Man this reminds of another forum where apparently if you're not a world class lifter you were shit. This guy was 110kg and squatted 140kg and deadlifted 200kg btw. Dunno what he benched.
He was carrying on about how Donnie Shankle was weak because people in the olympics two weight classes down C+J more than him and he was shit lol. The guy high bar squats 300kg weighing 105 lol. His C+J is something like 220kg
My bench has been trained for equipped, so basicaly all technique work.
Squat 1.5kg off after my worst trainin cylce, deadlift is 8kgs off keeping in mind that those numbers were from last year.
lol @ a 136kg bench being the bare minimum that should be achievable after 12 months of training. What are you on...
I might just scratch that after 14 months training (in 4 months time) at 100kg bodyweight, touch and go. I guess I could have trained more efficiently, maybe........
At what point have i talked shit?
Sorry for giving my opinion
180/130/225 isnt strong if you weight over say 80kg, PA aus open 83s records are sitting at 250/178/285
So hitting 180/135/225 at 83 doest make you automatically strong.
And with everyone going on about me going straight to the top for standards, you dont go into a comp going 'oh i hope i dont place' no you go in there aiming to hit pbs, an naturally your end goal will be the records

I never said that those numbers are a bare minimum, i said these goals are generally a bare minimum, like markos' 140/100/180 regardless of bodyweight, you hitting those numbers doesnt mean your strong, it means your on the right track
It's not a bare minimum, only generally
...
Sorry Callan that training for an equipped bench is the reason you're 20kg off hitting that benchmark.
Training "efficiently" is stupid anyway. Who trains "efficiently"? Sounds like some Mark Rippetoe shit. You pretty much have to train harder exponentially the stronger you get, no one gives a fuck about being efficient lol.
>Yep, got that 5kg gain on squat and I only trained once in 2 weeks. Could have made 10kg if I had trained every day but that's just not efficient
Only if you sacrifice getting stronger for more weight on the bar
The number of people you see on YouTube that look like dogshit, bench less than 140kg raw yet put up +300kg equipped is incredible

I agree. Powerlifting has only recently become popular again with the introduction of raw lifting. I've have minimal to zero interest in equipped powerlifting.
Different ballgame, almost an art. The weight doesnt lift itself. You still need to be in control, precise technique is needed to use equipment properly.
