Been a while since since I've been on BB.com

Conventional deadlift 7 plates. 675# Gym PR, but hoping this to be my second pull in September.

[Asian0916]

I haven't go for Powerlifting Meets before, but I did have a mock meet for myself before.
Bodyweight: 71kg
Squats: 135kg
Bench: 85kg
Deadlift: 165kg

Am I really weak or whatever?
Let me know, please.

[bicepglue]

Foam press - 245 x 3 ... I'll call it a PR

Hoping to get a clean single at 270 for double BW!

[blademontane]

Been testing my maxes after cutting 10kg in a month, then maintaining for a couple weeks. OHP down from 80kg-65kg, Bench down from 140kg-125kg, Deadlift down from 210kg-190kg. Haven't tested squat yet, but I'm sure it's ~160kg considering the rest.

[CourtneyCarra]

200lb Squat
260lb Deadlift

Super stoked on both of these Im hoping this weekend to break my squat PR again.

[danlsann]

Can’t add weight on squat
R.I.P

[otherbarry515]

130x1 OHP, 365x1 DL this week doing 1rm testing. Also squatted 275x4 and benched 175x2 which are PRs for me but not singles.

Started benching with the barbell ~3.5 months ago when I started 5/3/1, was doing dumbbells only before that so yeah, I am a weakling

[BrooklynBravest]

Super happy with this.

Finally pulled off (pushed off) a 225 OHP. Solid way to start the year.

Bodyweight at 200.

[slajifras]

315 bench at 215 weight today. It wasn't a max effort, I should have done 320 instead.

First time I hit 315 a few months ago I weighed 240 (immediately went on a cut after this)

[AlecBurley]

405 deadlift PR at fat as **** 17 yrs old pretty proud

[TheUnderdog83]

Been lifting for about a year and hit 1,000 pound raw 3-lift for the first time ever.
BP - 265
Squat - 360
DL - 375
35 years old, 185 pounds

[Ryanc6966]

First time attempting 200KG Deadlift tomorrow at 72kg bodyweight

[ProYeo]

Another meet in the books - S/B/D @ 281/204/342. Meet PRs across the board but I wanted more out of the squat and bench. Another meet in 8 weeks!

[jademonkey]

I don't compete but so far I am enjoying going to the gym and gettin strong(er) (started in October) and may compete some day if I don't switch back to bike racing.

Pulled 405 today, hadn't pulled over 315 until today. Just felt like getting in a few 1rm test days before deload.
Warmed up, hit 335 easy, 365 was heavy af, 385 was ridiculously hard but I figured so close to the benchmark 4 plates. So I rested up like 10 minutes and ground out the ugliest rep ever. JK, I'm sure it wasn't that ugly, but I definitely don't wanna pull like that every week lol.

Test squat on Tuesday if I'm recovered by then (it's gonna suck), and bench next Wednesday.

34 yo, 170 lbs

Well, I called it, squat sucked. Relative to my other lifts anyway, I guess it's pretty good for 4 months in the gym. It was what I expected, 275.

I got my wife to video me, and I felt like I was definitely ass to grass, but then I look at the video and it's just barely parallel. So weird how that works. There's really no reason for me to avoid going lower cuz I start to stick about 30 degrees above parallel. Gonna keep working those super deep high rep squats on deadlift day and hope it gets better.

[jademonkey]

Bench today. I feel strongest on this training, but the test was the most disappointing. Last week I did sets of 215, then 240x1 at the end. Today I just warmed up, hit 225x1 easy. 245x1 felt a bit tough but I thought for sure I'd get 265. Nope. Arms just stopped moving a few inches off my chest and wouldn't budge. Tried 255 and missed that as well. So 245 it is. For now.

[musclehead09]

350x5 squat today in just a belt. Wore chucks too. Last 5RM in wraps and Olympic shoes was 375 so this is no wrap PR. Considering I hit 405 no wraps I probably could’ve done this before but it felt good to do it today. It was also ramped with 5’s for all sets whereas before I would do singles the closer I got to a top weight then hit volume as backoff. So I may be capable of more but I’m happy I hit this PR!

[adipower93]

Yesterday maxed out!
Squat: 257,5kg/568lbs very easy!
Bench press: 150kg/331lbs
Deadlift: 280kg/618lbs
My morning bodyweight 93,5kg
Video on instagram: adipower93

[ProYeo]

Working on openers for the upcoming Laura Phelps ProAm ... yesterday was deads

Kept going and nailed a new PR at 350, woohoo!

[shorty1454]

BW OHP BOISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YEAAAAH, so im 14 yo, 5,1, and 118 lbs, with 10 % bodyfat, and i just go into the bw OHP club, i got a 120 lb strict OHP.

[slajifras]

340 pound bench 1RM today. I have a goal of 350.. I still don't feel very strong
Also did 315 pounds for 2 reps for the first time a few days ago

[ProYeo]

Just got back from Cincinnati, competing in the women's pro/am strength weekend. Went 6 for 9 missing my last lift in each. I'm really chasing that 900 total, but this wasn't the weekend for it.

But, meet PRs across the board again at 305/205/355 for an 865 total. Now, back to work, Nationals is creeping up!

[TunaShakes]

Making progress after an old shoulder injury. Focusing on higher reps for now. 120kg x 14
Did 15 the next week.

[jademonkey]

Testing again this week and getting a body scan before deciding if I wanna cut for a month. Squat today. Hit 285, failed 300. In the past 7 weeks I've improved form and depth, but only added 10 lbs. Squatting is hard. I expect better improvement on bench press tomorrow.

[jademonkey]

Added 30 lbs to bench in less than 2 months not even focusing on low reps. I guess I still have some noob gains there.
Hit 275, missed 285 (gym, no pause).

Then tried shoulder press, hit 150, missed 165, hit 155.

[jademonkey]

Pulled 439 today. Lockout was almost impossible.
Then realized I was a pound short but was fried and failed to get 441 more than 2" off the floor. Oh well, close enough for gym lifts.

[TallStrongNerdy]

Did 3 sets of 225lbs for 50 feet on Trap Bar Farmer’s Walk. Nothing special but it’s the heaviest I’ve gone on them and I’m looking forward to when I can compete doing a real one.

[slajifras]

Reached my goal for my current bulk. 350 Pound bench press for a tng 1rm. This weight psyched me out big time, it took me 5 weeks to go from 345 to 350. It's still a long road to 405. I'm going to start taking lift offs, I think. Self lifting off in the mid-300's is starting to bother my shoulder slightly.
