Update on deadlift: Managed to do 105kg x 7 rep with right grip supinated and left pronated last nite. So my 1RM is 126kg. However, with pronated right and supinated left, i only managed to do 6 rep. The 7 rep set was done after the 6 rep set. Been training my forearms on every Monday but my right grip is still weak.

BTW, my current benchpress is 75 kg x 6 rep so the 1RM is 87kg but the stat shows 81kg

Oso need to update my bodyweight: It is 80kg now (been junking a lot recently )

 

[subchronic13]

tsk tsk. junking.

subchronic13 thanks for adding to the list. I was used to lbs too but we're in Singapore so it's easier for everyone if we stick to kgs. geo nice work, sorry about missing the update. That's why I need you guys to check through the list. With so many people in there, I can and will miss the details...

Edit: Wow, this thread is finally stickied after 8 pages and 225 posts Thanks to rockstar or whoever stickied it!

 

[subchronic13]

kg is alright with me. I'll just convert. np. cheers

First DeadLift

I was doing my shoulder work out today when I spotted the olympic bar on the floor in front of the squat rack...

Thought I would give deadlift a go since I have never tried nor done it before and I should conquer my fear of my lower back problem.

Man... It was a pain trying to get the plates on when the bar is on the floor.

I started with 2 plates x 2 rep as a test : 60.8kg x 2 rep. Felt fine... so I was contemplating about adding more weights then thought I save the trouble of gradually adding weights.

So I STRUGGLED to slot on another 2 plates, nearly sandwiching my fingers in the process

And I did 3 reps this time for a total of 101.6kg x 3 Reps, Max RM : 108kg

Honestly I am quite pleased with the results as this is my first time doing it.

But I do think I was a little rash without adding weights gradually like what I did for my bench. I could have busted my L4 and L5 slipped discs, especially I was not even wearing a belt to limit my lumbar movement

Next aim: Squats

Oh and my BW today is 116.8kg

 

[galapogos]

Good going nakorius. Yes it's a pain loading the bar when it's on the floor, but it's easier when the plates are metal rather than rubberized. The way I do it is load the 1st bar at the tip(should be easy), the use your knees to push the plate in while holding on to the bar/top of the plate.Repeat for all other plates. They slide in pretty easily since metal's smooth. Rubber will obviously be harder, especially if the plate holes fits the bar ends snugly. Hey I'm lazy to read through all 8 pages so why don't you gimme all your stats at once and I'll add them to the list.

[galapogos]

[nakorius]

Ok my stats

BW: 116.8kg

BP: 1 RM - 105kg

DL: 1 RM - 108kg

And yea rubber plates with rubber floor really... Grrrrr

 

[galapogos]

You're up nakorius. Now just lemme know how much you squat

 

[subchronic13]

alright. keep that for today. gonna hit the gym in 2 hours.

 

[X_slinger]

My new RM for squat is 100 kg! Wahahah . Go up from 99 -100 . Not much difference. Failed at 102.5kg.

 

[galapogos]

1kg is also an improvement. I'll update it for you. Anyway, failed to make a new squat PR today, only managed 2 reps instead of the 5. Something just gave when I was at the bottom...sigh...but did manage to equal my 95kg 5RM bench today, with room for 1-2 more I think. Taking it easy. Next week 5x97.5kg's going down!

Hello wonderful people.

I'm an 18 year old N00B powerlifter from Melbourne, Australia. I train under IPF rules.

I have been training properly for 9 months now and prior to that, just messing around in the gym for about 1 and a half years.

Well...my stats as of last competition at the start of September: -

Body weight - 114kg (at 6'1")

Squat - 210kg

Bench Press - 130kg (with complete pause, about 140kg without pause).

Deadlift - 230kg


Completing my next training cycle in 1 month...will update on stats then...

 

[galapogos]

Wow, another big and strong guy. Welcome. Are you singaporean or even asian?

 

[Doinker]

Hahaha..yes. I am VERY much Asian. From the Jungles of Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia).

However, I have many friends and family in Singapore...hence why I try to keep up to date with the scene there.
