So i tried again: 1 Rep Max
Squat - 100kg
Bench - 40kg (Haven't tried a max rep)
Deadlift - 100kg
I can do about 5-8 each at about 80% of these. Will try adding a bit more onto the deadlift tonight
Started October 2018, 193cm, 97kg
All of these for 5 reps:
OHP - 20kg
Bench - 30kg
Deads - 40kg
Squats - 30kg
Now, 88kg
OHP - 50kgx3
Bench - 70kgx2
Deads - 132.5kgx3
Squats - 50kgx3
My squats are terrible, I don't know what my problem is. I'm adding in lunges and a stretching routine, hopefully that will help.
I've been maintaining my weight since January, but I'm considering a bulk. I still have a bit of a gut but I don't have enough muscle to warrant a cut. I was thinking of eating at +300-500 calories a day, doing the 531 BBB 3 month challenge, and then reassessing what I want to do from there. Main goal is to beat my friend to a 100kg bench and then rub it in his face for the rest of his life.

Been lifting properly for 6 months now. 188cm, 122kgs
Starting lifts (for 4 reps.. trying out your max 1 rep seems like a great way to injure yourself)
Squat 4x120 deadlift 4x140 bench 4x90
Now up to 4x160 squat, 4x220 deadlift 4x120 bench
Can’t for the life of me figure out why my deadlift is improving so much but everything else is relatively stagnant. Enjoying myself a lot, trying to go from “strong fat dude” to just “strong dude” , taking it fairly conservative as I don’t wanna * my back. Have lost sweet FA weight but oh well

Starting at 90kg bench?

How much prior athletic experience did you have? If you want to lose weight just dial back the calories by 500-1000 under your maintenance, and make sure to keep your protein intake high.

Manual labour work and volunteer fireys will do it. Fairly won the genetic lottery in this regard
If it makes you feel better my tiny penis cancels it out

Funnily(?) enough most experienced lifters will tell you that outside of comps you’re more likely to get injured taking a 2-6RM than a 1RM.
Granted if you take stupid weight selections and do the same exercise multiple times a week/month you might run into issues, but since mid-2013 I would’ve taken 700+ 1RMs in training and only been injured once (and only because I went for a PR and stupidly decided to change my technique).

The other thing is that a 1RM attempt you’ll probably just miss/fail the lift before anything breaks.
Rep PBs you can grind out more, and once you get to the last couple of reps some muscles will have fatigued more than others so the load gets shifted elsewhere.
The one good thing about 5RMs though is that it’s much easier to spot where the lifter is strongest/weakest as by the 5th rep they’ll definitely be moving in a way that maximises their strengths eg if someone’s squat ends up looking a good morning chances are their back is the strongest part of the lift, and their legs the weakest
