No problem. It's just that the way your initial statement was worded made it seem like no-one 160 lbs or less could meet or exceed the 1200 lb mark (which actually is not that spectacular of a total).
Here's a quick rule of thumb we've used for years in competitive powerlifting:
Elite lifters will hit (or come close to) 3 x (or more) their body weight in the squat and deadlift. Some will hit that mark on bench as well. This is world class stuff.
For nationals competition, a lifter should be looking at twice his body weight as a goal for competing.
If you are looking to go elite, one normally looks to gain in increments of 2 x body wt, 2.25 x body wt 2.5 x body wt, etc.
A male in good physical condition should be able to bench his body weight, squat 1.25 his body weight, and deadlift 1.25-1.50 his body weight.
None of this is written in stone, but pretty much a guideline for people training with powerlifting in mind.

Until tonight I hadn't done a deadlift in over 5 years (other than demonstrating technique to clients) I did one rep of 275, then 315, then 365, then 405

I weighed 148 this morning

I haven't done a 1 rep max on bench yet and probably won't because I always like to back off chest exercises during softball season. Here are a couple of sets of my last two chest workouts last Friday and today.

average serious lifterdoesnt mean anything its all about the body weight. A guy who weighs 160 should never be compared to a guy who weighs 240. i personally go about 230 now and would have no problem hitting 1,200but a guy who weighs 160 could be extremely serious but never touch that.

Actually none of his clients are injured and he does a great job of motivating. As a current client if I did everything he said, I would be in the best shape of my life. Where are your videos of your work outs?

Just because he's a trainer and he motivates well doesn't mean he can't have bad form on a particular exercise. I'll give him some credit since he said he hasn't deadlifted in years, but it doesn't take away from it not being what you would ideally want to be doing during that lift. Lifting in terrible shoes for deadlifting could also be why his form is off.

Form definately isn't "terrible". Perfect? Maybe not. It is better than 90% of the donks I see pulling deads at my gym.

I'll agree my technique was off when I went for a one rep max yesterday. I actually thought about not posting it because of my form in the 405 lift.

When I show technique to a client I'm only lifting between 18 lbs (body bar) to 135 lbs, in which case my form is perfect.

If a client's technique is compromised even a little and they are compensating in any way I stop them in any exercise.

Yesterday is a total case of "Do as I say, not as I just did" :eek:

lol guy, motivating isn't anything if you're setting up your clients for injury.

At least you admitted something was wrong. I stay away from heavy dead lifts right now because I need to work on form, and same with squat.

When lifting heavy deadlifts....form is going to slip......its a raw power exercise.

ULTRA MEGA
Bench-best I ever did was 330 twice, but don't lift like that anymore
Squat - never tried
Deadlift- never tried

I was 200lbs then.

I can however do

85 legit push ups/ 80 legit situps with 5 minute rest between each
and run 2 miles in 14mins.

@ 45

wow guys, I expected to see some horrible deadlift. Nothing wrong with that lift. Of course form breaks down, thats why its your max. If I were to start critiquing that DL I'd say, Nice lift, try to get the bar in closer as you start. and thats it. Nice guns bro

You're right. It wasn't terrible. I'm sure I have some rounding at my max.

once again i will defend this same quote, i was not saying that small guys couldnt do it! i was simply saying that a small guy who couldnt do it could still take lifting serious and not achieve that. and also im pretty sure were not talking about competitive powerlifting numbers as this is a softball forum
