Stats time!

[Funicle]

I weighed myself today, 100kg from 102kg.Looks like supersets really help in losing weight + some cardio..

Strength still remains the same

 

[galapogos]

Cool...so you're cutting now?

 

[Funicle]

not really..just lose some weight but no planning to get ripped or anything.

Anyway, i do not know if i can do 100kg 1RM now but when i tried 40kg dumbbells i managed to chest press those like i did at a heavier body weight last time.

 

[Funicle]

ERm i am 100kg now, do change it yea..

New PR for my bench this morning - 95 kgs for 8 reps.

5 more kgs to go for 2 plated on each side for reps ....

 

[galapogos]

Congrats man. My strength has gone down quite a bit. You're way ahead of me now, hehe...

 

[hermanchauw]

My best DL is 122.5kg (1.91xBW) and i wasn't really cycling the weights much, just testing my current max that time. I believe i could do more if i give myself more time.

No bench, no squat. Seldom step in the gym. Not really into max sterngth, more into stength endurance.

Regularly do military press at home with KBs.
Going for reps with one 24kg and 16kg KB.
Current training maxes:
24kg x15 per arm
16kg x40 per arm
16kg total 300reps in 17min

Aiming for 1000reps with 16kg.

 

[subchronic13]

Weight: 66.8kg

Bench: 68.2 kg (150 lb)
Squat: 95.5 kg (210 lb)
Barbell Rows: 65.9 kg (145 lb)
Deadlift: 95.5 kg (210 lb)

all for 5 reps.

 

[thor123]

Steady improvement to my bench - today 9 reps with 95 kgs.

Congrats everyone on the improvement. I am out of action recently becoz of eczema and job hunting. Hopefully, i will be able to update my stats soon .

 

[jorand]

Wow...strong man gathering over here...If i dont have the record for deadlife and squat...can i post my beach press stat here? and wad do u mean by PR?

 

[galapogos]

Hi jorand...so far I've only added people who at least have stats for 2 out of the 3 lifts. Otherwise it becomes more of a pain to update the stats. It also gives the member a good incentive to start doing the other lifts, because they are good for you! Of course you can share your bench press(I assume bench not beach!) stats here, but until you have stats for dl or squat, it won't be up in the list.

PR is short for personal record

this morning, which was ytd, i tried squatting for the first time, full squat. i scared i do wrongly..sorry if i post in the wrong section, but i dun wanna create new thread. feel like joining in but so far i havent tried benching because it is always occupied

btw, squatted 50kg, 10 reps. feel like i can do more. please guide me, sorry gala, i read ur first post, still dun understand about the 1RM thingy

 

[galapogos]

1RM stands for 1 rep max. It's the heaviest weight that you can manage to do only 1 rep. If you can do anything more than that, then it's not your 1RM - you should up the weight and try again.

However, doing 1RM is extremely taxing and potentially dangerous since form goes down the drain when you're lifting your maximum, increasing the risk for injury. Hence, most people do not attempt their 1RM except for special conditions(competition, personal evaluation). Most people do several reps, and in order to have a level playing ground here, I've included a rather conservative 1RM calculator. It's not 100% accurate and will differ from person to person, but for the sake of having fun here, it's sufficient. If you squatted 50kg for 10 reps, simply enter 50 in the "weight lifted" and 10 in the "reps done" and hit "calculate" and it'll show you your estimated 1RM

 

[subchronic13]

Deadlift: 97.7 kg (215 lb) x 5 reps
Squat: 95.5 kg (210 lb) x 5 reps

Weight: 66.4kg

cheers. hoping to hit the 100kg mark at least and double 45 lb plates soon !! cheers !! my bench hasn't been doing very well due to too much festive seasons !! haha

Hi galapogos

You asked me to post my stats here but I am trying to get hold of a video of my competition lifts (this was done without suite and belt). I will post my stats along with a link to the video - hope it wont be too long but it was in another country.

 

[galapogos]

Hey, videos would be great man! I wanna tape my squats too coz I think my form might be off. I keep getting back pain when doing my 5RMs...anyway, let me know your stats so I can enter it in the list. I don't need video as proof

and subchronic, please make my work a little bit easier next time by converting the numbers to 1RM. Thanks!

 

[subchronic13]

hey sorry abt that.

new PRs:

Squat: 97.7 kg (215 lb) x 5 reps = 110 kg (242 lb) x 1 rep
Bench: 70.5 kg (155 lb) x 5 reps = 79.1 kg (174 lb) x 1 rep
Deadlift: 97.7 kg (215 lb) x 5 reps = 110 kg (242 lb) x 1 rep

weight: 66.6kg

 

[subchronic13]

Oops...Sorry for all the typo... For my bench press that i've done on 04 Jan 07 was 96kg X 5 Rep = 108KG X 1 Rep.
As for the other 2,i am training alone and i've never try any of this before so dont think i can do it alone . Btw my BW is 107KG and HT is 176CM.
Thanks.
