I set my PR for deadlift today. Most I had done was 255 twice. Today is did that three times, then 285 once and 300 once. Could have done more but it was time to move on
I would like to find a gym close enough to me to be able and do such things. It seems my best choices are charter fitness and planet fitness without spending big money for a cross fit gym.Three would look pretty cool. I bet I could do it now if I tried since 300 went up well enough. I had both hands facing me instead of one in and one out, I heard a rumor it's easier to lift heavier weights with that other approach so I'll try that next.
Today was an awful squat day. Our gym is doing a month of Olympic lifts and today was snatch and clean. Warmup was a lot of squats and other stuff then the actual workout was 5, 5, 5 back squats, then 2x10 back squats, then an 8-round tabata back squat with 45#.
I did 155# on the back squat 3x5 and 135# on the 2x10. Going to hurt tomorrow
I've never heard of the 1000lb club. I could probably join the 675 club now
All of the crossfit gyms and even the national organization post their workouts online daily. You really don't need a crossfit gym if you can self-motivate and have the stuff available somewhere else
Is that deadlift, backsquat, and what else? Shoulder press or bench press?My goal this year is to make the 1000lb club.
Nice work on the deadlift Doc! I bet you can do 315# with a mixed grip. That's not a huge jump and the grip will make a big difference, especially if you don't have exceptional grip strength.Three would look pretty cool.

I believe it's deadlift, back squat, and bench press. Even with a 355# deadlift, I am depressingly far away from that number.Is that deadlift, backsquat, and what else? Shoulder press or bench press?
I only deadlift with a mixed grip unless I'm doing clean dead lifts, but it's been awhile since I've done those. You can also mix in some lifts with lifting straps. I guess adding up my 1 rep maxes you described puts me in the 1,370 clubNice work on the deadlift Doc! I bet you can do 315# with a mixed grip.

I'm going to be really glad when the weather gets nicer and our gym's Endurance class starts running again. Getting extremely tired of that dang rower....

247lbs 6'2" bodyfat is about 15%. I had to put the weight into perspectiveHow much do you weigh Denny?
Haha at 5'-7" and 155 lbs, I ain't hulking nothing! Congrats on the weight loss sir!I'm not hulking out like you folks. I'm dropping weight. From 232.0 to 196.6 since the beginning of the year to today. Once the biggest loser is over this Friday I'll probably start working on my muscle gain.
I haven't benched in forever, but if I had to guess a total I'd be around the 770-780 range. Current deadlift at 355, 265 back squat, so with a bodyweight bench (155) I'd be at 775.To confirm the 1000 lb club I am referencing is back squat, deadlift, and bench press. I am maybe at 725. Bench is only 225 a.t.m. which is basically my body weight. 275 deadlift is all I have done with decent form. 225 squat is the highest I have worked with so far.
to put in perspective I am roughly 6'2" and around 230 ish lbs.
Trying to keep my stamina along the way as that always seemed to be my strength. lol in high school repped the 45 lb bar on bench press 151 times. man that is tiring.
My problem is purchasing the equipment or making my own to use being my limitation. Also looking into a pedal bike.
