[InLikeFlint]

Age: 18
Weight: ~160lbs

Bench: 195lbs
Squat: 275lbs
Deadlift: 430lbs
Military: 130lbs
Pullups: 15 in a row or 50 in 8 minutes (Wide grip, NOT chin ups, going all the way down and pausing between)

Started 5/3/1 on 10/21/13 and these were my initial spreadsheet numbers:
Bench: 145 x3
Squat: 185 x2
Deadlift: 155 x2
Military: 85 x3
Pullups: 1-2 in a row

5/3/1 can be an amazing program, but you need to properly structure each workout and you need to have a solid carb/protein intake as well as proper rest. Everyone that I have gotten to start it have fallen in love and have had very good strength gains.

EDIT:

Routine: Lift 6 days per week, doing one core lift each day (Military/Bench/Squat/Deadlift) and supplementing those exercises with the same functional groups (ex. Chest exercises on bench day). Add in abs and core stuff every other day and some sort of cardio/conditioning as a warmup and cool down everyday. I superset every exercise so that I am essentially conditioning while lifting my core weights. I regularly test my max on every deload week. Take pre-workout prior to my workout and a peanut butter/water/protein powder/creatine shake immediately after lifting.

Age: 22
Weight: 190

Bench: 275
Deadlift: 405
Squat: Not sure

Deadlift isn't my max and I never go heavier than 225 for reps on squats. My routine is very varied and I never actually follow a program, its something I am always creating or modifying. At the moment, doing alot of calisthenics / bodyweight with some heavy sets to start out each workout. Usually in and out of the gym in 45 minutes - 1 hour lately, and the workouts have been replicating my rugby workouts I had in college.

Maxes (that I've ever tried)

Bench: 155
Squat: 255
Dead: 295

I started lifting when i weighed 115 pounds gimme a break. I also couldn't bench press the BAR when I started, so... there is that. I started a year and a half ago and have taken several breaks, some longer than others. Couple times I have 'lost all my gains' and had to start from scratch, basically, despite being physically larger than I was before.

I've never tried my max as I usually don't have the energy to attempt it.

Since I'm severely underweight, I'm trying to re-establish my routine and diet. I'm doing a modified Greyskull LP workout, with cardio thrown in.

Routine looks like this:

Day 1:
3x5 OHP
3x5 Chinups
3x5 Squats
2 sets of L Sit (max duration)
Jog 2 miles.

Day 2:
3x5 BP
3x5 Rows
1x5 Deadlift
2 sets of L Sit (max duration)
Jog 2 miles.

Day 3:
3x5 OHP
3x5 Chinups
3x5 Squats
2 sets of L Sit (max duration)
Jog 2 miles.

Weekend:
Run 5 miles.

[randomnumber314]

Age: 31
Bench: 335 (last year when I was working out almost every day)
Squat: 425
Deadlift: 415 (I have terrible form so I have to be careful)
Pull Ups!: 22

Routine is basically "don't get bored." Working out is cathartic and the only time of day when I don't have to answer the phone or tell people what to do, or make decisions. My goal is to get sweaty, get pumped, leave feeling ready for the day. This literally means I do whatever lift I feel like that's in that day's range (e.g. pressing day, pulling day, leg day...)

Assuming you already know this, if you are trying to put on weight (fat/muscle w/e your goal is) i would minimize the cardio quite a bit and add some more to your routine
Also if you have a very low body fat that would explain for the energy

This workout has worked for me in the past when I was bulking before so I don't want to mess with it. The energy part is usually because my last set on all my workouts is to failure.

The cardio is something I added this time around because although I bulked pretty well last time (Gained 40 lbs in 6 months..not sure how much was fat and how much was muscle), I was winded too easily when I played basketball during that time. I'm hoping to avoid that this time around with some light cardio. I've taken the calories into account on top of my TDEE and my regular bulk, so hopefully it'll be fine. But if I see it cutting too much into my bulking, I'll definitely cut down on it.

currently @ 150 lbs 5'8 (forever small)

deadlift: 315x3
squat: 275x3
bench: 165x3

Yesterday I had to roll 185 off my chest on the bench. That was fun.

I remember making an old post saying that I was built like a 12 year old asian girl. It was true and I couldn't even bench the bar. I started a year and a half ago and although my progress isn't great for a year and a half (i took multiple long breaks, one break was 4 months long and I almost lost all my strength gains) I'm still proud of the strength I've achieved, especially considering that I started at 115 lbs of pure skinnyfat

My end goal is 160 lbs lean and to focus primarily on getting stronger without getting big. I'm perfectly OK being a small guy in the gym.

Well i guess an update
Bench: 325lbs
Squat: 430lbs
Deadlift: 455x3
Pull Ups!: Not sure at this point

still 17, turn 18 in about a little under 2 weeks

I had a 4 month break from squat and deadlift just started working them again last week (injured knee). Now I injured my back somehow from near spine while doing bench and I need to take break from benching. It happened either from trying 1 rep max or when I stretched my left arm too far towards the ceiling. Something happened in the lat and I guess it didn't support spine properly for bench press. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be a problem for squat and deadlift.

Bench: 240lbs
Squat: 290lbs
Deadlift: 330lbs
chin ups: bw + 90lbs
bw 190lbs age 22

My routine is everyday squats -> chin ups -> overhead press -> deadlift -> traps/grip hold/captain of crush. 3 training days a week, 3 sets per exercise, 3 min rest. I cycle from 8 reps to 4 reps and change it every workout. I start with 8 reps and then add 4% weight next day for 7 rep sets. I've definitely noticed this rep changing working better for me. Gains seem to stall much faster if I stick to 5 reps for weeks at a time.

 

[Smoog]

Bench: 310lbs for 4-6 reps
Squat: I don't squat (hereditary lower back issue)
Deadlift: I don't deadlift (hereditary lower back issue)
Pull Ups!: between 8-10 and then I need a rest.

I'm 27 years old

I loosely follow this routine: https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/how-to-build-50-pounds-of-muscle-in-12-months

Not lifting weights. Doing 100 burpees a day (10 reps x 10 sets) with Australian pullups between sets.

Been doing that five days a week for the last six weeks and feeling great.

 

[mars]

Hell I'll play along. I very rarely go past 225lbs on any exercise. I usually focus on doing pyramid sets with no less than 10 reps for 4 sets and then a drop set.

Weight: 214lbs

Bench - 315lbs
Squat - 375lb
Deadlift - Not happening
Pull-Up - 25 reps
Muscle-Up - 8 reps

 

[Solrac]

Squat: Haven't tested for max but probably somewhere around 400-450
Deadlift: Also haven't tested for max but probably in the 350 range

I'm 19

I think I'm going to be at the lower end here, currently sitting at 0 pull ups. I can do about 5 press ups before resembling a beached whale.

In light of that it's probably best I don't try lifting 300lbs anytime soon.

Pull ups: No idea.

I don't train for strength at all, but it was hard not to test my max's when I train in a power lifting gym
with guys who run the place hold national (Australian) and world records in their respective federations and weight divisions... (Very inspiring)

Great to see a thread like this, keep up the great work guys
