How long did it take you to lift 300 lbs?

[NeedPerfection]

Here are my current stats from seriously lifting for the past six months:
Bench:
87 lb (39.5 kg)
Bicep Curl:
44 lb (20.0 kg)
Squat:
151 lb (68.6 kg)
Barbell Rows:
58 lb (26.4 kg)
Deadlift:
162 lb (73.6 kg)
Overhead Press:
65 lb (29.5 kg)

If you check my Bodyspace you can see that many of my lift stats went down or plateaued.

My question is how long did it take you to lift 300 lbs? What were your original lift stats before?

My goal is to bench, squat, and deadlift 300 lbs in 1-2 years (a little bit ambitious). I keep a training notebook and record some of my progress online. I'm constantly tapering my training, but do you have any advice how I can achieve this goal? I'm aware this goal will be very difficult to achieve, but it's still achievable.

Any other advice for people that want to lift 300 lbs?

look into doing shieko or a smolov workout program my lifts have been going up like crazy!!And the average person gains 5-10lbs a month on there lifts so be prepared to dedicate some time to your goals. Good luck!!

1-2 years you want your bench to go from 87 to 300?? lol.. not gonna happen. The deadlift and squat is probably do-able though.

u could get

300 bench in 3-4 years
300 squat- 1-2 years
300 dead 1-2 years

took me 1 year for 300 squat/dead...not 300 bench yet, started at 150x1 dead, 135x3 squat

[DanielBeauchamp]

My Squat isn't at 300 yet, nor my Bench, but I got up to a 300 Deadlift after about two months and a few weeks. (Started at 170)

Just keep up with strength training and focus on good form. Your lifts will go up in no time.

^^^^ Hey, idiots. The OP is a girl.

Gonna take a lot longer than a few years for her to get 300 pounds on any of those lifts. She lacks the testosterone that allows us to get stronger and more muscular. Unless she's juicing, it's gonna be awhile.

I know she's a girl; I didn't say she'd be able to do them in a few months. But I'm sure she can work up to them if she puts in the effort. It's very doable eventually, IMO.

I'm aware you didn't say months. I said years.

I dont think you will ever bench 300lbs. I dont think you will ever bench 200lbs. You'd have to cycle to squat and DL 300+ too IMO. Reassess your goals though, I'd love to see you prove me wrong. Your lifts now are pretty strong for a girl too. I'd say youre about equal with an untrained guy of the same age.

Have seen girls deadlift 300, never cycled. She didn't even looked like she lifted weights either. I agree about the bench though.

no offence, but you will probl never reach 300lbs on any of them, especially bench. i have an aunt who is a pro bodybuilder, shes been in magazines and stuff, and she can only bench 270. so 300 bench aint gonna happen. but if you really tried you could probly get the deadlift and maybe the squat to 300. depends how much you really want it tho.

Any more questions?

pretty much this.

[xc_mtb]

1-2 years you want your bench to go from 87 to 300??

i did it in 2 and a half.... just sayin lol. i realize its probably a little different for the OP, being a female.

[slowbus]

With a proper strength routine for a male, hitting 300 in two years on bench is incredibly doable. Hitting 300 on Squat and deadlift in a year is also doable, with deadlift being doable within a matter of probably half a year.

[Pain Zone]

Bout two years.... is needprefection a chick? kinda looks like it in the pic

[Chill27]

SQUAT!!!!!

and every teen miscer will bow down down to your jacked legs!!!!

[syntaxle]
