Squat 220kg, Deadlift 235kg, Bench 162.5 (160kg paused bench). = 617.5 / 615 kg. So about 1350lb all @99kg
Want to be getting towards a 660kg total for next summer though

In now 250kg squat, 140kg bench, 240kg Dead- 630kg (up from 612.5kg)
Bench will be up soon, deadlift too if it doesn't hurt.
How's everyone doing?Bench will be up soon, deadlift too if it doesn't hurt.
Pretty sure i've got 200 in the bank for a deadlift (managed 2 reps at 190 after a fairly heavy few sets prior at 140 and 170.
Squat not sure
I normally rep at 60kgs 5 sets of 10. Today I did 3 sets of 10 at 60, 1 set of 8 at 80 and 1 set of 6 at 100.
I know I can do 110. There' might be 120 available.
85kg bench is max. NO CHANCE.
I'm so weeeeeaaaak.

Update
190kg deadlift
110kg squat
85kg bench
I did have Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan off (work)
Finding 70kgs ain't easy.
Again, some serious increases there dude. Especially in less than five months. 190kg deadlift
110kg squat
85kg bench

When you consider so many at most gyms keep lifting the same old weights and reps, effectively getting nowhere, this progress is impressive.

Your bench has gone up. You do it regularly now?
And 300 for deadlift? That's decent.
300 for squat, 285 for deadlift. Going to try powerlifting for a while- so I expect bench to go up now i'm going to be training it weekly, I'll maybe even develop some pec strength! Deadlift is a slow mover for me, squat seems to be endless progress (though I do train it much harder)And 300 for deadlift? That's decent.
(Edit- In fact, wraps off, squat will be about 280/285kg.)

What programs do you now use for all three?(Edit- In fact, wraps off, squat will be about 280/285kg.)
It's your tricep strength that gives you a good bench?
I'm gonna start lifting again. Never be what I used to be but threads like this make me envious.

Have to say - don't knock it. When you consider so many at most gyms keep lifting the same old weights and reps, effectively getting nowhere, this progress is impressive.
I'm not making progress deliberately now. For years i've bought into the must-add-weight, must-do-more-reps, or whatever mantra... but in my frail old dotage and having had 2 serious injuries in the last 2 years (the only 2 serious injuries i've ever had) i'm now a fully paid up member of the "lifting the same old weights and reps, effectively getting nowhere" brigade. This to me is preferable to having injury number 3, and being unable to train for weeks/months/forever. I train because i love it.

Run my own program for all 3, seems to work well for me- a pretty simple which I've been doing for about a year now. And yup, I'm all tricep for benching, close grip is markedly better than wide, which I'm trying to even out a bit.It's your tricep strength that gives you a good bench?
