Ya an it's finally improving will be a year next month... I started a log on needtos forum started out squating 135lbs last month lol
ur strong bro!!!

 

[SouthernLord]

Nah. I have above average leg and back strength. My presses suck and I have the worse arm genetics ever.

I'm glad you're getting back into squatting. Take it slow and soon you'll be squatting big weights.

I'm hoping it's my weak link in my deads, and that will improve.... Shit idk who cares lol

 

[ExtraMile]

wow, lots of strong guys in here that were stronger than I thought, saibot and SL suprised me!

hmm some of my PR's are...
close stance deadlifts - 319x1 or 292x4, but I used a belt for the 319
medium stance ATG squat 231x1 or 204x5
medium grip bench 198x3
strict BB military 110x5 or 116x3
incline DB's 66's for 7 reps
deep weighted dips with a 33lb plate for 9 reps
double overhand power shrugs 231x30 no straps

@ a bodyweight of 182-186 and 15 y.o (although i set the squat and deadlift PR's at 174-176)

Lots of strong people on this forum and many more aspiring to be strong. Thats really awesome.

You know, one of my favorite things about this forum is that people are not hung up on egos when it comes to discussing training. I really appreciate how this forum doesn't resort to "I am stronger than you therefore I am right" statements to win over any discussion, debate or argument. It's a refreshing change and I welcome that

I wish I could give some real numbers here. But it has been a LONG time since I have maxed out, and when I was a PLer I trained and competed equipped so those wouldn't be fair numbers either.

But since this is a massive dick measuring contest, I can tell you that I am as wide as I am long, and Mrs. bblazer is not as discouraged when I give her both inches.

But we don't listen to people who don't blindly follow Rippetoe either

Thats fine...it's a phase. Sufficient people need to follow Rippetoe like the mice followed the Pied Piper before they see the light. Plus, guys like you've been training for years - far before fancy (or in this case overtly simple) Rippetoe came around with his "wisdom" and y'all still got very strong..so I'm not too worried about recent trends

ps: I know this is funny but I've seen some of your posts and I know you're especially strong - and given your seniority thats even more impressive.
