Title: So how much are people lifting?
Post by: silentchemist on September 16, 2014, 11:51:22 am
Thought I may as well get a few topics started to get things going again.

How much can anyone squat, bench and deadlift?

Im UK so work in Kg's but currently have a 1RM of

110Kg bench
180Kg deadlift
150Kg squat

Id be interested to see if anyone can better these....im still pretty weak but making good progress at 84Kg bodyweight.

shows how many people on this site are into physical fitness

i dont do any of that stuff.  my chest routine involves dumbells and my leg workout involves running and endurance type exercises.

The heaviest thing I ever deadlifted was my sister's car. A Dacia Sandero Duster.

I don't do bench presses and nowadays I only do bodyweight stuff but back in the day, vertical leg pressin 300kg ten times was no problem.

I was build for this shit, though. A true strongman... at heart. I rather internets all day.  :jerkoff:

I hate lifting. I climb, swim, run and bike these days, which really is all I need. I don't have a demanding physical job (being fit helps with the long hours, though), and the aesthetics of a bigger body are completely lost on me.

Thanks for that input on a lifting thread.

If youre masturbating that would make sense but its the way members of the opposite sex view your aesthetics that should be the relevant factor

If you're not blessed in the brain department, yes, I understand lifting is a necessity, you wouldn't be able to attract attention to otherwise. You're also more than likely not aiming for the top sports of the social ladder, which is likely with good reason.

You are aware that there are more reasons to lift weights other than mass and appearance?

I used to lift in a very similar range to the OP but found that there were limited functional benefits to the type of strength gained. I was surprised at the time but it's not exactly rocket science; if you lift a lot of heavy static weights then... lifting heavy static weight is what you'll get good at.

Transferring my gym-strength to 'real-life' dynamic loads often resulted in disapppointment.

To me, lifters are like vegetarians or Jehova's witnesses. You don't give a flying fuck about their beliefs, yet they shove it down your face every chance they get. I get it, lifting is fucking awesome, I cry hot tears of sorrow over all those useful hours I could have spent doing preacher curls instead of fighting gravity on slippery rocks outside. I know, running and climbing and cycling and swimming all fucking suck because they don't give you the gains lifting does, but not everybody in this world is an insecure piece of misery trying to fit in.

The topic isn't "what do you think of lifting" if you don't lift fuck off and comment elsewhere.

I was interested to know how much other members were able to lift, NOT your opinion on why I lift.

I'm a small guy, I've no intention to train for hypertrophy! I'm interested in lifting heavy ass weights most of you faggots will never be able to move let alone lift.

My lifts are currently very low, I didn't post out of pride I posted out of interest in what others had achieved.

If you don't lift GTFO

In other words this thread is about you trying to mentally compensate for your insecurities, rather than provoking any kind of real discussion. Oh well.

Still, it helps explain why I've seen so many 'muscle midgets' in gyms over the years.

'Small' implies a lack of stature and the term hypertrophy has does nothing to indicate whether someone is tall or short. It's now clear you're using the body-dysmorphic-musclefag definition of small, i.e. fairly normal to everyone else. Unless of course you are medically underweight.

Regardless, my first sentence stands.

My use of hypertrophy indicates I'm not training to get big and so negates your initial point.

The nature of your insecurity is debatable, that you have an insecurity isn't. Why else does someone post their 'heavy ass' lifting stats for review by a bunch of 'faggots'.

I said "I am interested in lifting heavy ass weights" not that I can already. I have an interest in power lifting.

I then followed up with "my lifts are low" which for my bodyweight they are.

The people to which I referred to as faggots are the morons that have posted how they don't lift on a post about how much you can lift.......

What insecurities are you hiding considering you've taken time out of your day to belittle someone's minor achievement?

Jesus christ, were you bullied by the jocks at school or something? Way to stereotype. It's just weight lifting, it doesn't define you or determine any qualities.

On a flat press (not elevated or inclined), may maximum bench is about 240 pounds. But thats just once or twice up and down and then racked. I never understood this big pissing contest over "max press". It doesn't prove anything. I'd be much more wary of the guy who can press 160 lbs for 15 minutes.

 I haven't tested my limitations yet, but I probably need too. Just been easing back into lifting since I quit nicotine a week and one day ago, today. I got a small home gym so I've been doing butterflys, military press, leg press, etc.. I don't power-lift or anything. I aim for a weight thats 3/4's my threshold and rep till failure.. I know my builder buddies always give me crap because they have these "scientifically" proven routines and such.. I get results though, and my muscle endurance is far superior to those. And.. I've noticed that while I havent seriously dedicated to lifting in about 2 years, I've retained a good amount of my muscle definition.. I could be cut and looking pretty sharp with about a month and a half of work. If they quit or just get sick for a few weeks, their bodies turn to mush.. I'll stick to my method.
