Sounds good. Keep your butt on the bench or it doesn't count. I forgot to tell you I am a former state powerlifting champ...

Really? Me too! This is going to be epic.

I'm 41 and bench 185 for 2 sets of 15, 205 for 2 sets 12 and finish with 225 for a set of 10

squat 185 for 2 sets of 10, 205 for 2 sets of 10 and 225 for 2 sets of 10

Dead Lift is the same as squat. sometimes I'll go heavier

I don't do military but I've gotten into kettle bells over the last year or so and have gotten some good shoulder work doing a lot of the exercises associated with those.

Do you walk around the weight room on your tippy toes while carrying 500 pounds? If not, shame on you...

so what makes sense? How many reps at your body weight? Sounds fair to me.

Dig it. Wanna do it via video or what? You live in the area?

No, but I have started walking laps around the weight room carrying a heavy dumbbell in one hand and switching hands after each lap. It's a great core exercise.

What area?

Is that normal to be able to squat 405 for 8 and only deadlift 435 or is something wrong with me? I can deadlift 400, but only squat 315 once much less 8 times.

That was my max. Everyone is built a lil different. I was always bigger in the lower half.

 

[bignewt]

What area?

THE area. Knoxville.

 

[Jack5151]

I live in Nashville brother.

Oh the 405 squat was your max? that makes a lot more sense I thought you said you could do that 8 times.

 

[bignewt]

So can you?

Of course, video producer is my job.

 

[Jack5151]

I mean see your toes when you stand up.

Oh lol. Yes I can sure see my toes still in the gym quite a bit myself.

I did do it 8 times but I did not go all the way parallel since I was in car wreck and had knee surgery when I was 16. Close to parallel tho.

Sweet. My broham got a Mavic 2 Zoom and he had me learn it. Still have some learning to do. But it's fun. Am interested it editing and stuff like that to.

So you can bench press more than you can squat and deadlift?

Here he is in action.
