You can post any many lifts as you want.

I can't be the strongest person here... but I do have youth on my side! I'll get bigger.

Half a lifetime ago, these numbers were 50% higher, but this is where I'm at now:
- Deadlift 343
- Bench 225 x 24: not the best form, but surprised myself because I don't work on this. Bench press in my mind is a pretty useless lift that I do mostly for warm-up.

- My workout is brief, just a few minutes: I do something to warm-up, especially the hamstrings and achilles, and then run as far as I can in a minute, turn around, and run back with whatever is left over (usually with small weights in hands). Sometimes I'll try to do a max deadlift or squat immediately after this (which actually isn't very heavy, because I'm worn out), or a set of chin-ups. I often finish with some upside-down situp things (I looped a rope to the rafters, get my feet up there, hang upside-down, and then pull a weight up). I figure all the blood that goes to my head keeps me from going bald.
Sometimes I swing a home-made kettlebell around, which seems to be good for overall shoulder health, in spite of what seems like the violent action of it.

I've not lifted for max(es) in a long while, but about a 10-15 ago here were my maxes (I am 6'8 & was holding about 265-270 around the times I put these up)...

- BP = (raw) 405, (bench shirt) 440 , 225 x 34.

- Squat = 580 (parallel)

- Powerclean = 375

- Military Press = 275

- Deadlift = 600

- In HS, my fastest 40 y/d was 4.71, & vertical leap was 34" (Junior year of HS).

I probably can't touch those #'s these days, but still have some decent strength (weight room & functional). My arms are still 20" (but not cut) & forearms about 17". I'm have a very large frame & good natural strength, but never been "shredded".

 

[Observer]

Dixie, incredible size/speed/strength/height/power numbers. About how old were you when you did those big lifts?

 

[green fire317]

can anyone else here dunk a basketball?

 

[whiteathlete33]

I am 5'9 and can dunk a tennisball. I can't do a basketball though.

I was between 25-27 when I got those maxes, and was training pretty hardcore back then. I ran that 40 y/d in HS & vertical leap in college. I bulked up in college so my 40 went up to 4.9+.I'm no where near any of those #'s now, but am still alot stronger that the average dude. I can still throw up 335-345 on bench, but don't squat or deadlift anymore.

Fyi, I was able to dunk in 7th grade, BUT I was 6'4. I could grab the rim in 6th grade (at 6'1). When I was 20 I could touch the top of the square (above the rim), but I'm 6'8 & had a solid vertical & longer arms. Nowadays, I'm holding 335+, so I can barely dunk.

However, I'm working on cutting weight & hoping to get back down to 255-265 by next spring. I still have decent power/strength, but cruddy cardio & too much BF (probably 19-21%).

Haha me too. I'm 5'9" and can dunk anything but a basketball. I might grow more though. Mainly my hands are too small.

You have some really strong legs.

 

[Steve Patriot]

I lost 50 lbs beforE I built anything.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Bench: 100 lb bells for 24 reps. Leg sled: 18 45lb plates for 20 reps.
Shrugs: 90lb bells for 20 reps. Curls: 40lb bells for 12 reps. I'm trying to loose some fat (currently at 252 lbs), so doing more reps with less weight.

18 x 45lb = 810 lb x 20 reps?!
No wonder your knees hurt.

White noise doing less weight and more reps is not efficient for fatburning. In the morning when you wake up have a glass of orange juice or some carbohydrates and do cardio for half and hour. It always works.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Well I did do 25 minutes on the cycle today. This is something new to me in the cardio department, as I have been bulking for years. Now age, sore back and knees, along with excess adipose tissue around the belly have finally given me the incentive to get down around 225-230 lbs while retaining some muscle. The new diet is completely different from what I had been doing (think power lifting, eating everything.)

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Yes observer those numbers are correct. Just yesterday I placed nine 45lb plates on each side and knocked out 20 reps. This was after having worked my way up from 2 plates, to 4 plates to 6 plates, then 9 for twenty reps. So the total lifting numbers are far greater. No wonder my back is killing me right now. I told my wife that I am never going near that machine again. And this time I mean it!

 

[whiteathlete33]

Whitenoise while cutting down your weight you can actually maintain almost all your muscle.Keep protein in your body at all times. Try to eat a gram per pound of body weight. Also make sure to use whey right after a workout as it is a fast acting protein. Use milk or egg protein throughout the day as it gives you a 7 hour window of protein absorbtion. Don't try to lose more than 2 lbs a week or you will lose muscle mass for sure.1000 calorie a day deficit off maintenance is the correct way to do it.Edited by: whiteathlete33

Whew! So, what do you estimate you could do in a max squat if your back didn't hurt?
As I recall, you're in your mid-40's?

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Well Observer, I don't do squats due to having a disc blow out a long time ago. And now, I do not think I will do anymore leg presses either, cause I'm really hurting.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Whiteathlete, I'm doing several whey shakes throughout the day along with eating various other sources of protein such as: eggs, chicken, tuna.
