Any powerlifters?

[1101550]

I used to compete, poorly as my bench always sucked (long arms + hypermobile elbows= pain).

I don't compete anymore.

My last meet's weights were

At 190 lbs

Bench- 275lbs (the worst for my weight)

Squat- 575 lbs

Deadlift- 620 lbs (Sumo, I always lift sumo for meets and train conventional almost exclusively)

Haven't competed in a year but here are some estimates based on recent training:

Squat - 600
Bench Press - 510
Deadlift - 585

I compete in 242 but would do better in 220. I just hate cutting.

I've always admired the strength. Once knew a guy who could bench 900lbs, no joke. He wore a special vest/shirt. I guess it was to keep his arms from snapping off his shoulders.

Never competed and odds are never will but my lifting routine is mainly powerlifting. These numbers you all are posting are unreal.

Ah, yes. Equipped lifting. At 900 pounds, it was multi-ply. I've known a couple guys in that range. You're right. The gear keeps the weight from killing you instantly.

Bench-315
Deadlift-500
Squat-375
Don’t powerlift anymore. Barely do any of the three lifts at all these days

If you really want to add some thickness or muscle mass to your body I feel power lifting will give you results compared to those who always try to stay in the 10+ range of reps for exercises. If you don't believe me point me towards a skinny weak power lifter....

I'm waiting.....

Didn't find any?

Case closed.

You both are! I'm like you eazye, short and range of motion makes it easier Haha. I never really go for max weight so I have no idea what I'd be able to lift. I just move weights until it gets to heavy and move on.
