5'8" and 148, you should be at least 165-170 and 10% bf

 

Yea...I wanna be around 160-165. I just don't eat enough. Around 2800-3000 calories a day.

 

Dinner: A large can of baked beans, a half of a 1.2 lb strip steak, and tub of wholly guacamole.

 

"commandeered" a tractor tire that was lying around our farm...

probably around 250-300lbs, tire flips are in my future

 

Yesterday:

Lat Pull down 160 lbs 3x10
Seated Row 140 lbs 6x8
Tricep Dips 8x25
Skull Crushers 40 lbs 5x10
Deadlift 285 lbs 6x8
Seated leg press leg press 360 lbs 6x8
Pull ups 5x5

AAnndd...My left knee is not feeling right... I've never felt this kind of sore on my quads before, it almost feels like I partially tore a ligament in my left knee. Its very painful being my left knee, but it feels better when I massaged it and put some icee-hot on it.

I skipped kickboxing today to rest up, and if it's not feeling any better by tomorrow, I'll schedule an MRI to get it looked at.

 

An interesting read.

Losing my motivation to do dead lifts of any sort.

 

Interesting article. I'm close to the "Strong" classification with my weight at 176 lbs right now. I'm trying to get up to and maintain 180 lbs, and increase my numbers. My deadlift needs the most work needed to increase it by 50 lbs . Bench and squats are within 15-25 lbs of that "Strong" classification.

 

WOOO!

Haha for my weight class (Im 149-146, it fluctuates) I hit 175 on bench, squatting 220 ('strong' guideline is 265) and did 270 on deadlift the other day.

My maxs are though: 185 bench 295 deadlift and 225 squat

 

Fuck i gotta do legs more...or more than just run

My bench is in the "extremely" strong but my squats and deads are in the "strong" hahaha

 

Meh to power lifting

 

Nice strength cycle the past couple weeks with squat and dead lift

Hit 3 at 265, 1 at 275, 1 at 285 (PR), and missed 295. Didn't have the power to get out of the hole.

Also deadlift 1RM at 365. Not bad for about 2.5 times my body weight lol.

My upper body is weak as shit from having a multitude of shoulder surgeries but hit 185 which is a max for me on bench yesterday too.

5' 6" at 148lbs

 

220 Bench, 300 Squat and 340 Deads for me at 165 5'8.

 

Damn... I can squat 325, dead close to 400, and struggle to get 185 4 times on the bench.

 

I wish I could do deeper squats but I have stupid Jumpers Knee :\

 

315x4 squat, 315x2 dead lift, 265x1 bench 5'10 152

 

How are you guys doing your 1 rep maxes? Are you going into the gym and putting a shit load of weight on and lifting fresh or are you adding little amounts and getting tired and not lifting as much as you would be able to if you lifted fresh?

 

A great read if you have some downtime.
