I benched 165lbs my first "untrained" day in a gym and then got pinned under 175 and had to be rescued by three teenage girls that's my self-reported story thanks for reading.

We're self-reporting now? Sweet. How much does a house weigh? Time to go home and PR everything.

I'll admit that as a beginner I wasted a lot of time and effort because I didn't know who to listen to for advice. A trainer would only have helped if I knew a good one from a bad one, and knew that a full-body periodization split was less effective than a simple complex barbell program.

I feel a cold coming on and now I have to decide: lift anyways because i might not be able to later but risk worsening symptoms by straining myself or take it easy hoping for a quicker recovery but risk missing more workouts. goons?

In any case this is in no way shape or form a controlled study, and there's no method to determine the reliability of the results.

so cumdumpster, you lifted 400 after one year. The average is 365 after 3 to 6 months. Seems to me not even you are living up to those standards.

Not that not everyone can reach those numbers, but it took me more than three months. At three months I was still trying to figure out how to not die during squats

Can't remember when I started deadlifting other than it was 11th grade. Also I wasn't training anywhere near correctly because all I had to go on were Powerlifting USA magazines I bought at Borders. And my diet was I would have one MetRx shake a day. Sometimes two! Walked uphill to and from the gym in the snow. Dum Cumpster fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Mar 8, 2017 |

So when I say "I can do X when I squat", am I supposed to say how much I can do a single rep for or how much I can do a few sets for?

If you start out with a decent program, stick with it and don't waste time doing bullshit stuff you should pretty easily hit a 200 kg dl and a 100 kg bench the first year if not you are just pissing around and will never get anywhere even with roids, hell look at the tcc roid thread .... Jesus ... On a lighter note my body dysmorphia is kicking in during this cut and I cry every time I see my own head in proportion to my now smaller frame, it just gets larger and larger.,.. and why am I even cutting without roids gently caress ....wanna shave my skull and wrap a pizza around a fat steak...

Deadlift a measly 200 won't get you that SS centaur look, sorry that you got a weak back or whatever it is that make you think that.

Also how much you "should" be able to lift depends on who you are, BRO a 70kg twink isn't going to be hitting as heavy weights as fast as a 120kg mountainman when they're new in teh gym

70kg is too big for a twink imo. I'd get insecure.

I have been lifting for like 18 months and am nowhere near a 100kg bench OTOH I started on Starting Strength and moved onto Texas Method before starting a more bodybuilding style program, so I did have that FULL CENTAUR look going for a while

just came back from gym to look for all those twinks benching 130kg after three months of training. Didn't see anyone benching 130kg. also didn't see a single women squatting 140kg. Seems my gym sucks. Did a dl PR anyway.
