1,000 lbs crew

**PhiSig2298** · 12-02-2011, 07:52 AM

Needed to pull 435 to hit the 1,000 lb mark. Pulled 405 (PR) tried pulling 415 and couldn't lock it out.. No gloves, no chalk, just a belt

Squat - 315
Bench - 250

Frustrating to say the least. Going to take a week to deload on squats and try to get better form. I feel like it's good but I guess it could get better. Getting low enough, feels comfortable but I feel like switching up my stance a little could help. No vids, sorry.

Edit: I guess the reason I chose squats is because I feel like its the weakest. Feel like I could do more for my size.

Up your bench by 15 and your squat by 15 bud!

**deadpool9** · 12-02-2011, 08:02 AM

I know what you mean. I am 18lbs short of hitting the 1k.

**psychodiver9** · 12-02-2011, 08:03 AM

You're closer than I am buddy. Keep it up and it'll happen

**jak3e1992** · 12-02-2011, 08:05 AM

I just passed 1,000 1 week ago

Just push the bench a tiny bit more and you're there easily.

**ko300zx** · 12-02-2011, 08:05 AM

I believe you meant 1000lb squad crew group.

Good lifts so far. You'll hit it in no time.

Seems like 15 on the bench would take a long time. I feel like I could add 15 to my squat with ease (not ease but with a different stance). 405 on DL made me see stars when I locked it out.

lol thanks

forever out of the 1,000 lbs crew :P

Keep working on those squats. Heavy squats with good form = strong ass lower back = strong DL. Good luck!

**HunterCML** · 12-02-2011, 08:10 AM

I know that feel, OP.

Form felt good, 305 didnt seem too difficult, 315 was a strain 320 was a fail

Get some chalk, it'll make a bigger difference than you think, trust me on that.

**Ajaro** · 12-02-2011, 08:13 AM

nah being that close you've got it. You can definitely inch your squat and bench up a bit more I'd say.

Not as long as you'd think. Here is an idea of what I was able to accomplish in 1 hard year of training:

Deadlift: 2010=315lb max ; 2011 500lb max
Bench: 2010=225lb max ; 2011 315lb max
Squat: Unfortunately was unable to squat all year due to patella tendonitus in both of my knees. However, 2007 =225lb max ; 2008=365lb max.

Find the right workout, follow the right diet, and push yourself to the limit.

**waatsgood** · 12-02-2011, 08:13 AM

Run smolov jr for bench and deadlift for the next 3 weeks. Profit?

**deadpool9** · 12-02-2011, 08:16 AM

I honestly think I could make it up through my DL quicker than I could through my squat or bench, lol. I pulled a 425x3 on Tuesday, and was much easier with a better warmup than last time I did it. I think next time I can go for more.
I have been working on my squat form a lot though, maybe see better results next week.

Eh. Not as close as you, bud.

420 dead, 315 squat, 225 bench.

So embarrassing. :/

brb I bench as much as guys I know used to do in the 8th grade (srs). 960 total isn't terrible considering I've been lifting correctly for less than 6 months.

About to do Smolov Jr for bench and squat and I'm 100% confident I'll break 1k before the new year.

**PhiSig2298** · 12-02-2011, 08:20 AM

Thanks for the encouraging words guys and gals..

I'll look into some chalk & doing smolov.. Anyone have a good link for me to read on it?

**mannydawg** · 12-02-2011, 08:23 AM

If everything goes as planned I should be hitting 1000k just around new years. If not a few weeks after.
I am cutting so my strength gains are not as fast as they could be but I have yet to stall on any lift so far.

Good luck on hitting 1K OP. I will max out on the first or a few days before and hopefully I can squeeze
1k out of my ass without passing out. lol

**etopetrovich** · 12-02-2011, 08:24 AM

Hit 985 total in my first year lifting

275 bench
305 squat
405 deadlift

*SoClose*
