I am gonna work on doing a 500lb squat and something similar for the deadlift. Right now my max squat can be projected at the higher 300 to 400 borderline. I doubt that my deadlift max will overtake...

250 lb cleans for a starter at 15years old! It takes some work to get the technique and strength to do them even if one is naturally big and strong with very few exceptions. Think it thru...the...

Concur with you Crupiea. There are those demons, which is why I deliberately excluded powerlifters, coz they specialize in these lifts. I was in the military and there was one gentleman who is...

If you can shrug 350lbs comforbably, beyond static lift that is, with two hand overhand grip without straps then your grip strength seems considerably good-assuming you aren't a pro powerlifter. If...

One thing that puzzles me alot about deadlift is the max figures that people give. I see alot of plus 400 and plus 500 figures. Are these people genuingly able to deadlift that much without straps or...

True enuff for brute strength free weights are pants down ahead of machines. Barbell Benchpress I understand puts more stress on your shoulders, so try the dumbbell presses just like someone else up...

Squat depth is highly dependent on glute, thigh and even very significantly ankle flexibility which is often overlooked.

From personal experience I wouldn't opt for more than one day per week of deadlifts provided they are thoroughly done on the day you do them. You can use an interesting method I read from one of the...

Tennis equals high intensity cardio work with peripheral strength requirements resulting in loss of unwanted body fat thus exposing muslces more thus the toned shape! That's my two nickel worth of...

Firstly you might have started with a weight a little bit heavy for your form. Remember that what you could lift comfortably a couple of months ago has dropped considerably due to atrophy. Secondly I...

Once per week max first thing in the morning before eating or drinking is the best.

Well yours is the classic scenario that is described in lifting whereby whereby almost steady gains are made for the first six months followed by a plateau that may last long if not tackled. Gotta...
