Lifting
This table lists my current personal records for various lifts, including the big 3 (barbell bench, squat, and deadlift). Unless I specify otherwise, these are all 1-rep-max attempts.
You can check out my YouTube channel for some videos of these lifts.
| Barbell Bench Press | 125 Kg |
|---|---|
| Barbell Squat | 170 Kg |
| Barbell Deadlift (Conventional) | 212.5 Kg |
| Barbell Overhead Press | 90 Kg |
| Dumbbell Bench Press | 50 Kg |
| EZ-Bar Strict Curl | 45 Kg |
Currently, I'm following a simple powerlifting "5x5" training plan for each of the big 3 lifts. This means that each time I perform one of those lifts, I do 5 working sets with a weight that's just heavy enough for me to do 5 reps with. Once I can successfully do a 5x5 with a certain weight twice in a row, I increment the weight slightly.
