Lifting Double Your Weight

**breathingmurder** · 03-24-2005, 09:43 PM

Looking really built! I'm afraid I don't look half that good from the front.

How much do you curl? Your biceps look pretty strong.

Thanks Breathingmurder! I do curls with 110 pounds on the ezbar (2 45's and 2 10's) about 5 reps. Then just the 2 45's for 10 reps... I do this non stop for about an hour to hour 1/2.

HOWEVER, i'm starting to think since biceps arnt really all thaaaaat helpful for powerlifting, i'm sorta thinking of doing nothing but a bodybuilding routine on arms form now on with much lighter weight and ALOT more reps per set... any advice (I really want to see my bicepts swell up!)

Thanks!

I compete drug tested in the IPF/USAPL and i am going to nationals in Texas in June. But im afraid 560 is not a record....the world record is 638 for 181 and under ( i am now 170 lbs) I hope to hit 600 suited up at the meet.

I'm thinking about entering into some bench press competitions myself. I'm 18 years old and about 147-150 lbs. On march 23 I put up 230 x 5, 235 x 3, 245 x 2 & 250 x 1 on flat bench Today I put up 235 x 4, 245 x 2 on flat and then did 185 x 5, 195 x 4 and 205 x 2 on the incline. I'm guessing my max is around 270/275. Is that a good weight for 18-19 148 lb division?

as long as you know how to perform a legal lift and dont get disqualified, you should do very well at the bench meet for your age and weight.

Have any pictures of yourself or of you lifting disbeast? Want to see what someone weighing only 165 at only age 17 looks like, putting up close to 400lbs!!... I'd imagine a monster, but i'm not finding any pictures of you posting anywhere on this site...

Do it brother! If you nail that lift, I personally think your one of the strongest pound-per-pound people i've met on this forum! (and if you back it up with a photo or VIDEO)

Thanks guys for the feedback, really!

oh and breathingmurder, that jump in your profile is cRaZy!

I don't see where anyone has addressed this.

If you actually come out with the 400 video you'll be the first teen to ever prove any of the crazy claims teens make around here.

But I'll seriously be impressed if you can move that weight raw at your bodyweight...

...unless you're a 220 lb guy benching 380 raw and you lost both your legs in an accident and now weigh only 165.
