What should lifting stats generally be at the 1 year mark of training?

[evansanity]

no. if you are an adult male and this is all you can achieve within a year of weight training you are doing it wrong.

When I was 14 and started lifting these were my numbers approx. after ~1 year

[WIDGE_uk]

after 1 year my bench was 70kg/145lbs

squat was 200lbs
deadlift around 250lbs

and i was prob around 135lbs bodyweight

after 5 years.

bench is around 2 fiddy, squat 375, deadlift 465

everyone is different OP, i know people who lifted what i did after 2 years the first time they even trained but even they will tell you, as long as you are moving forward then your good, it really is true when people say its a marathon not a sprint, been plenty of people stronger than me after X amount of training down the years, but I'm still lifting and stronger than them now, don't get hurt either, you cant get better while your injured.

read my comment. I said adult male. for a 14 year old it would be good.

[joshwah]

the bench stat is unrealistic.

2.5 years in and I still barely bench 190-200 for a single.

Yet rep 3 plates on squat and

4 plates for 2/3 on DL.

Soon as this cut is done mang. That 2 plate bench is the goal.

[IcemanIsDead]

Depends on how much you eat, how you train and how much you weighed when starting out, howeer, I have been training for 11 months or so and started at 110 lbs, benching 80, squatting 90, deadlifting 135

Now my lifts are 140/225/315 and they could be a lot higher if it weren't for fukarounditis and sickness (started treatment for depression and lost 10 lbs in under a month and lost a lot of strength)

[NRidder]

Phuck brah if that's your chest in your avi you're a phucking sikkunt. What're your stats like now?

335 Bench
500 DL
And a pitiful 300 squat. (I know, I know...)

I don't care what you squat lol, you have one of the best chests on the misc no doubt. Inspiring stuff man, considering how you started. How long you been lifting?

[Oburoni]

if you dont hit 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat and 4 plate deadlift in around a year lifting then you're doing something wrong. I started a weak as fuk skeleton and trained mostly hypertrophy and still did it within 10 months.

bodybuildying.com not powerlifting.com.... nobody gives a **** about your numbers if you look like chit

On an off for 5 years. First three was just me following mindless broscience, and not eating enough. Only did DB bench press aswell, but the gym only had 80lbs DBs.

[Jeep01]

Idk man everyone's different. I say a decent strength would be Bench 185*1 Squat 225*1 Deadlift 275*1

[Tastel]

bodybuildying.com not powerlifting.com.... nobody gives a **** about your numbers if you look like chit

im mirin hard

[brahskimoseph]

405 bench
700lb squat
750 dead



and if your not 280lbs lean than you should just stop lifting

[TonyJH]

Time does not matter. What matters is that you're staying consistent with your goals, no matter how long it may take you.

[Negligence]

185 bench
225 squat
315 deadlift

Everyone will be different but those numbers are achievable by anyone, regardless of weight, in the first year.

[FLChamp]

315/225/405 definitely favors youngsters around 200lbs. Anything lighter will probably see fluctuation. This also assumes minimal technique errors and most likely no influence from extra stimuli. That means if there is conditioning, the novice lifter is already primed to handle it or it was minimal GPP to keep them from wheezing on their couch.

It also assumes a decent window of heights. 5'9"era to 6'1"era can get those stats in a year of dedicated training.

[Cranz]

On my first year too.

Lifts are said to be 300 squat, 225 bench and 350+ DL.

All 1rm.

[Dmc1240]

lol @ the people saying you need to hit 2/3/4 after a year. I look at their stats and they are always 6' 200+ lbs. Bunch of delusional miscers thinking that its universal and applies to someone starting at 120-130 lbs

[MrRipley]

You're doing fine anyway OP. Depends how willing you are to train and eat but 2/3/4 are achievable sub 200lbs.

[thesavagepony]

Hmm within 8 months my squat went from 185 - 415, but it was an extreme effort.

As a high schooler my bench went from 155 235 in a year with inconsistent effort, 270 after 1.5 of inconsistent.

Deadlift has gone from 135 to 425 in 4 months, but this is after lots of squatting. Extremely consistent.

But I'm heavier than some so this is probably affecting things, although I have mostly focused on hypertrophy.


I think from 0-225 bench is normal. (silva voice) Squat, 0-315 with hard work and deliberate effort. Deadlift, 0-350+ with hard work in first year. These sound very attainable for serious lifters.

Not all the strong guys in my gym are heavy, lots of crazy asians and mexicans that are small but lifting substantial weight, most of them dont look great but they can load the weight on.

Threads like this always make me feel weak as fuk, I've just hit my 1 year mark and my lifts look like this, (not sure what my 1rms are, since I haven't maxed for a while)

85-90kg bench (187-200lbs)

115-120kg squat (253-264lbs)

145-150kg DL (320-330lbs)

In any case I think its a huge improvement from when I started lifting, so I'm happy with it for now, hopefully by the end of next year I should be on 2/3/4. I honestly have no idea how you guys get to 2/3/4 in just a year from non-lifting status

[WintryRaven]

Hmm, kinda done goofed my first few months because I went on a bodybuilding split thinking that would be the best option, was a bit clueless about nutrition too, so i might've set myself back some. On a proper program with everything else perfectly dialled down, so I'm hopeful I'll hit 1/2/3/4 soon.

Dude, your stats are very close to 2/3/4. Do you strength train or is it bbing splits?

[esmile]

whats with all these estats? depends what u train for first year

[SiZzLaX]

everyone is so different it's impossible to say man. As long as you're making progress you're doing it right

[RealAesthetic]

if you dont hit 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat and 4 plate deadlift in around a year lifting then you're doing something wrong. I started a weak as fuk skeleton and trained mostly hypertrophy and still did it within 10 months.

avi: none

[WintryRaven]

Thing is you could be goofing around and doing things inefficiently by making slow progress when it could very easily be quite rapid.

[thesavagepony]

Good post, its an individual thing, some of us just are stylin more than others. Focus on how much you're lifting, not how much more I am.

[RihanM]

Dude, your stats are very close to 2/3/4. Do you strength train or is it bbing splits?

I started out doing SS and other variations of strength programs for like 7-8 months then moved on to P/P/L for 2-3 months and now I'm doing 5/3/1, so mostly strength training.

[blu51994]

been training for 2 years (1 yr 2 months consistently w/ proper routines & diet)

b 205 3/3/3
s 285 3/3/3
d 325 3/3/3
ohp 135 3/2/2
bb row 175 10/10/10
db shoulders 65 8/6/6
db incline 80 8/6/5

doing upper/lower/rest/pull/push/legs/rest
>main lifts besides BB row (b,s,d, ohp) i go for 3x3-5
>upper day lifts i go for 3x6-8
>all other accessories 3x10

started as a fatty with probably no lbm whatsoever. always ranged from 150-170 ,

highest was 170 at like 20%?
cut back down to 150 to like 12, and now I'm bulking again. currently 162ish

i maintained most of my strength during that cut so I'm hoping if i hit my strength goals this bulk, i can maintain it when i cut back down to 150
