How much do you lift???

[thehulksmash75]

Everyone talks about "lifting heavy" so I'm interested to know what everyone is lifting. I know it varies for everyone but I'm just interested to know. How much do you lift for the basics...bicep curl, shoulder press, squat, deadlift, etc. This should be fun

Thanks

Press 285
Squat 761
Dead 711
Bench 308

A 200 lb woman squatting her own body weight plus 300 pounds. I don't believe that for a second.
I think I'm pretty strong and my max is 235 am I wrong?

200lb of what? If she's what any natural 200lb woman is -- severely overfat -- then she needs to lose weight until she isn't overfat. That might bring her down to 150lb, or even lighter. If it brings her down to 150lb, then we're only looking at a 225lb max squat from her (150x1.5 = 225). That's two plates, which, frankly, a 150lb woman who regularly squats and focuses on strength development should be able to achieve (not right away, but in due time with consistent effort in the gym). This is especially true if we're allowing squat shoes, belts and knee sleeves, and then there's squat suits and knee wraps for the highly competitive.

If she's 200lb and lean, which I would only expect from someone on Vitamin-T, then a 300lb squat ought to be a cakewalk, as you don't build that much muscle without developing the capacity to squat several hundred pounds.

So as I said, if a 200lb woman can't squat 1.5x bodyweight, she needs to lose weight, get stronger, or both.

Not very good yet, but I just began SS a few weeks ago.

^^^ ditto that

BUT no "need" for 200 lb woman to be lean nor on T to do 1.5 x bw a naturally heavy and strong women could do it with training. I'd love to be 6'2 ft 200lb version of me ... dreaming of grand plus totals.

Wow, kinda neat to go back and look at my earlier post and see where I was vs. where I am now. I have only been working in the hypertrophy range since last March, and haven't tried pulling singles in ages. I know for a fact there's no way in hell I'd even get CLOSE to what I was benching then; my shoulder is done. I'd be luckyto press 125 ONCE, and even that is pushing it.

Last winter I did manage a 2 plate squat and a 3 plate DL. These days, I'm focusing on maintaing strength and maintaining muscle so I can be the best I can possibly be at the other sports I like.

As of November:

Squat 255
Deadlift 280

I'm hoping to lose 20lbs and add 20lbs to each of my lifts within the next 6 months.
