Nope, all you gotta do is get to 334 in everything, you can do that by age 25 if you stay injury free.

Or by the age of 22 with proper training.

At 200 lbs and being so young I should hope so.
I started lifting 4 months ago at 34 years old (many prior athletic activities though including machine weights and dumbbells for a semester in college), 165 lbs and my estimated current total is almost 900.

True, of course doing something at 22 is still by the age of 25, I dunno if you are having another dig at me, or just have poor reading comprehension.

Lol, if you agree with 22, then why arbitrarily say 25? Why not say 30? or 35? You're "by the age of" statement would still be true. Saying by 25 if injury free is quite misleading and random if you also believe its possible by 22. 1000 lb total within a year is easy at 200 lb body weight. Don't make it sound like 25 should be the goal. 1500 at 25 should be the goal if he is serious about it.

I hit it at age 34, so you shouldn't be out of the running. I did stop going really heavy soon after I hit it though, recovery just isn't as pleasurable.

What the **** is the 1000 pound club?

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

Easy at your age/size. I started lifting at 27, started focusing on big 3 more at 29, 31 right now with 1,100ish total, shooting for 1,500# by 33. (Bench press holding me back, naturally weak at it and had a couple injuries prevent me from training it for almost 50% of the past 2 years.)

Lol, I'm going to take it as a good sign that I had to google him. I've never heard of him before.

These threads....

"I'm 22 is it too late ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Since when was 22 OLD ? For anything ?

It isn't!

Stop looking for excuses to fail.

I'm 31 and I'm probably just about the enter the 1000lb club, I'll be testing with some 1rm this week and next.

It's already been said, you can do it within 9 months (this year) if you train properly and look after yourself.
