No real endurance feats & only max on bench as friendly competition with friends. Max on bench was 380 but I been slack for a couple months. Was repping 400+ on squat but never maxed or intend to with that.

Welcome. Weightlifter's thread is a great place to start.

I don't really have any impressive feats. I went to the gym 300 times in a year (I keep meticulous records) and cleaned up my weights when I was done with them. All I can brag on is dedication.

thanks, i've read this thread for a while now and thought i may start posting a little bit. i'm not much to argue over the internet so i don't post in the football or recruiting threads. too much junk over there.

anyways, staying dedicated is a very impressive feat. without dedication, it is hard to reach your goals.

Welcome to the forum! I am not that strong, I have squatted 315 X 10, and deadlifted 435 X 4. Incline Dbs I have hit 110's X 6, and DB shoulder press 90's X 5. Like OW said, post often.

That is dedication, and I like the fact that you clean up your weights.

I don't have a very strict diet - but I eat well regardless. A lot of simple foods, like salmon, rice, and a veggie for dinner. Oatmeal and greek yogurt in the morning. Lunch is prob my weakest link. If I don't have leftovers, I normally eat a sandwich or something. During the summers I can normally force myself to eat more salads. I generally just make sure I'm getting enough protein.

I do not max out, but I posted some of my stats earlier. You are a beast. Nice work.

I try to do 5 or more reps on every set. The range I usually fall in on the standard lifts:

Bench 225 x 6-10
Squats 315 x 8-10
Dead Lift 275 x 8-12

6' 2" 202 lbs
16.5" arms

I've always tracked my progress with weights. The only "size" feedback I get is from my fiancee.

thanks...im not big on maxing out. Those are numbers ive hit during a normal workout. If i was to focus solely on the one rep max i could probably do a little more than what i listed.

5 reps is normally as low as i go too. Sometimes i like to go as low as 3 or 1 rep just to change it up
