165 lbers. GTFIH!!

[bmontgomery87]

True, good point. My deadlift definitely lags, though(just started doing them again ~1mo ago). Maybe I'll get that to a respectable range before heading to one.

If you just started, it should shoot up pretty quickly.
It took me less than 2 months to go from a 300-400 max.

strong squats. I'm hoping to see 400 over the next year.

Welcome all fellow manlets. Sorry I have not replied in a while. Currently running through mid terms in college. My senior year, pretty busy.

Which competition should we start up next?

That race... Will take years

[bmontgomery87]

That race... Will take years

it'll keep the thread alive and most of us will be 181s or 198s by then

[Thiggins2]

I'll be 181 by the fall. Possibly 198 then cut to 181. And be a huge fuc/ken manlet.

[MrCoggeshell]

Bench pressing body weight? For reps?

[The_P]

i'll start after i beat the 500 lb. which shouldn't be hard.

[GuinnessStrong]

As someone who bulked from 155 - 195 in a year, I'll just throw it out there that the stretch marks and joint pains aren't worth it. Take it slow.

I got 225 X 7 this past week, so I'm guessed I could probably do 170 around 13x?

dammit.
i was actually heading for 165-200 over the next year or so.
I may do it a bit slower haha.

I'm 181, relatively lean, and still feel really small.

I think 198 sloppy looks pretty jacked for us 5'7" guys.
170-180 and shredded looks big too tho. I've seen a few asians that look MASSIVE in the 170s

Yeah, I'm really hoping I'll actually start to look big around the 200 mark.

bro i saw your video and your deads are incredible for 20 years old..Im only 19 and have a hard time controlling 405x1(it slips out of my hand a lot) Could you enlighten me on some training points lol??

Well it helps that i have really long arms, which is less range of motion. Having long arms is great for deads but it also hinders my bench. But to help grip you can buy grippers, or try to hold the weight for as long as you can at the top of your lift. But ya i do deads once a week and am always going up in weight. I also use double overhand until about 315 than i switch to mix grip. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions pm me.

[Thiggins2]

Hey guy above me, our numbers are pretty close!

I think I could get BW for 20ish reps. Bench of course

Talking about me bro?

[Thiggins2]

Talking about me bro?

Nope. The P , Your bench is nuts tho! Short arms? Or just prefer to bench?

You run any routines?

[The_P]

well our deads are pretty close, but unless i got to the same weight as you my bench and squat are not as strong. What do you mean by BW?

nvm i understand

[MrCoggeshell]

I got 170, which is a couple lbs heavier than me, 20x the other day messing around.

[Powersprinter]

Im down to do the race to 600lbs deadlift!

Right now all im tryin to do though is squat 500 before i turn 20 (on the 23rd this month). The most I have done is 425 x 6 for 2 sets, but because of track i have stalled big time at that point

[boxingchamp93]

im starting smolov jr for squat monday. wish me luck lmao best squat was 390x3 so probably a max of 405-415. wanting to get at least 30 lbs off these three weeks

How exactly does smolov jr work? Is it high frequency and high volume?


I'm down to 153 at the moment; doing 245x3 squat + 175x3 bench on Saturday, and 315x5 pull on Thursday. I want a 900ish total by the time I'm in the 148 range, so something like 270x5 squat, 190x5 bench, 350x5 dead is the goal. Hoping to blast through the 1k mark once I begin bulking back to 165 and beyond, though.

[Clean]

When I was 165, my lifts were...

Deadlift: 500
Bench: 315-320
Squat: 400
Shoulder Press: 205x5?

[BabySwole]

Nope. The P , Your bench is nuts tho! Short arms? Or just prefer to bench?

Arms not really short lol i wrestled so short arms would have sucked.. i do all three lifts. I just injured my knees in middle school and high school so i had to stop squatting and didnt do much DL either.. Recently got back into the sport last year. But right now im runnning a 5x5 program that im starting next week. Any other time i make my own workouts.

[B.Money]

Who are you? Your current lifts?

I'd like to talk with some fellow 165 ers. See what your training/intensity is like.

I am..B.Money... mid 150lber but GOMAD'ing my weight up there lately.

350+ raw bench, last year a competition 556 raw deadlift...squat sucks from knee injury, 365 high bar ATG. (as of April/'12)

Training/intensity = my Log @ http://goris.co/brandonsblog . I post up vids fairly often...not on the forums that much anymore. Would be cool to have more lifter buddies around!
