What are your guys' lifts currently at?

[initialize]

Mostly S/B/D, but feel free to throw in any impressive numbers on some other lift if you think it's worth mentioning.


Didn't want to post this in the training subsection as it doesn't get much traffic

Definitely not the right section, but I recently benched double my bodyweight - 380 at 189 pounds. Not bad for a 46 year old vegan. Working my way and to 405.

Lifetime PR was 455 like 10 years ago but I was much fatter then (250) so not double my bodyweight.

I don't squat or deadlift anymore due to an extruded disc.

 

[bananafeet]

Over head press 100kg for a double
110kg triples pendlay rows (bit of body english)
100kg no thumb wide grip pendlays
90kg power clean
120kg bench for a double

Haven't squatted heavy for a long time or deadlifted. But I got up to 145kg squat and 160kg deadlift. My lower back is pretty weak and I have this weird hip shift in the bottom of a squat so I stopped doing them.

Mirror image man. 405 at 39yoa. I stopped caring right that moment.

I use to squat also and deadlift but due to similar issues it's not worth it. Compressed nerve at the C4-C6. Nerve radiates through the brachial plexus. Hindering my bench now, so lots of machine/cable work.

Similar situation to all you gents lol -- I don't squat anymore and will occasionally do Romanian deadlifts.

Bench is nearly 360 lbs, not sure what incline is but I did 275x6 a few days ago

Yeah my disc extruded so bad that I couldn't do a single bodyweight 1 legged calf raise with my left leg. My left calf and hamstring lost nearly all strength. It took 2 months of PT and training before I could even do 1, and now 6 months later it's at 80-90% strength. But the tear is of course still there so if I were to squat or deadlift again, it would likely reinjure. I avoided surgery so I'm not pressing my luck. Hell I don't even do shrugs anymore because of the stress it puts on my lower back to hold all that weight.

The lower back injuries seem to be more debilitating (load bearing). In my cervical it's actually decent from time to time if I do a well focused back routine with deep stretch contractions. Dr gave me a cervical decompression device, and PT also for about 6 weeks. I'm my own worse enemy with keeping up in the exercises.

The cervical really only acts up with pressing exercises and stretching the brachial plexus. I've shortened range of motion to compensate and it's def helping.

Honestly with leg press and others taking direct impact off the spine, I don't see why to risk squatting.

Not bad at all. Still, can we ban him for being a 46-year-old vegan? Forum rules have to mean something.

 

[shredded.lyfe]

115kg bench, 175kg squat, 240kg conv. deadlift at 90kg bw

 

[bananafeet]

115kg bench, 175kg squat, 240kg conv. deadlift at 90kg bw

Awesome numbers bro.

 

[lukiss96]

Bench press:
Best 440lbs (200kg)
Recent 400lbs (last year)
Now as of 2026 I'm confident that any day I can come to the gym and bench at least ~375. I end my work out with 330 or 350 for 4-5 reps without a spotter so not to a failure.

Squat:
Best 550lbs (250kg)
I don't do it anymore due to back issues and physical/delivery/driving over 200 miles per day, working 12 hrs (self employed).

Deadlift:
500lbs (230kg)
I don't do it anymore, pretty much same as above...

Shoulder press:
Best 265 pounds (120kg)
Currently I can still overhead press my own body weight 231lbs (105kg) once or twice

 

[shredded.lyfe]

Awesome numbers bro.

Thanks brutha they're all powerlifting standards, paused bench, full depth squat in sleeves and hook grip deadlift

My squat is quite far behind my deadlift due to abit of quad tendinopathy I've been working through since September but I'm confident that number will move quickly when im on the other side of it.

I primarily do strongman, powerlifting has just been a little side quest for me for now, my strongman lifts are:
100kg log press
160kg atlas stone 1.2m
380kg Yoke for 10 meters no drops
145kg per hand farmers carry for 10m

Various other things I can't think of right now, all strongman was natty, powerlifting is currently enhanced.

 

[TestMonkey]

Best lifts are currently SQ 340 kg / 750 lbs, BP 200 kg / 441 lbs and DL 335 kg / 739 lbs at 110 kg / 242 lbs. But I compete in PL so it's the main goal of my training.

 

[thejumpingsheep]

Late 40s, 190ish lb light build. Certainly not a body builder. More basketball shape. Maxing is something I am no longer willing to even attempt. I fucking get ankle injuries just walking around shooting hoops by myself...

Still rehabing my 3 shoulder tears.

Bench 275 for sets of 8

I wouldnt dare to max. Natty me back in my 30s used to get 345 for sets of 8 and military press around 245 for sets. Seriously doubt Ill get there again even with PEDs. Not sure I want to.

Cannot hold squat bar without shoulder pain (yet) but I do machine leg press around 1100-1200lb for sets of 8. No idea what that translates to for squats. Probably weak sauce.

Deadlifts are crap at about 325 for sets of 8. I dont dare go much higher since I can feel something funny happening in my right hip.

The funniest part about me is I dont look strong. People look at me funny at the gym when I push around the weights. They may not be huge numbers but it looks funny with my frame I think.

 

[BabaJagga]

i recently hit 140kg on barbell rows for few reps and was happy about it.
130kg for set
120kg for set without straps with thumbs next to other fingers

These past 2 years I’m enhanced I never really pushed strength, as a natty my best were 395 bench, 525 squat and 605 deadlift.

Those last 2 years I haven’t benched at all due to messed up shoulders (doing mostly incline on smith with 3 plates) and squat I’m doing only variations like pendulum and hack.

Deadlifts I kept them but only SLDL so I won’t need to put much weight on. Recently like a month before I had 3-4 leg sessions with conventional deadlifts and it was quite fun. Here is the latest where I had 260kg (kg plates) for 3 with another 2 probably in the tank. I love deads. Next off season I’d like to reach 300kg for a couple reps.

Only if you can also bench double your bodyweight at my age

 

[juiceddawg]

I don't powerlift anymore but my numbers when I did were a 750lb squat 535 bench & 630lb deadlift @ 243.7lb bodyweight

Even though you're a bodybuilder I approve of your form, you deadlift better than most powerlifters and strongman I've seen, good work man

Thanks man, I’m kinda form nerd. I’ve done some pl training for 1 year back in Corona years but generally I wouldn’t lift anything if it doesn’t look aesthetic. That’s a reason I wouldn’t go to failure on SBD because I’d hate my life if my form breaks haha. Definitely not a valid pl approach but that’s how I like to do things. Cheers!
