I'm just under 170lbs, and
Bench - 107 (from the 1RM calculator - just started doing flat bench again this month, so this will go up)
Dead - 225kg (actual lift)
Squat - 130kg (from the 1RM calc - again numbers are going up currently as i've not squatted much in the last year)
Twaddle. Your Squat is way better than that. Bench - 107 (from the 1RM calculator - just started doing flat bench again this month, so this will go up)
Dead - 225kg (actual lift)
Squat - 130kg (from the 1RM calc - again numbers are going up currently as i've not squatted much in the last year)
I'm working my way back up on a basic 5x5, alternating with 10x10 GVT and adding 5kg each session until i stall. Currently at 90kg 10x10 and 110kg 5x5.
I think i will hit the wall at about 100kg 10x10 and 125kg 5x5

Not sure what any of my max lifts are at the moment, BW is down to 210lbs/96kg- If I was to guess I'd say Squat 245 (from 270), dead 260 (from 285), bench 145 (from 157.5)- a fair bit down from my best, but I'm dieting and strength isn't the #1 aim with training just now.
650 to beat. 
5k hill session on the treadmill, followed by squats 5x4@130kg with 60 sec rest.
Was far tougher than I thought it would be, and my legs were so stiff it wasn't until the 5th set that if felt easy-ish.
Must be an age thing, as the heavy (relative to me) sets seem effings heavy and the lighter days don't feel much different

75kg BW
150kg DL
115kg Squat
65kg bench
All actual. My calculated lifts are a bit more but I've not tried maxing out recently. Is it weird that my bench is so pants compared to everything else?
Depends on biomechanics mostly, i've always struggled with lots of pushing movements as i have really long arms/legs150kg DL

Wednesday
Workout 2
Overhead press = 3 x 5
Push Press = 3 x 3
Deadlift = 1 x 5
Pull-Ups = 4/5/4/4
I had been capping my deadlifts at 200, but with this talk of 1RM I had a go at a set over my workset.
did 210 and left it at that, my forearms are all ripped up from sloppy power-cleans on Monday, and my grip was fading at 160.
Depending how f
ked I am on Saturday, I may see what actual number I get in the hour (1 hour allowed for the total). My legs are pretty tired this week and I didn't run yesterday, they were so concretey.

Yeah i havent pulled more than 200 for 6 months now, might do the same thing (on monday) and see if i can still do 210/220 or more. If 1RM calculators are to be believe for deadlifts, i should be good for 240!Workout 2

I'm capping cleans till I can reacquire get the technique. Will have to start doing them in front of a mirror.
I wanna keep stacking weight on squats and press as much as I can, I add 2.5kg per workout. I'd like to get to at least 160+ on worksets for squat.

Chins
Pull downs
Rack pulls
DB Rows
Reverse cable crossovers
Cable pull overs
Ab rolls
Hardest thing was the DB rows- 2 sets of 20 with 60kg DB's, but no straps allowed- horrible.... Strength seems to be coming back from some reason, think i'm finally adapting to the mental work load!

That's not a strong press either which may suggest it's more a tricep issue than pecs/chesticles?
You can be certain that if you don't work on it, it won't get any better.
Keep at it - it'll come eventually.
I think probably it's both! At least it means I've got plenty of progress to make!You can be certain that if you don't work on it, it won't get any better.

any recommendations on a workout for general weightloss/getting fit. Decided now that im 28 I could do with getting thin again, I would say fit again but I've never really gone out of my way to exercise before. Doing this along with generally eating quite a lot less st!
3 half weeks in to it so far (which is quite an achievement for myself compared to my efforts in the past) and feeling a bit better just not quite sure if I'm going in the right direction. Have a treadmill, rowing machine and some Dumbbells at home.
built up to 3 miles on the treadmill, a mile on the rowing machine, some exercises with the Dumbbells and some sit-ups etc 5 nights a week which has certainly been getting the heart going!
