This is a guide for Getbiggers to show them what is considered a respectable weight to be using in specific exercises for 8 reps. These targets are designed for natural weightlifters. Feel free to add your opinion if you think there is an error or if you want to add more exercises. :) If you can't get to your natural limit of muscle size with these weights then you might aswell stop there because any heavier is just gonna put you at risk of injury.
Bench Press - 315x8
Squat - 405x8
Deadlift - 495x8
Dumbell Biceps Curl - 65lbs each handx8
Dumbell Shoulder Press - 100lbs each handx8

I think these weights are more than respectable other than the DB shoulder press. I'm good for the first two and also the last one.

The dumbell shoulder presses seem oddly juxtposed with the rest of those weights. Anyone agree?
315 bench for 8 reps but your only shoulder pressing 70 lb dumbells.

Exactly if someone can bench that weight for 8 I'd expect they can shoulder press about 250-275lbs. for 6 reps or so.

i've gotten 315x7 and my best DB press is 105x3, and my shoulders are piss poor. if you're getting 315 for reps on the bench, the 100s should be pretty easy generally speaking.

I was thinking the exact same thing...most everyone ca do 70's for 8 with some training...but 315 for 8 is alot more rare to see

Since you posted a womans list, how about one for the men?
-
250kg, right? Not pounds, I assume.
of course, oly lifts are always in kg
-
Best C&J was 120kg. Did it this week. A new PB.
Best snatch was 105kg, last week. I have an easier time with this lift, for some odd reason.
The clean is the hardest part of the lift for me. I can front squat, split squat, and overhead press way more than I can clean. Just need to get stronger there.
high pulls and high pulls off blocks, keep the bar in close and get up on your toes.
-
You catch when you do them, or just pull?
no just pull up to about lower chest level on the lighter ones and just above the belly button on the heavier ones, overload them and PULL HARD.

it is the opposite for me - i can clean with relative ease but am still not enough fast and flexible for a big snatch

Im weak on the bench.3 plates(140kg) aside for 3 reps but db shoulder press can do 50kg bells 8 times.
Do you think theres a weak link some where on the bench. I falter around the 1/2 way point.

I would stop flat benching all together and just do incline and overhead pressing. Where is a flat bench going to get you?
Though the problem with your bench probably lies in your form.

Iv only just started back on it after a couple years away from it ;D
I lower slowly to nipple line(highest point) pause and push back up so the bar travels like an half "S" and at the top its over my eyes.
This is how a bodybuilder should use this exercise not use the shortest range of motion from point A to Point B..as a BB I prob shouldnt care how much weight I use but hey every one wants a decent bench.. ;D

You know as your chest gets bigger your range gets smaller....why not just cut out the middle man? ;D
