A couple more weight-lifting questions.

Calm down man.

You'd be suprised how many guys come on this forum with hugely inflated numbers. Like the guy who weighed 150lbs n claimed he could bicep curl 100kg. Apart from it being stupid what's the point? :rofl

What are your numbers and stats?

 

Please explain why. I've been doing deadlifts and squats for 8 years and never had an injury...

 

It was a contest at the military base overseas, and while I've done more on seperate occasions, this is the only time I've done the three lifts in succession.

DL 445

Sq 375

Bench 250

For a total of 1070

The only one I was disapointed with was the squat. I feel I could have put up 20 more lbs, but I was hesitant because it was my first lift.

I weighed in at 161.

 

What's crazy though is this. I know a guy who had similiar numbers to me, to be honest, probably bigger numbers, and he didn't appear to weigh too much more than I did, yet when he hit the bag, his punches were not hard at all.

 

because how much you lift isn't the direct link to your punching power. Bench Press is basically useless in that transfer. You can at least make a case for the deadlift and squat increasing your maximal potential as they are functional closed-chain exercises. Even then, you will find people who can barely make the beginner strength standards in those two lifts and are able to hit much harder than people who can meet the advanced standards of those lifts.

 

Weight - 182lbs

Squat - 320lbs
Deadlift - 405lbs
Bench press - 265lbs

 

You can do it though. It's all mental. You just need something to drive you. Some kind of antagonist helps.

It also helped that in the middleeast, when you're not working, sleeping or eating, there is very little else to do aside from working out.

And we ate really well. The chow hall was open 24-7.

 

you should always were a belt doing deadlifts, squads and bench press to add support to your lower back. Dont' do it, eventually you'll through out your back and then take 2 or 3 years rehabing it before getting back in the ring. You can do wright, or find out the hard way by not taking the precautions.

just take a protein drink before a work out, you'l be alright

 

What the **** did you just say?

 

guys a super athelete, I like the way he makes his own sandbags:yep

 

You shouldn't have to wear about a belt unless your goal is to become an elite competitive powerlifter. A protein drink won't prevent you from getting injured either. That's literally the worst advice written on here. I also think the bench press should be replaced with a pushup progression program, but that's off topic and debatable. Squats and Deadlifts are great though.
