If 225 is the right of passage on the bench press what is it for squats??

[Serious]

My dead topped out @460 a couple years ago but I'm in the process of still working on that.

yeah i remember you dropped a vid...

I can't get the first

I got a funky chest though, feel like I can do more on incline

everybody can...you dont have to go down as far

 

[luckyse7enz]

I've always heard it as

225 Bench
315 Squat
405 Dead

For sets of 10 or a one-rep max? :notsure:

Incline>Flat>Decline as far is difficulty....I'd say most people can do 70-80% of their flat on incline.

deads - this ive improved greatly its around 350 for me considering a year ago it was 180 (had a couple bouts with sciatica)...prolly by sometime in the summer ill get it

Welp, I'm in there.



Won't ever get in this club.

My shoulder feels like its gonna pop out on the bench, so i just quit trying to go heavier. Most I ever put up was 245 on the barbell and 125/arm with dumbbells.

Bench is kind of overrated anyway. I've had a strong bench press for a while when I had miles to go on other muscles. I've put up 400 on the bench once and it was kind of a waste after the initial feeling of

Bench is overrated it doesn't really translate into a whole lot of functional strength.

Speaking of which, why the fukking fukk is 225 bench such a measure of athleticism in the NFL combine. In a professional setting, you wouldn't think there'd be so much ignorance.

I'm at all three these days.

Going above 225 with long ass arms on the bench is tho. I don't find myself in practical situations where i'd need to push much more than 225 so I don't push the issue much beyond being able to push it for a few reps if I HAD to.


the deads were the hardest to get to because it took a long time to trust my knee fully. Picking heavy shyt up and putting it down touches on primal instincts I feel for cats who can't/don't do deads.

What time length did it take you guys to achieve these numbers? I'm only close to bench

 

[k5banga]

only been in the gym going on 2 years right now i'm 189 but i bounce between 189-191. My max on bench is 290, n i must say i'm pretty damn proud of that, dead lift right now is 345 squats i dont do, but i really should though

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

I can do the first two easy, but that deadlift got me like . I can't deadlift for shyt

 

[TYBG]

DL's takes awhile. Funny thing is when I take a week or two off off dl, that shyt goes up
