[steve_langford]

I just want to see where I am cus ive never trained 'heavy' before....

Mine:

Bench - 100kg
Squat - 120kg
Deadlift - 100kg

Bad I know but you wait til I get the gear I mean supplements in my system hahaha

[Rob T]

I can't squat... bench 3x70, deadlift 3x130. Bodyweight 77kg. I don't have time to do much lifting at the moment though.

[BlueRabbit]

When I saw the title of this thread I was reminded of a company sign I saw in South Africa- Schindler's Lifts. I'm super serial. Damn near pissed myself.

[southxstyle]

Bench 90kgs

Squat 100kgs

deadlift 140kgs

Weigh 73kgs.

Trying to mix up the way I train now though, started out a few years ago with a "body builders" type routine and don't think that will be that great when it comes to fighting.

[boxingbrit]

before 2006
bench- 140
Deep knee squat- 180
Deadlift- over 200
There is a video online somewhere of me and Leigh Remedios doing these. i was 76 kilos and Leigh was 70ish.

Since drinking/ partying on a regular basis i am 85 kilos
bench- 120
Squat- 180
Deadlift- 180 (cant grip heavier from hand injury)

[Craig]

About to start a strength training programme (i.e. low rep, heavy weight) this week after doing 3 x 8's for a couple of months.

Tried out my 4 rep max's tonight to see where I am at and had the following:

120kg bench press (down to chest and back)

145kg deep back squat (thighs just below parallel)

210kg lever dead lift (I tend to use the lever, which makes it easier, as it is a hassle loading an empty bar by yourself).

Weight 95kg.

I was grunting loudly doing these!

[boxingbrit]

What is a lever deadlift?

I find I spend so long pissing about loading a normal barbell for deadlifts in my gym that I get pissed off with it. I therefore just load up this with plates and it saves a lot of time. Same movement, but you can only go perfectly straight up and down, meaning it makes it a bit easier (less stabilizers involved).

Is that deadlift maxing out? Just seems a bit of a weird figure, considering I'm weak as piss and deadlift about 130kgs for 10 reps, and my bench is like 70kg max. Can't squat for shit.

[6million$man]

Pre injury:

bench: 110kg
squat: 130kg
deadlift: 160kg

I weigh about 73kg and am working on getting back up to (and hopefully beyond!) these lifts after having acl surgery.

I doubt its my max. My back twinged so I shit out.

[GreekGod]

Since concentrating more on Cardiovascular and doing more Grappling & Bag/Padwork i'd have to assume that these lifts may have dropped as my weight has dropped, but they were like this for 3-5 Reps:

My Height and weight: 6"3 .. 85kg

Bench Press: 140KG (3 Reps) Incline: 110KG (3 Reps)
Squat: 165KG (5 Reps)
Deadlift: 165KG (5 Reps) .. For some reason I've had a pinching pain by the left side of my groin if i go too heavy, though i believe i have enough strength to DL more.

I Generally never have spotters and therefore I don't tend to try a #1 Rep Max.

[ocuana]

there goes my strongman dreams :(

Max Bench 2 x 144kg
squat 3 x 150kg
deadlift 3 x 175kg

When I think of those; at (118kg) I feel weak when reading other's.
However; I managed 4 reps clean and press at 105kg.
I can shrug 60kg dumbbells cleanly for around 25-30 reps.

[samurai69]

i dont really bench these days but was best of 140kg, now i can manage 1 arm benches 0f 50kg on my good arem and 35 to40 kg on my bad arm though its catching up

deadlift on a normal bars 220kg, 225kg on a trap bar, rack pull upto 300kg and a rack lockout of 388kg


again cant squat now as my knees are bad, best in the past was 190kg and 170kg zercher

1 arme d bel shoulder press r/h 50kg for 1 rep and l/h 40kg 1 rep

i handed barbell snatch r/h 45kg, cant do the left as the explosive movement is too painfull

[MikeyL]

At last check before ruining shoulder;

Dead - 147.5
Squat - 110
Bench - 65

Body weight - 75 (now down to below 71 in 3 weeks :( )

[leekirtley]

is that 65kg flat bench press ?

[simonmobiledisco]

before injury at 77, 5 6"

bench 105 (actual)
Squat 150 (calculated from 5RM)
Dead 186 (calculated from 5RM) although I would have need staps for that lift as my grip is shoddy.

I now have screwed my lower back twice and am not planning to squat heavy or deadlift for the rest of 2010

For some reason my worst lift are wide grip chins. I can barely do 3 x 5 of them and my best was 3 x 8 when i was training intensively.

I'm now hovering around 80 KGs and planing to drop weight to 73kg by the end of the year and concentrate on sport

[mitchjkd1000]

at 74kg and 6ft 1

bench 110 2 reps
dead 150 4 reps

squats kill me so dont do them.

[blanker]

my best lifts ever were
squat 200kg
bench 160kg
deadlift 240kg

i couldnt lift that now and havent trained weights for about 2 years as i have been bitten by the bjj bug and now spend my spare time with men inbetwean my legs.

[Rear Naked Choke]

Bench 135kg
Squat 200kg
Dead Lift 220kg
Shrugs - whatever I want!!

Take care,

Stalks

[SWM]

At 68kg, 6ft, 19yo.

Bench: 75kg

Deadlift: 110kg

Squat: 80kg (8reps), any heavier and I lose form.

I feel really lame, no idea how some guys can get such massive bpresses I can't ever seem to get above 75odd. Maybe it's my lanky arms....

before i say anything..

one question - how important is lifting in the realms of fighting..

opinions?

I think of it like this, Strength is the equivelent to horse power in a car. It doesn't make it faster, but it provide more potential power to utilised in that said vehicle

[Zanmato]

I need to get into a proper routine of lifting again, I've got it all in the house and have just been nipping through to do some various lifts whenever I get bored. Any suggestions on what sort of routine I should be doing, mixing up the following:

Deadlift with my trap bar
>Just started using this and have been doing 3x10 with 40KG but am going to move it up to 60KG or something later on today, I just put 40 on to see what it was like and it doesn't seem a lot

Benchpress with a standard 7ft barbell
>Just moved the weight up on this yesterday and may have over-done it lol. Currently have 40KG on there and can maybe do 2-3 reps at a time. Maybe 2 sets of that with several minutes inbetween lol :o

Other things I've been doing but not recently, so don't have any figures: military press & bicep curl with an EZ-Bar (was using about 20KG and doing 10 & 20 at a time respectively but could probably move that up now as I've put on about 5lb since stopping). Shoulder press & tricep extention with a dumbell (was using about 8KG but again have not tried since putting on a bit of weight).

Other than that I've been doing press ups (4x25), Ab Ripper X (http://www.ehow.com/how_4505064_ab-ripper-x-workout-px.html) & alternating every 10 reps for 4 sets single-leg dips between 2 chairs.

Any idea for a good work-out regimin/change of sets & reps to help increase strength and muscle size? Edit: I'm about 63KG just now

[TheJuice]

Squat - 165 KG
Bench - Trying for 125 tonight(current is 115kg for 3)

I would add in squats, Over head or other wise. Remember a 7ft bar will way about 20k. your lifting that to, so thats a 60K bench.

This website lists almost all the exercise you can do, with little gif's too show you form and details of what muscles are worked, linked to the power training pages but have a look at the whole site its worth it.

Yes mate equipped, if I lift raw I tend to go a lot more narrow on the squat. Some workouts I will go up to 300kg without knee wraps just belt. For deadlifts I have pulled 340kg without a deadlift suit, its floating about on youtube somewhere lol. I'll be at the NEC going for the British record saturday ;)

Great lifts at 82.5kgs Little Bill!!!

[The Natural]

JESUS H CHRIST!!!

If those figures are true..u are hauling some serious iron.

Do u dedicate urself to weight training alone or are u competitive in mma also?

Awesome lifts also..if u are fight training do u nt feel that lifts like these effect ur training in an bad way? I feel lathargic and slow after i train with what i feel is ''heavy weights''.

[Chris Jenkins]

I compete in powerlifting and have done since 1999, I train in Wado Ryu karate and started bjj and judo a few months back. I do find I'm knackered if train both on the same day but try to fight through it. I tend to deadlift heavy on fridays over 320kg and I feel fine to roll the next day if I get a good night sleep and a good breakfast 90mins before.

I plan to compete karate and bjj in the next few months after saturdays powerlifting show at the NEC.

Yes done all lifts mentioned mate ;)

[LittleBill]

Cheers Chris and The Natural!

I really wanted to compete in powerlifting and was just making my 1st go at it when i injured myself again.

I dont really train the same anymore TN. now i do 1 day conditioning/circuits, 1 day explosive lifting (Powercleans, MD ball slams, push press etc) and 1 day Heavy lifting(5x5, 5x3, 3x3) using bench, DLs, front squats.

I havent found it an issue with thai boxing or wrestling but i havent tried bjj properly yet. I make sure my heavy lifting day is before a day off too.

Outstanding mate!

Do you post on UK-M? i recognise your name

[juliet]

im 84 kgs fighter

can bench 120 x 5

squat 130 x 5

deadlift - no idea


push ups - 60 per minute

pull ups - 35 per minute

dips - 65 per minute

[Dave78]

My biggest lifts were -

Bench - 112kg for 2
Squat - 125kg for 4
Dead - 100kg for 1!!!! - i cant deadlift for sh*t! Maybe due to lower back problems from a car crash i dunno?!

Pressups, 76 in 60 seconds

I'm 5'10 and 75kg

I must add that i never go as heavy as the above any more, I just don't find the positives of me going that heavy outweigh the negatives for me personally (i.e. joint damage etc)

Thanks very much, I just hope I'm as explosive when I lift on saturday;) We have a powerlifting show at the NEC anybody there come over and say hello :)

[russel]

good luck mate, i would luv to pick ur brain on what you do for training and how to improve on certain lifts.

[Suley]

This has motivated me to lift this lunchtime, :-)

[Chris Jenkins]

Anytime mate, thanks very much. Have a good session mate, smash it!
