That's not even heavy! = No fun ;P

When i'm not repping I usually go for 80-85% of my 1RM.

Anyone else share this with me? I mostly train 5x5. And yes, I'am completley exhausted after workout xD
 
Everyone has different fiber distribution. Personally I train in the higher weight range too, but everyone is different.


Nice lifts for 170. I saw your sig before you changed it, I'm assuming the 619 deadlift was a conversion error. You had me scared there for a second ;)
 
Haha yeah, it's pretty late here like 1:30 Am, so i'm tierd as hell =P Only reason im still up is because it's weekend =D If i didn't give myself some lazy time i wouln'd never cope with life hehe =D


<edit> I'd like to add those are my personal records, the weight is my summer weight aka my "looking-good-on-the-beach-weight", ripped in other words. Otherwise i'm like 7-8 lbs heavier. Not that it makes a huge difference but still.

I lift soley for fun, I don't compete and never inted to do.
Besides, I hate loosing so. There's a guy here in swe about 12 miles from where I live, who's in the 67,5kg weightclass (~150lbs) who lifts 1582 lbs total. Sick! his name is Amit Selberg.

if your bench was 400+ you might train at 65%...

it depends on the person (like Insane said) and the situation.

ps
those are sick #'s for a 6' tall human being who only weighs 170
 
Heh thx =) It warms my heart =D Well considering Amit lifts more than me in everything but the deadlift and is 20lbs lighter than me.. If i'am sick what's he then?

Only pic I could find of Amit lifting: http://falklands.globat.com/~styrkeloft.org/galleri/filer/2005/nordisk05/Amit Selberg 270 kg_1.JPG

It's 595(!) pounds on that mans shoulders! I'm in awe!

Here's another pic. I'm not sure what those yellow ones weigh, but the red ones+bar is 120kg i'm guessing the yellow ones is 15kg's + them others.. I'd guess around 160kg (~350lbs). I have no idea how much He weighs on this pic.

hes got 363 on the bar in the bench pic. hes using a bench shirt too so its not a raw lift
 
We'll all my lifts are raw. Never even tried shirt =/ Maybe i'm better than him ^^
Only thing I use is belt.
 
good loard your avatar thats one monster...anyways nice lifts man....I do 65% on occasion just for something different....maybe say lots of warmups...
 
Yeah he's kinda big xD!
Thx =) Yeah, I'am not saying I soley do 5x5 (wich prolly wont work in the long run).
But I really don't check if it's 65% or 70 or 55% I put on the bar. I suck at mathematics so.
 
Not enouginfo here. If youre starting a new traning cycle 65 percenty may not be a bad idea to alow a deload in your traning and have room to move up.
