thinking it might be interesting to get a list of forummers here who have successfully reached the 1000lb total for their barbell back squat, barbell bench press and barbell deadlift. doesn't matter what sort of training you're into, if you've got those numbers, post them!

it's always fun to look at numbers if you want to get inspired, stroke your ego, etc. so post your totals!

Template:




for those of us who have yet to reach this total, feel free to post yours and once you've reached it i'll add the names onto the member list. if i've missed your name, drop me a PM with a link to your post so i can add you onto the list.

Ok. I'll start with mine first:

Squat - 110kg (242.5lb)
Bench Press - 110kg (242.5lb)
Deadlift - 135kg (297.6lb)

Total = 355kg (782lb)

Suppose a good ratio to 1000lb will be 250lb:350lb: 400lb on bench: squat: deadlift

but i guess it depends on your bodyweight also..mine is at 77.5kg.. trying to nail both squat n deadlift numbers up..

Hmmm...

Squat 210
Bench 85 (lol i know)
Deadlift 217.5

I wear around 69-71kg.

85kg or 85lb for one rep?

Squat - 340lb (156kg)
Bench Press - 220lb (100kg)
Deadlift - 370lb (168kg)
Total - 930lb (423kg)

currently at 178lbs bodyweight and am still able to compete in the 82.5kg weight class.

wow your deadlift ...how many reps for all those above ?

I'll bite,

Squats 130kg (285lbs)
Bench 100kg (220lbs)
Deadlift 200kg (440lbs)

945lbs total at 75kg approx.
All except deads are not 1rm's, don't have them because I neverr attempted.

Good stuff mike. So you did break your PR and then some eh.

Squats: 100kg
Bench: 75kg
Deadlift: 130kg
I'm around 66kgs.

Oh that was with straps and belt. The most recent one was without. Which pr should I put in lol. You didn't really specify

And nope didn't manage the 180 raw

For dealift, for my PR is naked + normal sports attire..no straps, belts, all RAW!

So ur deadlift should be around 170-180kg one rep max deadlift..

You doing it raw does not mean that everyone else should. Unless specified its a RAW deadlift I'm not gonna edit my numbers.

I wouldn't be doing so much raw deads anyways if I didn't misplace my straps grr..

Good job guys. Good to see your maxes being posted for the benefit of all.

Mike, I have to admit I did not put much thought into my post but when I get home, I shall make some amendments. I suggest you and future posts include a note at the side of the lift or somewhere in your post stating if any equipment was used to aide in your PR for the required lifts.

Keep it up guys and gals.

Thanks seasick, but even then I'm still not welcome into the club just yet.

Believe it or not I'm still looking for that sweet spot with my grip hence the low numbers. My peers in the same category are however easily surpassing my bench numbers

As they say, WIP.

I guess it all boils down to you being in canada and able to join a powerlifting competition.

We however don't have the objective in mind hence the indifference of using tools. I would definitely be training the same way as you if such an event happens here. Until then, straps and belt for me heh

Squat - 112.45kg (247.9lb)
Bench Press - 110kg (242.5lb)
Deadlift - 135kg (297.6lb)

Total - 357.45kg (788lb)

as per today (3th November 2012)..

So strong.

chasing numbers i see. hehehe. keep up the enthusiasm man. your first 2 milestones would be to break the 300lb barrier on your deadlift and squat.

I think my bench can't go that much so i target around 250lb for my bench.. which is not much far..i just did 242.5lb yesterday..

300lb for deadlift sounds not much..i target at double my bodyweight first, around 341.7lb..

As for squat, 300lb sounds good enough..the more the better..

Do you increase your muscle mass during upping your max?

250lb for the bench would be a nice milestone to reach and then slowly work up to 300lb which is not going to be easy because it will take a lot of time.

it's always a numbers game but you should always train to have a rep or two left in you or you might find yourself cutting weight back often.

tbh, i feel that i've only increased strength and size takes a back seat in my endevours. i don't feel like i look big if that makes sense.
