What are you current max lifts by body weight?

[jpaulhansen]

Hi all, so I’m focusing on strength at the moment. I’m using some of the 5,3,1 program, alongside other things.

My current body weight is 70kg (m, 166cm)

• Bench: 100kg (1.43 x bw)
• Deadlift: 152.5kg (2.18 x bw)
• Squat: 125kg (1.78x bw)
• OHP: 62.5kg (0.89x bw)

What’s yours? What are you aiming for?

I’m aiming for 1.5 x bench, 2 x squat at the moment.

Edit: should say ‘your’ in the title…

@jpaulhansen 5’8 155 lbs
Bench press - 145 lbs
Squat - 250 lbs
Deadlift - 205 lbs
OHP - 105 lbs

Coming up on one year lifting. Feels like the lower lifts progress a lot faster than upper. Progression has been tough on the bench at times.

@kaiisbae How is your squat bigger than your deadlift? Is this common?

@promel10 Idk - to be fair, these are predicted 1RM’s from Strong app. My current best sets are:

Squat - 155 x 15
Deadlift - 175 x 6

So it seems like that best set with the squats rocketed up my predicted 1RM. I’ve only really tried to do 1 rep maxes once. I typically workout alone in a weight room at the school I teach at, so I’m a little risk averse for those.

@kaiisbae Oh I like the Strong app too, 155 x 15 would be intense. Nice work.

@promel10 Thanks. I was feeling good that day and just went for as many as possible.

@kaiisbae The difference 2.5kg (5.5lb) can make on bench is quite ridiculous at times. More so OHP.

While my current is 100kg bench (set a week ago after the stars aligned with diet, sleep and rest), I attempted this again yesterday and couldn’t get it. I blame tiredness, stress and work.

Those are great lifts for a year of training mate. Keep at it!
