130x5 bench! Or 5.5 reps if you will, since the spotter helped on the last rep (when I specifically said no touching the bar...grrr)

[stronglift1]

Supertraining meet
squat was a PR
my bench got redlighted on the second attempt, not sure why but i had to do it again on the 3rd, otherwise i think i would've had 402 and i got greedy on deadlift. i planned to hit 633 but that would've put me short of a 1600 total so i went 639 (i've doubled it in the gym) but i was too fatigued from the long day.

Strong ****!!!

[Mlucas1986]

Bench 255x4

[JayF28]

Only been lifting for 9 months so I'm still a noob.
Bench- 275 for 1
Squat- 335 for 4
Dead 315 for 5

Still pretty damn weak and not happy with these being I'm 6ft2 and 245lbs. But hey gotta start somewhere right?

[UltimateWarrior]

405 x 1 conventional deadlift raw belt only. Didn't have to grind it out but stopped after a pr like Louis Simmons says.

Hit 325 in the Bench Press with a gym lift at a body weight of 196 lbs for a PR. The lift was smooth and without a lift off.

[mfrisbie]

I got my first 400+ lb. deadlift at my first powerlifting meet, the N.A.S.A. Kansas Regional on 23 November 2013. In addition to my 402 lb. deadlift, I also got a personal record 330 lb. squat.

[MasalaMaker]

Got to rep 270 on squats for the first time x 5.
So happy

[ragnar1199]

I can't remember if I ever posted any PRs here, I don't think I did. And I never post in the powerlifting section, just frequent it from time to time, but I should come here more, seeing as how I want to do another meet.

Anyway, I did my first powerlifting meet in April of 2012, a USAPL meet in Albany, NY. Passed my first squat of 400, failed 420 and 435 because of depth. Looking back at the vids, the depth looks the same to me on all of them, and they all should've been deeper imo. I think I got lucky with the first attempt.

Bench: Passed 300, failed 320 twice, almost got it the second try. Pissed me off because I put up I think 330 or 335 with a pause a couple weeks before.

Deadlift: Got 550 on my second attempt, failed 575. I did 570 in the gym 11 days before.

So, best meet lifts:

Squat: 400
Bench: 300
Deadlift: 550

Best gym lifts:

Squat: 440
Bench: 335 paused, 350 no pause
Deadlift: 570

I weighed 208 at the meet. I haven't broken any PRs since, but I'm very much planning on doing another meet next year and things are going well so far. Just squatted 300 for 14 reps, benched 250 for 10 and deadlifted 430 for 11. I'm getting back up there.

235 paused bench x 1

Desperately working on squats.. huge problem area for me.
