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..

85kg or 85lb for one rep?

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..

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

Total - 357.45kg (788lb)

as per today (3th November 2012)..

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?

For me, benching has always been in the game..that's y relatively it has bigger ratio compared to my other lifts..

300lb is still long way for me.. Despite that, I still hope that my deadlift numbers which is going up is gonna help me boost up some of bench numbers..

Not pushing to limit? I thought for max strength, you need to give it all? Covered by longer rest periods?


Strength is what matters, size is what that follows..

Yeap, actually i kinda like get the feeling of deload where you gather and rest your strength nerves during heavy singles to triples. It helps me just that i kinda feel like dunno when to start deload..

My deload training style consist of doing fitness style reps (12-15 reps) at 60-70% for 4 sets..at the end of set of last rep is up to failure..

Is it good to be training this way or just follow the 5x5 but just deloading the weights?

Ok. Some people think of that way. Its personal preference.

Added on November 5, 2012, 12:23 pmI see.. so the trends follows like increasing intensity for few weeks and deload for 1 week, and next cycle is same pattern except that the intensity is bigger compared to previous cycle? eg 75/85/95% - 1rm, deload, let's say the max is increased by 5%, so 75/85/95% - 1.05rm, deload and so on..

Is this right? Is it good to always stay at 75/85/95% or change frequently?

Yeah, as I mentioned, touching chest frequently FOR ME is gonna do rotator injuries for me, despite knowing the fact that there are many rotator cuff exercises..

However, I've tested also several times that for one rep max between touching chest and 2 inches off is no difference for me..hence i'm gonna use 2 inches since it is better for my rotator cuff, so i can just concentrated on duin it 2 inches off..

Is this something bothering you? Just wondering..

Is my bench form poor? I mean all of the setup and everything?

Is that what you wanna comment? For justifying everything you believe about TOUCHING your chest is a must?? For everybody? Despite advising them that they should do whatever that works?

Look, if you're the person that have big chest or 90 degree elbow angles and rarely had rotator cuff, you WOULD only understand that..but think of also the people which really had been doing some experiments and what works for them as well.. to me, benching 2 inches off is NOTHING wrong as long as the one rep max between touching n not is the same.. Ok I take note that duin rotator exercises will MAYBE eventually avoid all this things..but not everyone does it, including me..

So, I take note on whatever comments that is necessary, but do note on my standings as well on this matter..

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!!

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..

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..
