Previous record was 275. Then I got 305 a few weeks after the 275. Deadlift by the way. So I got 305@14 years old. its not much but not bad either i guess

LaggingBiceps · 10-09-2005, 05:35 AM

my old record for bench was 150-160, not sure how much my bar weighs. and last time i squatted at gym was 185x1. ill be maxing out on bench on monday and post again but squat, i think i have a problem with my form so i wont be going heavy on that for a while.

im hoping at get 160-170 on bench monday

**BigZeke** · 10-11-2005, 11:07 PM

Pulled 315 for 3 reps raw on deads today. I know it's not much compared to some of you guy's deads but it's about 110 over BW and I've never hit that without straps. I was pretty happy.

I failed on 335 at about shin level. If I had chalk I'm sure I could have gotten a single.

Congrats on your new PR in the deadlift. :yes:

We'll be looking for your next one at 335.

**BigZeke** · 10-12-2005, 12:07 AM

Thanks, I hope to hit the 335 soon. The 315 felt very smooth.

Finally broke 200 in incline BB press(205). I rarely try maxing out, and for the last couple months I've been using db's only. I guess I was just feeling lucky.

**BigZeke** · 10-12-2005, 01:03 AM

Nice job! Almost at 225

Remember that a PR doesn't have to come in the form of a 1 rep max.

Yeah, I prefer inches on my measurements

I've messed up some ligament in my back. That's 5 months without major injuries - which is a record and personal best for me

My best normal squat for reps was 510x10. Not so hot when compared to Platz doing 500x23.

I have taken joint supps off and on for years. Unfortunately today's supps weren't around when I was in my early twenties. I just started to take a Chondroitin, Glucosamine, and MSM supp for my increasing elbow pains.

were you bouncing at the bottom of the squat? just wondering...
