Yeah...I know...it doesnt matter. Spare me niggas.lol :p
Its just talkin trivia...wat the hell hehe. The reason I'm even asking this, is coz at the gym tonight I was talkin' to my boy...dudes 37, 5'10 and 180. AND hes natty...I know that for sure. I witnessed him flat bench 345 for 4. He just did a bench contest(raw) 2 weeks ago and hit 370 with a pause. Now thats no world record, but thats one stong mofo for 180 and natty. Not to mention hes not even a powerlifter...he just gave the contest a shot for the helluva it to see what he could do.

Me, I will be the first to tell ya I'm one weak mofo for my size.lol :p My best raw bench ever was like 435...that was YEARS ago when I could do flats with no shoulder pain. I was natty and weighed about 240 then...pffftt...that aint shit for a dude 240.lol

Now I weigh 275...heres some of the weights I use regularly (the lower rep # is on a bad day, the higher rep # on a good day):

incline bb press - 315 x 7-9
flat db press - 140's x 6-8
seated bb press behind neck - 255 x 5-7
seated db press - 120's x 5-7
standing alternate db curl - 70's x 6-8
skull crushers with ez-bar(20 lb bar) - 180 x 6-8
leg press - 28 plates(about 1300 lbs) x 8-10
barbell rows - 315 x 6-8
deadlift - 495 x 4-5

One of the movements I do kick ass on is skullcrushers...I dont see many guys using a 45, 25 and 10 on each side. But outside of that, for my size I am rather weak as you can see. Several guys at the gym use much more than me on those lifts and they weigh only 220-230. So post up niggas! :p Are you the small, cut very strong type of guy like my boy...or are you the bigdawg in da house, but weak as shit?lol :p Post some lifts to make your point.
 
i can do all that im 5'9 205

Propz! :igok: How about elaborating a little bro. Spit out a few exercises/weights, etc you use in you workouts . Also, do you consider that to put you in the strong for your size category...I mean like at your gym per se? IMO thats strong for your size! :)
 
i'm weak as shit!! sorry if i dissapoint you for posting here LOL

some numbers i can attest for

flat db press 90lbs- 10reps
incline db press 75lbs- 10reps
bb military press 205lbs- 10reps
squats and deads- lift for reps
i can do 3 sets of 10 pullups, lol

weighed in recently at 213lbs at 5'11
 
flat db press - 140's x 6-8.... I like it. Pretty strong stuff.

Bro, this thread isnt about being strong...as for my size I also am NOT strong. I created this thread merely for a little fun and for anyone to post up if they are strong or weak for their size. No biggy. I see not many are replying...I might just delete this thread soon as not many seem intersted in jumping on board.lol :p
 
I am strong for my size I guess - thats what everyone in the gym says anyway - plus my age - they dont think a 45 year old guy should be as strong as I am - I tell them to stick with it and they will be strong one day too
 
I would say about average

weight 204
incline 315 x 2-4
flat 375 x 3
 
Damn dude u go heavy behind the neck ur asking for a serious injury.

nah peeps are too busy lookin for work! I honestly think all these warriors are runaway bulls judging by the numbers lol also, my bb mp is 125, i accidentally added 80 lbs to the ONLY 80lbs i add to the bar... geez, i really need to figure out how to gain some strength as it comes at a snail's pace here

no doubt for 5'11 (i originally thought i was 6'0 until getting serious w the anthropometrics) 215lbs, 12/13% body fat i am weak... i just hope i will be able to maintain my current size and build from here

Thumbs up way up to all you bros!

- I tell them to stick with it and they will be strong one day too

word, i will try to remember this
 
I would say for my size and structure Ive always been above average strength. Ive lost alot of weight the last two years lol, so heres my peak weights @ 195 lbs. 6ft tall

flat bb bench: 345 for 2-3
db bench: 120 8-10
incline bb bench: 315 for 2
front bb military: 275 for 5
front squats: 315 for 8
squats: 455 for 6-8?
deads: 405 for 3

Probly never reach some of those weights again.. oh well

Been doing them for as many years as you are old jr hehe. ;) PBN and skull crushers...too known joint killa's...I been lucky I guess. However, I am VERY careful with proper warmups, slowly pyramidding up and stretching...I'm sure thats helped alot.
 
Weak ............. my best exercise is squats .......... 235lbs for 10 reps.
The rest I wont post lol
 
Id say Im about avg, but my legs are pretty good. At my best I was weighing 196 and squated 435x3 going deep. but my flat was 315x2. I got a weak ass chest. Military i got 215x6

Militaries work no doubt, never tried behind the neck though too heavy. Like I was telling you, its funny they never give me any probs. Only injury Ive ever had was from incline bench of all things :(. I admit Im weak as hell on skullcrushers. I just never can get the right feel on those, guess its just the way Im built. Its almost all shoulders for me lol.
