Thats a tough set Walt,I did 225 for 25 once.............ONCE!!   :D

Best bench 300 weighing 150 (double bodyweight) and 275 for 8 at 165 or so.....never tried a max.

405 squat below paralell at 160 pounds and 370 for a triple at 160 or so........250-17 squat.

Fortress just pissed me off and made me feel like a wuss pausing my best squats for reps on benches!!  LOL  ;D

Wes, the squat movement always felt right to me, like the bench press.

I was not very good at straight bar curling initially until I worked on by hand and forearm strength. Then I found I could isolate my biceps better.

Hello Sir !   🙋‍♀️

I took a step back from the heavier weights on squats and I have been concentrating on doing sets of 12 reps.

The past few weeks I have been working hard on my bench press and dips. I leave next Friday for Oktoberfest. I fly into Frankfurt.

Things are going well and I’m going to get two more chickens.

Some really impressive lifts here

Although none of them count ever unless done this minute with a semi nude photo for our resident predator to knock one out to

I’ve never done the low rep stuff

When 16 at 160 I boxed and was in good nick . I used to do a superset of 20 rep squats and 20 rep stiff legged deadlifts with 250 for 4 supersets - used to put much st  fry infer lifters in a box

Also chins and dips with plus 30kg for 1Os each

My best training weights have been 3plates incline bench for 3x12 which I was made up with. Deadlifts of 4.5 plates for 8’s and hammer pull downs with 5 plates each arm

Nowhere near some of the weights here but I have the bone structure of a child- great when lean and in shape not so good when shifting weights

Skyline in catford saw two fellas do 7 plate squats for 4

And where I train now there are some insane lifts
They have a pl station one fella weighed 79k and pulled 240 which blew my mind

Dumbbell rows with 100k bells for 10!

Some strong people out there- a fitness girl in the gym does 4 plates each side on the hack for 5x12

For me in the 13 weeks left this year it’s about getting food in and staying injury free

Am about to up the protein to 350gn daily with a slight decrease in carbs see where it takes us over the coming months - training daily for mental reasons as much as anything!

Today is officially my folks’ 60th, although the fam get-together will be Sunday.

Fortress flies home on the 28th.

So happy to see a thread “about me” has instigated a lasting yapperama about some Getbig hoisting heroics.

You’re all hauling/have hauled ass!

What a collective of badasses.

Proud to be one of the Getbig family.

HAIL & KILL

Thank you, for them.

My dad is 86 and a cranky bastard. Haha My mom is 83 and has MS. Can’t stand … or do anything, really. She’s stuck in a chair.

Spending my vacation transporting her 15 times each day to the bathroom in this rolling device. Lifting her, etc.

I love them with all my heart, but, man, what an ordeal.

You always hear it growing up, but it’s true: Aging parents is the challenge of a lifetime.
