good job winnymax

today i deadlifted 405x9 then 405x12

[CubanChick]

Today I am a proud chica;
I hit 30pd dumbbells curls last night in my workout. I only got in 3 reps for each arm, but that was good for me.

[Vic]

Gave the squat and the deadlift a shot this week after my first two month cycle on the Westside program. Was able to get 415 up on the deadlift, which was great, as I was only really hoping for 405. Tried the squat today, and got 315 for one solid rep, which was a new PR for me. I gave 335 a shot, but pretty much collapsed under the weight, and heard a big crack out of my right knee. It doesn't feel so hot right now, but I don't think it's anything serious. I'll try benching again thursday.

I finally made progress. I haven't done a true max, but I do add on weight with each set. My bench right now is 435 x 3(Smith machine, which I'm thinking on a free weight bench would be 405). My squat is still at 455 x 5 and my deadlift is at a pathetic 315 x 8. I can't seem to improve much there for some reason. My back hurting like hell has a lot to do with it though, so much so that I can barely walk afterwards. I think my form my be off. I envy you guys who are pulling 400+ lbs on the dl.

Throw up a vid so we can see what youre doing wrong.

[Spankybear]

Thanks, I'll try to get a vid of myself asap. Hopefully I can get someone to record it for me. It's either my form or I'm just trying to lift too much too soon. Still not used to doing them. But yeah, the dl's and stiff legged dl's kill me to the point where I have to stop afterwards and struggle to my car.

Holy crap! I just noticed your lifts. WOW! That is absolutely sickening. I'm disgusted.

[Keyhole]

Finally went for a 1rm on the deadlift...

1x295 Next week I'll shoot for over 300. This was after 4 good sets also.

[Noir]

Got 315x3 on squat.I know I went low enough to cause I split my shorts on the first rep lol. What made me most happy about this is that I was hoping to get 275x3.

[Spankybear]

LOL...I heard a rip while doing squats yesterday, but I didn't check to see if I split my shorts.

[skullmurdoc]

Boy oh boy I got a long way to go to reach you guys. You're all very strong. I never tried my Max but with some charts to calculate max heres the estimate.

Bench: 242.95
DeadLift:332
Squat:289

[Spankybear]

Guys,
What are you using to record your workouts? I was wondering if I could use my phone, but don't know how the uploads would turn out. Don't have any other devices, so was wondering...

[VBigNate]

digital camera???

Screw the estimate things they are bad lol. They are usually way to low IMO.

How do you guesstimate the weight you can try then? I mean lets say I want to see how I can fare on deadlift for 1 rep. Where do I begin?

[RoyceDa59]

Not exactly one of the big the three but I recently did dips (parallel bars) with 40 kilos (88lbs) attached to me for 5 reps.

[CubanChick]
