So not locked at the knees? How far do you lower the weight? Until it touches the floor or as far as you can?

knees are locked as in you do not change the angle the of the knees during the movement.

The knees are not locked out in full extension.

Lower the weight as far as you can, you should feel a good stretch. if your hamstrings are long enough, you should be able to touch the floor with ease.

If you have short hamstrings/low flexibility only lower as far as you can while maintaining good back position (i.e. neutral back and no hunching/bending)

You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift 180kg. I dont care what your bodyweight is, get bigger, its why your lifting. Bodyweight is not an excuse.

I posted this up on another forum a year ago. The pissweak pencil neck poindexters all pointed out that it was biased against skinny guys. Crap. If your skinny, eat something. At the time Max weighed 60kg and wasnt remotely close to any of those lifts.

One year later he only has the bench to go, he is only a handful of kg's away. That sounds about right. If you train correctly, you should be able to achieve these goals in a year, regardless of bodyweight. Not many on here lighter than Max was, so no complaints.

The record for achieving all these lifts at PTC from complete beginner was Vocy, he did it in under 3 months from never touching a weight, he weighed 100kg. Benny did it in roughly the same, around 10 weeks.

Now, if your a beginner, here is what you need to do, for between 3-12 months.

Squat 3 x 10
Bench press 3 x 8
Bent row 3 x 8
Military press 3 x 8
SLDL 3 x 8
BB curl 3 x 8

Do this 3 times a week. Progressively add weight.

If youve been training for longer than 12 months and cant make ALL those lifts, you've been kidding yourselves, wasting your time on rubbish.

If somebody gave you a pile of ****, and said it was free, would you keep it, simply cause its free? Of course not, you have no use for it.

Just because something is free doesnt mean its useful.
It is a great information here and very useful. I gained a lot of help from this. thanks

Ive done 2 sessions of it so far. I think ill go all the way to 140/100/180 with it. Im basically starting over again from scratch. You can check my training diary on these forums for more info if you want.

If youre going to do it, remember to sleep and eat plenty.

KungFooGoo did it after coming back from a hernia. Did it for 3 months and was 120/87.5/160. l had lifted like a spastic before though so take that '3 months' with a grain of salt.

Just take it slow with the weight progression 1-2kgs is plenty when you start out even with just the bar then when shit gets tough slow down to .5-1kg. Just eat a lot and sleep a lot... both of which l did niether.
