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.
Now that I have my squat rack I can start this program at home. I'll start a journal and see how I go. I have 6 months before I night classes again so hopefully I will see some good rsults in that time.
2 Things I will change just to get everyone ecited is to do chins and pullups instead of curls as I feel curls are simply and excuse to flog off.
One question however. When should I test my 1rm? Is it a good idea to try monthly, ever 3 or 6 months or every year? Obviously I would do this to see how close to my goal of 100 bench, 140 squat and 180 deads I am getting.
Thanks for the help on this forum. It has opened my mind to training and I thank everyone for that. Also a thankyou to Adrian for the power rack.
