My strength and body weight are heading in the right direction since getting cut on.

I would have zero idea what a 5 rep would look like right now. Will add to the thread once my feet are grounded.

Deadlift: 545

The Monday following my show i maxed all 3 lifts to get percentages for my powerlifting program.
Only got 475 on dl that day. 2 weeks later got 545 . But hadnt maxed bench or squat in same day.

Bench 225
Squat 275
Deadlift 365
OHP 155

My bench is down due to an issue with my left arm and my squat/deadlift are down due to a broken toe. Prior to breaking my toe, I could rep out 5 on squat with 315 and deadlift with 405. I don't really get discouraged when I take a few steps back as I am about to turn 47 and I am stronger than most people that I work with who are close to my age and claim to work out.

EDIT: I was shocked at how many people who claim to work out told me they could bench press 225, then when I go to the gym with them, they are using a freaking Smith machine to bench with... Sorry, but 4 total plates on a Smith does NOT mean you can bench 225. Don't believe me? Follow me over to a bench.

Ok. So this thread motivated me to try to bench again. Bare in mind that I havent tried barbell bench(outside of the smith machine) in at least a year so I was shaky and my form sucked but I benched 315 for 3 sets of 8 on the incline last night after about 6 warm up sets so I didn't rip whats left of my rotator cuff off lol. Definitely a big difference from using the smith machine to stabilize. Don't see myself doing it again. My shoulder is already hurting this morning.

I might try to deadlift this week but squats outside of the smith machine isnt going to happen.

Well im not exactly sure, but guessing id feel confident that it would be about here on the safe side.
Bench: 275
Squat: 300
Deadlift : 415 (just got 6 with trap bar)

But i completely threw out flat bench out of my program for incline.
Standard Skewatz are on hold right now till after cycle.

ive been out of it for over a year and a half so my numbers are low low low. I am slowly building a home gym in my garage which I will half ass hit the weights here and there. I need to get back into it but I have been trying to go a different career path so things are wrapping up and I should be back at it soon.

Retired!

Turned Professional Bowler (Senior)

Yoga

Boxing Training and I don't mean those weak ass classes I was training with a World Class fighter pre injury, he won by knockout 3rd round on Bellator just a couple months back. I won't give his name out!

I will return to train with him when I can but for now cardio and boxing training in my garage will do.

Since the bicep tear i dont go dicking with heavy lifts but do way more volume type lifting. That being said, current numbers are
bench- 355 5-8 reps
squat-405 i can hit a full set of 10 here but i stay at 405
dead- 405 same as squats, full set of 10

Since I am old, I don't do any 5 rep stuff anymore. I would pull an ovary.

Right now everything is 10-12 reps

Bench 335
Last time I squatted was 405 but its been a while, now its leg press - 16 plates 12-15 reps
Dead.... ugh No thanks. My head swells up just bending over to tie my shoes. lol

Bench - 255? Im doing 225x10 lately so guesing 255x5 would be close
Squat - 325
DL - 375 but lately been doing 315x10

Really want to start incline benching more but idk why that shit hurts my left shoulder bad, still trying to play with the grip to see if it can get more comfortable. Its a hammer strength incline and bench seems too far forward so the lift off is what hurts the most
