I haven't been consistent with the gym over the past 4 years but could still deadlift 315 for a few reps.. considering im 175 and not that built I consider that an accomplishment lol

yea deff. they say the best weight class is 175-185 and they can move the more weight per pound of body weight. its true. im 185 and 315 is pretty decent weight to throw around.

very nice--i have staryed away from exercises like flat bench recently, and usually will hit it like once a month--i really havent gotten into deadlifts bc my lowe back usually bothers me, but i have been doing more sqauts recently, prolly bc of reading abot it on here

I've been on a downward spiral lately with my pundage. My delts are completely shot and the tendonits in my elbow is almost unbearable at times.
I still go at it though! Im trying to climb back slowly.
My personal bests though are 315 bench this past spring, but I cant even smell that poundage right now.
Im really concentrating on "feeling" my movements lately rather than just trying to move weight.

yea, holding them at the peak is pivitoal for muscle development. i see guys doing presses like jackhammers. only thing theyll get from that is sore joints.

at one point my max squat was 525
best flat bench was comparably low, probably like 270 for 11 i think
my most impressive i can do now is probably 90lb dumbells shoulder press for 10-12 reps
i personally think going heavy is stupid and is a great way to get hurt unless you are training for worlds strongest man or something

At 6'6 any chest and leg max is hard for me to get.

Flat bench - 125lb each for 8
shoudler press - 145 each for 5 (no lcue why my shoudlers are so strong)
Legs i cant do anything with my knees are basically bone on bone from playing basketball and football and my weight

so what you do one thing heavy for a max, and then you do another exercise light for reps? I usually do something similar, because once I kill myself hitting whatever I want hard the energy level isn't the same.

at 151 I squated 225 19 times (Coudlnt get the 20th one and I tried numerous times) also squatted 275 for 6.
After blowing out my knee and mad rehab you should see what I am squatting now :chuckle
I expect I will get back to 2 plates for 20 but not for at least 2 years maybe like mid 08 if I keep training the way I have been recently.

Its a weird feeling to be making progress like this. I havent touched weight like this "naturally" ever!
Its funny too, beause Im lifting with this kid who was "on" for quite some time. Kid is like 5'8" and not too big, but was moving some rediculous weight all summer. 150lb incline dumbells for reps! He's come off and is freaking out because he is only doing 130's for reps now. lol..I had to sit him down and bring him back to the reality that you cant compare how strong you are on the shit, to being natural.

How tall are you?
I notice alot of guys with small frames, but are stocky can move alot of weight compared to how much they weigh. I think it has alot to do with shorter range of motion.
def def does, there arms don't have to move much as opposed to a tall guy whos got a mile to bring the bar down and back up.
my personal best was 365 on sqaut for 4 reps. but this was in 2002. (3 plates and a quarter plate)
im not trying to go super heavy no longer. 315 (3 plates) is enough to alternate every 2 weeks for a few reps.
bench was never great 2 plates and 10's for like 4-5 reps. bench makes me way way way too tight up top.
How tall are you?
I notice alot of guys with small frames, but are stocky can move alot of weight compared to how much they weigh. I think it has alot to do with shorter range of motion.
def def does, there arms don't have to move much as opposed to a tall guy whos got a mile to bring the bar down and back up.
my personal best was 365 on sqaut for 4 reps. but this was in 2002. (3 plates and a quarter plate)
im not trying to go super heavy no longer. 315 (3 plates) is enough to alternate every 2 weeks for a few reps.
bench was never great 2 plates and 10's for like 4-5 reps. bench makes me way way way too tight up top.

Im highly attributing alot of my gains to the environment Im working out in. Alot of weight is being moved around me, so its kinda pushed me to push my limits. There are a few guys in there that I talk to and we spot each other. They have been a huge help encouraging me to go heavier and break some plateus.
Even on the gas, I've never moved more weight then I am now.
The only thing Im taking is NO-Xplode pre workout.
My diet is as clean as its ever been...just really cheat on weekends at dinner.
I think the fact that Im not going out as hard core anymore has helped as well. My ass used to drag on Mondays, now Im alot more rested.

lol i think sometimes after a long weekend its like you missed the gym for a week.
those days were terrible especially going out hardcore where you lose in the weekend whatever you put on in the week.
people say 30 is starting to get old, but its a fact many men come into there own strength at 30 and beyond, strenght is the LAST thing to leave a man, speed and endurance being the first.

i got crushed by 315 on sunday. but i got back under it and ripped it. felt great..
the 365 was just immense. i keep my upper back real tight with a close grip approach and it didnt compress my spine so much (or so i think lol)
