So that would be
Squat 220k
Dead 240k
Bench 140k (flat) 160k (incline) depending on the rules

My reasoning for this is that I'd prefer to use weights that I can prove at the moment - Plus that way I can raise up through the ranks as I progress

sorry to be awkward !

No rush though ! I'll savour being at the top while it lasts

[Man of Steel]

No problem but I hope you don't change your mind after you see your new score :eek: .

[DMPM]

Squat - 147.5 kg
Bench - 125 kg
Deadlift - 205 kg

Total - 477.5 kg

BW - 108 kg

[Matt Jones]

No problem but I hope you don't change your mind after you see your new score :eek: .

No ... thats fine ..... ( :022: :022: :022: :022: :022: )

BTW you seem to have miscalculated my new total - it's 600 not 500 - jeez, talk about kicking a man when he's down ! lol


cheers !

[Man of Steel]

Bloody mental arithmetic :017: .

[Fred]

Squat 90kg (this will be going up shortly)
Bench 80kg
Deadlift 150kg
Total 320kg
BW 83kg

Squat - 200kg
Bench - 140kg
Deadlift - 220kg

Not bad at all, dude.

[Man of Steel]

Post up your shirted and suited totals Stubob :045:

[Stubob]

Post up your shirted and suited totals Stubob :045:

I've never used a shirt or a squat suit. I don't have them. I use a belt and wrist wraps and that's it.

I want to do another comp next year, hopefully an unequipped one. My goal is to qualify for the 2006 unequipped championships. I think I've missed the qualifying events for the 2005 one. Plus that gives me some time to get stronger anyway..

Stu

[Stubob]

Not bad at all, dude.

Thanks Mike, shame my bench is a bit gay though.. That's the hardest thing to change for me..

I've done 150kg for 1 a long time ago, but for some reason I can't do over 140kg at the moment...

Stu

[Mike]

What are your bench weaknesses/sticking points?

[Robert]

I agree with the leader of the homo-jedi council (Mike). Your lifts are very good stubob. Well done from me, mate.

[Robert]

Also, your bench is not gay. A 300/440/440 is NOT gay at all. If anythign, your deadlift could be higher, imo.

[Stubob]

What are your bench weaknesses/sticking points?

Mainly from the chest. I think I also bring the bar down too slowly, by the time I go to push I get a couple of inches off of my chest and it doesn't go much further..

I've tried pin presses but they feel horrible on the shoulders. Come to think of it I did them from chest level and now my sticking point is slightly above that. I think I'll try them from a couple of inches off of my chest on my next Westside cycle..

Not long ago I did 180kg on a 5 board for three. Not much travel with that but it was good to get that sort of weight in my hands..

Why not pause at the chest?

[Stubob]

Why not pause at the chest?

Good point, that's something else to consider. The only time I've paused was in a competition.

Stu

[DMPM]

Also, your bench is not gay. A 300/440/440 is NOT gay at all. If anythign, your deadlift could be higher, imo.
It's 308/440/484.

Great lifts.

[Robert]

Agree mate.

[Stubob]

It's 308/440/484.

Great lifts.

Cheers DMPM..

Here's a synopsis of my first meet if anyone wants to have a look. Thought I'd post it as I don't really know a lot of you but hopefully that will change..

Cheers

[Fred]

no one can say im not dedicated ;)

[Fred]

You just wait till next week Cheggars <buff>

[Fred]

[BengDogg]

[Fred]

Take it easy with all this maxing mate! You can burn out even though your young

yeah, this will be my last deadlift session for a while... well, i'll be doing it once every 3 weeks and focusing on my squat even more.

i notice im the only person with a squat that isnt in triple figures :(

[Man of Steel]

Better make it 170.1kg Cheggars because I'll be pulling 140kg on Friday :D You'll be lifting triple figures in two months or we'll send help round to your door.

[Man of Steel]

I'll have another 15kg in five weeks :040:
Give it a few weeks and you'll have an even bigger 1RM.

[lil_jimmy]

Jimbo

[Robert]

Your stronger than me. So fcuk off. :)

Jestin', nice to see you here.

[Man of Steel]

You can only join in if you get a new PB soon :D

[lil_jimmy]

You can only join in if you get a new PB soon

I should be re-maxing in a few weeks, so hopefully they'll all be a little higher. I'd like a 120k bench :013:

Jimbo

[Man of Steel]

What's your training like Jimmy? I'd like a 120kg bench as well, but I'll need to wait at least another year if I'm lucky :(

[GoldenArrow]

A 120 bench would make it about the right ratio..

[lil_jimmy]

my training more like bodybuilding at the moment. For the past few weeks iv started training arms on a separate day as they were spaghetti-sized. Routine is this

Mon-Legs

Squat
GMs/DL
Leg press
Leg ext
Leg curls
Calves

Tue-Chest

Bench
Inc Bench
Military Press
Flyes
Laterals supersetted with front raises

Tue-alternate chest routine

Weighted dips
Inc DB Press
DB shoulder press
Flyes
Laterals ss w/ front raises

Wed-Back*

Lat pulldowns; wide grip n close grip
DB rows
1 arm machine row
stiff arm pulldowns

Fri-Arms

Ez curls
CG bench
DB curls
Skullcrushers
Preacher curls
Forearms

...so you can see not very powerlifting based at all.

*I deadlift rarely now. Kinda strange, but my DL strength goes up anyway if im working the squat hard. Theres a great deal more carryover from the squat to the DL than vice-versa.

Normally i would never train arms separately but i thought id give it a shot. The CG benching has helped a lot in the bench.

Despite being a bodybuilding kinda routine, the way i look at it, as long as you include the bench, squat and DL in a routine and preferentially do them first, you will get stronger provided your increasing the weight regularly and eating like a horse. Nothing fancy about that.

I agree.

[Fred]

new squat PB!!! 116kg... i think that gives me a total of 346kg...

*ahem* i think that moves me up a place...

[help]

i got a raw 220kg dedadlift (after DLing 240 suited)

so my raw total is 555kg
suited total is 642.5kg

[the block]

these are old figures. cant bench the same now due to neglecting bench and a lower bodyweight.

Squat - 155kg (5X5 parallel - not powerlifter style)
Deadlift - 162.5kg
Bench - 120kg

Total = 437.5kg @ 92kg (14.5stones)
bodyweight now = 82.5kg (13stones)

[Man of Steel]

Good lifts folks and bugger you Cheggars :021:

[Matt Jones]

Wahey ! added 10k to my deadlift (250k )

Woo hoo !

[the block]

have realised that my deadlift should read 165kg and not 162.5kg. :045:

[DMPM]

Squat - 155kg
Bench - 125kg
Deadlift - 205kg

Total - 485kg

BW - 108kg

[help]

new gear whore total

squat - 250kg
bench - 180kg
deadlift - 240kg

[Fred]

my bodyweight is now 90kg, please update

[Matt Jones]

My deadlift is up to 260 now , and I also got a 160 bench earlier in the week :036: now THATS progress !!

At last I am scoring higher than the Mighty Big Al !! ( I am sure the wilkes formula will take care of that though :022: )

[Robert]

I need my squat upping to 145 thanks.

[Man of Steel]

That's what we like to see lads. What weight are you now Robert? You must be way above 80kg.

[Robert]

Right now I am a gut busting 86kg. By 01/01/05, I will weigh 90kg.

[Scourge]

I got a 134kg raw bench at the end of training today. You may want to weight before updating it as I hope that will fall pretty soon.

[Robert]

I take it that was a pun.

[Man of Steel]

Are you still 80kg Scourge?

[DMPM]

Awesome bench Scourge.

[Scourge]

I take it that was a pun.
Well spotted, for someone who can just about spell their own name... :p

[Scourge]

Are you still 80kg Scourge?
I was 83kg on Monday.

btw. I think I've moved up a place.

I've got a mini-bench meet on Thursday, as long as I can get a singlet (durrrr...). 140kg is the plan.

[Robert]

Kill 'em all mate!

[Scourge]

Bench comp. today.

125 132.5 137.5 @ 82kg

Three whites and a new p.b. in my first comp. Pretty happy with that.

Congrats mate!

well done, was it raw?

[Scourge]

Thanks Beng.

well done, was it raw?
Yup. Can't be doing with any of this equipment nonsense just yet.

Thats very impressive! Well done! :023:

What sort of methods have you been using to get your bench to that level?

[Knighty]

:banana: <buff> :038:

[DMPM]

That's awesome man. :023:

[Robert]

Round of applause from me mate.

[Scourge]

Thanks a lot y'all...


What sort of methods have you been using to get your bench to that level?

Nothing special. There must be hundreds of training protocols that would give you a hooooge bench. The most important ingredients are probably hard work and persistence...

Keep on benching.

[Fred]

161kg deadlift <buff>

Expect a new bench soon too.

[PikeKing]

i've been looking through some old training diaries and it appears my squat is not as pooh as I remember, I doubled 160 apparently when I was 22!

I thought 120 didnt sound right

Then again I dont know about the depth.

[Robert]

You ****ers had better get ready for some ****ing sick weights going up real soon. KVNJKGNDFJ.KBJFKHBK.JFGNBKJCKBHKDNVKVBD LBVN. Rage rant over.

Everybody is welcome there. As you can see it's off to a slow start.

[Fred]

New bodyweight 98kg. I've put on a bit of fat too though, but had a power surge since eating a ton.

New bench press coming soon....

[Man of Steel]

Nice weight. I plan on overtaking you in a month so don't be too quick with the bench ;) .

[Fred]

ha, expect 100kg bench within 6 weeks.

[Wipe]

Thanks a lot y'all...

Scrouge, that's the exact attitude that makes people succeed. No fanct shit, just hard work and persistence - well done.

[Fred]

wahey got a 90kg bench.... felt awesome... but easy :041:

so thats a 90kg bench @ 98kg bodyweight please :048:

[BengDogg]

Bah damn you!

[Man of Steel]

I'll double damn you! Get your journal updated so I can see what you're 5x5ing on the bench.

[Fred]

I'll double damn you! Get your journal updated so I can see what you're 5x5ing on the bench.

I'm too lazy with the journal.... but last session I got 70kg 5x5 and this one I did 76kg 5,2,4,2,1 (after getting 90kg 1rm).

[Fred]

BTW you've messed up with SquatBenchDead.... either you have got one of his lifts wrong or his total.

[Man of Steel]

BTW you've messed up with SquatBenchDead.... either you have got one of his lifts wrong or his total.
Fixed. Now he's in first place in all categories.

[SquatBenchDead]

I'll enter my new raw lifts in about 10-12weeks(that's when my training cycle will be over). It will only be for squat and deadlift as I have an injury where I need to rehab for my benchpress. I'll put down my military press instead.

Keep training hard everyone!!!!

[lil_jimmy]

Hey Folks,

Maxed out with some improvements! But need to get that stagnant DL up somehow...

Deadlift 240kg

I am competing in 3 weeks so reducing the load in preperation. Hopefully beat my 1rms above.

[Fred]

nice lifts justin, are they raw?

[Justin Hurley]

They are raw.

I am competing in the WSA comp on feb 13th in the 82.5Kg class unequipped. It's at Spatz in Morriston, Swansea. Come along watch me hopefully beat those 1rm's if your in the area.

[Man of Steel]

Updated. I like your lifts Justin, how long have you been training for powerlifting?

[Justin Hurley]

I have been powerlifting seriously for coming up to two years.

I used to alternate between heavy and light weights each week for years, but I was also competing at boxing. I hung my gloves up and concentrated on powerlifting.
I am in seek of the 300kg squat. I am going to start using equipment, I think 300kg with a squat suit is more likely than 300kg raw.

[DMPM]

They some beasty lifts. How tall are you mate?

[Justin Hurley]

5' 7"

[666]

I may as well get stuck in:

BW: 114kg
Squat: 130kg (though this should be way up soon, but this is true for the mo)
Bench: 125kg

On US boards, 'bump' means "I agree", or, "good post."

i'm maxing out next week and new PB's are coming up... :074:

[Narc]

Bodyweight now 74kg, deadlift 165kg, bench 82.5kg

which i believe puts me 0.4 away from your wilks man of steel :drummer:

EDIT: actually i'm closer to 73.5kg

[Man of Steel]

Don't worry I'll be getting at least a 120kg squat next week.

[Justin Hurley]

Rogue-Zero that is very impressive lifting. 230kg bench!!!...shit...I can't even dream of that amount of weight over my chest.

[veganlifter]

New maxes, which should take me up 5 slots! And most importantly, our australian connection is eating my dust for a ****ing change! ;)

Squat 170
Bench 110
Deadlift 210

[Justin Hurley]

As the 235kg squat was so easy in the comp yesterday, I tried a 240kg tonight and managed it easy enough. I'm going to rest and go for a 245kg in a week or two.

My new totals are now:
Squat:240kg
Deadlift: 250kg
Bench: 145kg
All except the 240kg squat was under competition conditions.

EDIT: my bodyweight yesterday was 81kg.

[666]

Squat is up 5kg, and I tripled it. Got to be patient and wait before I max on it but I can't wait! New lifts:

Squat 135
Bench 125
Dead 175
Weight 113 (down 1kg - man am I good at cutting or what)

[veganlifter]

important update for me:

squat now 182.5kg which means 401lbs and 502.5kg total!

I weighed myself today as well for the first time in two months and i'm up to 103kg. Need to stop eating too many nuts and seeds :D

[Justin Hurley]

I hit a 255kg deadlift in the gym last friday.

Only a 5kg increase but it all counts.

[GoldenArrow]

[Fred]

please change my squat and total

sq 96 bench 90 dl 165 - 351kg @ 89kg

that squat was to good (lower than needed) depth, but i am capable of much more and until i get my arse in gear i want this to be what people see

hopefully an incentive for me to get this up, fast!

[Man of Steel]

And Rob's bodyweight :002:
How fat is he now ;) ?

Your totals don't go down unless you were cheating last time Cheghound.

[Robert]

211lbs right this second.

[Fred]

Your totals don't go down unless you were cheating last time Cheghound.

hi everyone im new here
just two questions
1 are all the lifts for one rep?
2 what is a raw lift?
cheers people
my b/w is 73k
never done one rep for anything before but can do 10reps with 90k for b/p
dont squat much done 140k for 8reps on a hacksquat once
do you guy think they are ok for my weight?

[Rogue_zero]

do you guy think they are ok for my weight?

Yes these are all one rep lifts, BUT are done to powerlifting rules ie, squat past thigh parallel to ground (or hip joint lower than knee), bench has to touch chest, feet flat on floor and hips shoulders and head on the bench at all times. Dead lift must be one compete movement upwards with no resting of the bar on the thighs. (basicly)
a raw lift only allows a belt and wrist wraps. No squat suit\bench shirt\power briefs (yes they exist) or any other form of supportive apparatus such as knee wraps.
Oh and all lifts are done with free weights not machine. Unfortunately your hack squat wont count, but is still a respectable weight in answer to your question as is bench (if free weight). Try free wight squat, youll get more benefit.

[Fred]

aren't you allowed knee wraps in a raw comp?

[GoldenArrow]

There is a gear whore category for us suit/wraps/belt/briefs/chainmail users too!

[GoldenArrow]

aren't you allowed knee wraps in a raw comp?

Don't think so.

[Jamin]

cheers for the answer mate i only use free weights (apart from for my legs)
going to try free squat next leg day. do you know a site where i can get a copy of the powerlifting rules that i can print out cos im interested in getting in to it. :023: one more question are there different weight classes like weightlifting?
cheers.

[GoldenArrow]

http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/IPF_rulebook.doc

for the strictest rules.

[Rogue_zero]

aren't you allowed knee wraps in a raw comp?
no not allowed, not im my organisaton

[Jamin]

whats Wilk's??

[Rogue_zero]

dont know the exact maths but its a way to measure performance using bodyweight and max lift. Its used to make it an even playingfield if say you have a best overal lifter at a meet. The higher the result the better.

someone will have the formula

[Narc]

http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/wilkscalc.htm

[lil_jimmy]

New lifts guys, after Vegans Eastern European Routine:

200/125/200 @ 110k.

Used knee wraps for squat, so if it doesnt count il keep my old 170k squat.

Jimbo

[veganlifter]

Jim,vexellent progress mate! I told you the routine kicks arse :D

[lil_jimmy]

Jim,vexellent progress mate! I told you the routine kicks arse :D

To damn right it does! The best thing though, is that it only took 7 weeks. Normally gains like this take me a year!!!

New squat PB 160kg

[the block]

:038:

[Hulk]

I have been training for 6 months so have got a lot of catching up to do to beat any of you guys:

My lifts to date are;

Bench - 82.5kg
Deadlift - 115kg
Squat - 130kg
BW - 70kg

yes i know, my squat is higher than my dead, dunno why!

[Hulk]

sorry meant to say these lifts are raw. :011:

[Scourge]

yes i know, my squat is higher than my dead, dunno why!
That is wierd. What's your depth like on the squat?

[Hulk]

I stop just before my arse touches my heels. I have always had strong thighs,think thats probably why! Im gonna work untill my dead is up to scratch!

[Tricky]

i started benching again the other day, just very light but at least i have some totals:

squat 130
bench 80
dead 180

all totally raw, at 13" exactly. Squat to parallel, locked out dead and bench to chest and paused. Unfortunately even that little girly bench fcuked my shoulder again so no new total for a while :012:

[Man of Steel]

Frickin' bench, what're you weighing in at Tricky?

[Tricky]

13" ...er...i think thats 82kg, or *trys to add up 13x14* *goes for calculator* 182lbs

[Hulk]

where abouts is the pain, I had pain in my shoulder, well between my shoulder and kneck when i bench and dip. I tried incline benching for a while which didn't seem to aggrevate it at all, its now getting alot better so should be back to training normally soon. :017:

[Tricky]

very hard to specify mate, its kind of underneath the anterior delt on the front/top. My g/f's a physio which is helpful, suggestions have included capsule damage and plain old impingement and imbalance.

[Tricky]

Yo Man of Steel - new squat mate, 140kg....makes my total 400, and Wilks 269 if im not mistaken :024:

[Fred]

(Haven't done a single yet on the squat but that is the max weight I have had on the bar).

[DMPM]

Might as well update me...

160/125/200 @ 104kg

Works out the same total.

[Justin Hurley]

My totals are now:

Squat - 310kg
Bench - 180kg
Deadlift - 275kg
@ 82.5kg

Total = 765kg

[Justin Hurley]

That is semi equipped, no squat suit, but did use a bench shirt.

[666]

Woh - 70kg on your squats in 6 months or so? How did you manage that?

[Scourge]

That is semi equipped, no squat suit, but did use a bench shirt.
That's what we done call equipped in these here parts...

[Justin Hurley]

The 240kg that I did previous was in an unequipped comp back in feb.

I Get about 30kg from the 2ply Inzer power pants. 10kg from using a monolift. Not sure how much the 2.5M knee wraps give me. The rest is increase in raw strength.

[Justin Hurley]

That's what we done call equipped in these here parts...

Ohh yes, I'm well and trully a gear whore now. I will be fully fledged once the canvas hybrid comes back to me altered, or the metal viking v-type.

[Scourge]

Ohh yes, I'm well and trully a gear whore now. I will be fully fledged once the canvas hybrid comes back to me altered, or the metal viking v-type.
Nice. I've got a lot of respect for equipped lifting, even if only because the kit hurts so much.

What bench shirt you using?

[Justin Hurley]

2 ply rage x shirt.

LOL.. your right about the pain. I remember moaning to my mate Dai, about how hard it is to get into the gear and how much it hurts to use and he said "welcome to equipped powerlifting"...LOL

[Man of Steel]

What're your raw (with only a belt) and fully equipped lifts Justin?

[GoldenArrow]

I dont think he does raw any more......GEAR WHORE! :D

[Robert]

Now that I am back in the game you can enter me again:

140/120/180 = 440 @ 82 (I weigh as much as 85 in the evenings but I will use my morning weight 'cos its better).

I will total 500kg by the end of Sept.

[Justin Hurley]

LOL... I sure am a gear whore, but will probably compete unequipped in February at WSA/BAWLA comp, as I won the British, I don't need to qualify for it next year.

I did totally raw squat and deads last sunday with Chris and Toddie. It was my first session back in the gym for nearly three weeks. I squatted 220kg for sets of 2 with no belt, briefs, wraps nothing, totally commando baby!! Deadlifted 240kg with no belt, the same.... It was a hard session back.
From using the briefs constantly for the last 3 months, I noticed the squatting really hit my inner thighs when I didn't use them. I squat wide and the briefs give a lot at the bottom. Without them, it almost felt like I was pulling a muscle, from now on I will throw in a raw day for squat every 4-6 weeks.

[Robert]

Robert has re-entered the meet in sixteenth place. Keep toning those lower pecs...

ha!

cunbt

[Narc]

Might aswell get back in this now, even though my squat is a mile deeper than you bastards'

112.5/82.5/180
375@78
wilks 260.2

400@80 in 4 weeks...........

[Man of Steel]

Are you maxing out at the end of your routine Freddy?

[Fred]

i havent decided yet, i only want to if ill be making pr's so we shall see how strong i feel

[BengDogg]

Ok fred ive updated your body weight, i havnt updated wilks cos i dont know how to work it out, lets keep this thread pleasant as i cant be bothered with squabbling

[uk machine]

190kg squat for me now lads.if u cant be arsed to update i aint too fussed as im gunning for a shit load more soon

[666]

Very nice. Going for the double ton soon? (Figuratively... If you squatted 2 tonnes I'd bow down to you as a god).

[666]

Can you delete me from this please - I'll join in again once I'm fully fit and I'll start afresh.

[Tricky]

Yep, me too at the moment, im nowhere near able to do even those teeny weights im down for.

[Narc]
