looks good. keep an eye on that goal man.

i'm giving up squats though..i have a wrist problem so i can bend it 180 to support the bar on my back....have started hack squats though..and loving it

2 things I want to mention on this video. 1st one is look how Stan Efferding holds the barbell during squat. It might fix the problem on your squats. 2nd, this is the current world record =)

i wouldn't give up the back squat and replace them with hack squats (barbell or machine variant) as the latter is targeted at your quads. i would however recommend both back and hack squat as part of your routine .

with regards to your wrist problem, you're most likely resting the bar closer to the underside of your knuckles and not on your wrist. this causes your wrist to hyperextend further irritating your wrist problems while you squat. i would suggest that you do a reasonable amount of wrist stretches prior to any workout requiring your wrists to flex and to use wrist wraps for added support.

for those who are lazy to watch the video, 864lb raw squat is the squat to beat. note that raw lifts still allow 13mm thick belts, wrist wraps and neoprene knee sleeves.

before thinking about entering the 2000lb club, let's focus on entering the 1000lb club first, heh.

Here's mine..
DL 286 lbs
squat 220 lbs
bench 198 lbs

total 704 lbs.. around 66kg now. need to eat more

almost the end of November now. anyone testing/tested their maxes?

still looking for potential members.

Just tested my max for squat for the first time on last Monday. It was 271lbs 1RM and it is easy (no grinding). I'll test it on next Monday together with deadlift. This Friday I'll test the bench press.

My estimation, I would be around 650 lbs total

you probably have another 30-40lbs more in your squat you've also got the weight to push/pull huge weights, so i think if you did focus on strength, you might very well reach that 1000lb goal sooner.

End of 2012 bump.

Anyone tested maxes lately post them up. Even if your a specialist in anyone of those lifts, post them up. Happy new year all!

Okay, I'll add mine into the equation.

Bench = 154 lbs
Squats = 242 lbs
Deadlift = 264 lbs

Total is 660 lbs. Far from 1000 lbs. =/

good. one of your resolutions for 2013 would be to bring your total up to 800lbs or more.

All my lifts either stagnated or went down T.T

I have, however, lost 4 inches of waist measurement LOL. And 3kg

Current stats as per 29/12/2012 (end of year 2012):

Bench 110kg,
Squat 121kg,
Deadlift 148kg,

Total lift 379kg = 835.5lb

Will try target 900lb for next year!!

My stats are

bench press - 125kg (275lbs) x 5 reps
squats - 160kg (352lbs) x 4 reps
deadlift - 200kg (440lbs) x 2 reps

so my total is 1067lbs. Yay! I'm in! Bodyweight 83kg btw.

Props but those value should be 1RM

Thanks.

But don't know them cause never tried.

wow..superstrong..any tips to increase bench presses? coz i'm stuck at 100kg for reps? Your deadlift is superb but i think ur squat is ur best lift next to bench..

Just keep pushing yourself and train consistently. Aim for incremental increases. One rep at a time. One kg at a time. And my bench is pretty weak actually... I think of it as the weakest among the 3.

Thanks for the tips..btw, I've stuck at 90kg 5x5 since last year..been trying to finish up till last set but still can't get the last set..always had up to 4th set for 5 reps..does that mean that i should increase my mass to help me break the plateau or try find out my weak link and work towards that?

The progress is very slow as I can do now 95kg x 6 reps now..100kg for 4 reps.. basically what i'm trying to say is that i can't go for incremental increases even the smallest plate..maybe i should go for lower rep ranges? 3x5? 2x5? 1x5? how does that help?

Thanks in advance..

Word. Here they compare d*** size and who can piss further. Let the game's begin! I'm just a spectator.
