I weigh 185, my last max from October was 285 bench, 385 squat and 475 deadlift.What are your numbers Phil?
Heaviest front squat to date was 275, but that was 3-4 months ago.

That's an impressive deadlift and squat! Kinda makes your bench fail in comparison. Is it a preference thing or a mobility thing that holds you back on it? I remember that I solely focused on my deads for a while and it ended up making my other numbers drop a little but it only took a little maintenance to get it back.I weigh 185, my last max from October was 285 bench, 385 squat and 475 deadlift.

Wow, those are fantastic numbers dude.

Quick q's for you guys:
General rep range? How many sets do you aim for per lift type?
How do you know when you're ready to add more weight to your lifts? For me if I can hit 8-9 clean and deep lifts/squats then I need to bump up the weight and reset my reps back down to 5-6 per set, until I hit 8-9 reps again. How about you?
Do you drop the weights or lower? I've done both but I don't feel a difference, so I just lower them now out of courtesy to others.
And how about that rush when you're walking in fresh with no soreness and just about to start your first set? Man someone might as well bottle that feeling and sell it on the black market lol...
Wow, my numbers and weight are basically identical to yours.
Where abouts in Salisbury do you train? Used to live in Harnham but currently overseas and due to come back to Salisbury later this year.My program generally has me working up to a max effort single/double/triple (usually with chains/bands) for my main lift and then anywhere from 5 sets of 10-15 to 3 sets of 30 on accessories. Sometimes my coach is pure evil and programs in 200 hamstring curls at the end of a Squat session or 200 banded push downs on a Bench session. I rarely just do straight weight main lifts these days unless we're finding an opener for a competition or if we've reached the end of a peak phase.

My numbers are not so impressive. 286lbs squat, 198lbs bench and 375lbs deadift. 1 Year off training at around 195lbs body weight
Thanks mate, will pop down when I am next backI train in Alpha and Omega performance, it's down in the Church fields estate.
Come in and see Adam. He'll help you push those numbers
Yep, I've been doing it for a few years.
Got up to semi-decent numbers (190-130-202.5 @ 77, kilos) then an injury and overseas work have been keeping me back in the last 3 years - let's see if I can do something better in 2019!
I'm not a pure powerlifter, but I hope a more general powerlifting style strength training/strongman type stuff counts enough here?
I did a mock meet early January to test my numbers for the first time in a while.
Squat: 325lbs
Bench: 240lbs (with a slingshot, I have a fucked left shoulder/scapula)
Farmer's Deadlift: 450lbs
I got 500 about 6 inches off the floor but just didn't have enough gas left in the tank.
I'm running a volume/accumulation/hypertrophy/whatever the fuck you want to call it block right now (and likely will be for a good 6-9 months) so my numbers are nothing impressive (also, MyoReps can fuck right off) but I'm game for it.
Working on some kind of Russian program (from coach Askold Surovetskiy) and I'm getting close to my old numbers, I guess: last week I did a few solid bench singles at 125kg, and squatted 165 kgs x2 x3 sets, so 130 and 180 kgs respectively should be there.
Let's see where my DL is...
