Hit 3pl8 squat today. Then tried 320 and got it, happy as shit.

>>40621902
what's your dl and bench at now? For me the squat is the only thing lacking for 1/2/3/4, had some hip problems. 1rm should now be 130kg, but haven't tried going heavy yet.

>TFW use to be 1/2/3/4 masterrace

>tfw back injury has kept me at 1+/2.5/1.5/0 for over a year

Dl at 385, I feel like i might be able to get 4 pl8 with a ton of caffeine.

Bench at 215 I don't know if i could get 2 pl8 even with caffeine.

Ohp, while unrelated, is at 180. hahahahhahahaa oh god why is my chest so weak

>>40621902
>having your OHP be the first to reach the goal
Impressive

>>40621989
Just go for it bro, you can do it

>>40621989
>chest
Train your back like you would chest, brah.

Thanks, I've had a 1pl8 press since last april to be honest. I was a butterfly swimmer in high school, so my delts had quite a head start.

>>40622048
Trust me, back is probably my strongest muscle group behind shoulders. I hit it pretty much every day in some way

>>40621902
Grats
How long did it take you?
I'm 1.5 years in and only 0.74/0.6/0.65/0.77. Pathetic BP and squats, I know.

Hope you don't mind me hijacking a bit here OP

Anyone else change their squat form to deeper squat and drop back a shit load of weight?

Come back when youre 2/3/4/5

About a little over year from taking legs seriously, started doing squats last winter break.

I've found, personally, that I had the most leg gains when I had 2 leg days, the first heavy deads volume front squats, the other heavy front squats volume stiff leg deads

Only recently switched back to back squats, so I'm still kind of getting used to them

>>40622068
It could be something simple in your form. One little tip from a strength trainer could increase your bench instantly. Or watch more youtube videos and study the fuck out of them.

Massive bench = perfect form + strong back + shoulders

I'm at 1/2/2/2.5
Squat rack is always full at my gym and there's no extra bars for deadlifts so I only do them when I'm there at off hours and not often enough to move up weight.

>with a ton of caffeine

Is this a new meme? Every time I overdo caffeine my lifts suffer.

>>40621902
1/2/3/4 is for reps no a single rep.

>>40622277
Bruh i aint no fish dont bait me like that

anyway, thats dumb. That means that someone who practices mostly doubles on main lifts will hit 1/2/3/4 with lower 1rms than someone who does sets of 8s

>>40622096
well obviously

which one is the hardest to achieve?

My stats are 120/155/240/250

don't know why my bench and dl are so bad but it looks like my closest is ohp

>>40621989
Get smelling salts instead

>>40622515
Bench and deadlift. But bench more so than deadlift

>>40622055
Respect for that, I was breast/free but couldn't do butterfly to save my life

>>40621989
Tuck your scaps on bench bro

How do you guys estimate your 1 rep maxes? I only do sets of five but I'm at (for five reps each) 115/180/245/275 in lbs of course.

>OHP was my first reached goal even though I'm a lanklet
>tfw due to dirty bulking and having to cut for 4 months after, which I'm still doing, I'm still not at 2/3/4
>tfw fell for dirty bulk meme

>tfw 0.5/1.5/2.5/3.5

>was supposed to do 150x3 on OHP today
>did it for 5
gonna try a 175 max next week bois

>>40621902
did 315 x 2 today at 159 bw

>feelsgoodbrehs.exe

For the past 6 months all my lifts have improved. EXCEPT MY DEADLIFT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>300 bench
>365 squat
>440 dead
Also on an unrelated note my bench shot up like mad. Squat and dead have gone up ~30lbs but my bench has gone up 50lbs. All I want is my squat to reach 4 pl8.
Gonna start canditos 6wk program tomorrow, hope it helps.

>>40622840
Great program for squats. Ok for deadlifts and shit for bench.

>>40622698
For me, I have to do them. My estimated bench 1rm is 245, but my real 1rm is 215

>>40623005
how did you calculate that?

>>40623005
Wtf
I use http://ivannikolov.com/calculators/rep-max-calculator/
And it's actually very accurate.

>>40623106
>>40623035

180 x10 gives 240- 245 in every online calculator I've tried

>>40621902

>>40623237
But do you hit depthe
>there better be a shit streak on the ground below you if you are gonna count 4 pl8
