Sick squats man what kind of wraps do you use?

[IcemanIsDead]

I'm in.. Currently around 162 I think, it's moving up fast though.

Lifts:

125 kg/275 lbs squat

77.5 kg/170 lbs bench

155 kg/341 lbs deadlift

I'm so damn weak..

They look like Titan RPMs

[jdude94]

Just moved back up into the 165s. Feeling stronger than ever! Good to be back!

[mflavoni]

About 170 right now

Squat 410
Bench 265
Deadlift 450

So figure at 165 is somewhere slightly south of those numbers

Ya they are

I see, you most likely have way more muscle mass than me and because you have so little fat you need more fuel.

I posted this in the Video section as well, but here's one of my few recorded reps at my new body weight. Looking forward to Nat's this weekend!

I was 148 in January of this year for a local USAPL meet. Put up a 1445 total at that meet.

[IcemanIsDead]

I feel that I have to make my way up to 180 or maybe even higher to be able to be competitive.

160 is still super scrawny for my build..

My gym lifts are only 315/170/350

[The_P]

got a new 1 rep pr at about 160 lbs bw.

If i feel good next week i'll go for 435

Awesome chit man, repped

I won't test my squat bench or dead for at least 4 months, but last time I checked I could barely squat 315, with horrible form, probably barely hit parallel..

I'm hoping for a more smooth 315 squat by the end of this training cycle.

[BLK00TJ]

I'm new to this weight class. My first and only competition in May was @ 181 where I went 340/240/370 for 950. For my August meet I'll be competing @ 165 (finally got there last week). Funny thing is I registered as 165 for May and 181 for August. Meet director probably thinks I have a screw loose.

Squat has been the only lift that has gone up, but that was probably mostly due to form tweaks. Bench has stalled during the cut and deadlifts I just can't figure out why I suck so bad at them. I feel I should be able to pull better numbers than I am.

I'm not sure what direction I should take after my next meet. I'm still holding quite a bit of fat on my frame (13.4% bf) and could cut to 148 probably but I don't think I'd be happy with my numbers. I still want to get to 1k. I'm thinking about just getting a little lower to 160ish and then slow bulk.

I've been running 5/3/1 for 6 months but have been researching RTS. I'll stick with 5/3/1 until my meet though.

[ThatGuyDave]

strong

[Justin.Martin]

Might as well jump in here.

Started Powerlifting in Jan 2014 running 5/3/1.

First Meet - 31 May 14 and went 6 of 9 with a 1060 total @ 159lbs Raw with Sleeves only. Missed all my 3rd attempts, but still had a blast and learned a ton.

Next Meet is 25 Oct 14 RPS Lexen Extreme Fall Classic with a goal of 1200+

[The_P]

Got the 435 squat yesterday.

[killemall1983]

Havnt gotten too many PRs lately, but had a great workout yesterday. I'll throw in the main lifts i did. I am at about 168 right now, but at least 15lbs overweight.
2 of these bench sets were actually PRs, but never count rep PRs. 315 for 3 paused reps and 315 for 1 paused rep. My squat is crap compared to what it used to be.

[DidNotReadL0L]

how long did it take you brahs to squat 400 or deadlift 500 for people that are around those numbers?
threads like this always make me feel weak as chit on squats and dead

I squatted 405 at age 17 and 148lbs after training during the school year for almost 3 years. but i put everything had into lifting. My deadlift has always been weak compared to my squat. When my squat was 405 my deadlift was only 440. Now it still goes up and down.

[The_P]

I got 445 for squat, but it was close.

[Thiggins2]

I can't believe this thread is still alive.

Current lifts - 450 squat, 315 bench, 495 deadlift.

Made the transition to sumo deadlift. Lovin' it!

Also.. I'm fat right now. 183. Will cut for next meet
