Lifting

[ughh..]

FINALLY hit 225 (2pl8) on bench earlier today. Didn't try for my 1 rep max for the longest and felt good today after doing 6 reps 185. Felt easy

What have you guys done recently? post your stats symmetricstrength.com. Dont mind me weak af

I just use the website. You put your info and your lifts and it determines your 1 rep max and where you stand in terms of strength. As well as seeing if your strength is symmetric through your body to let you know through your weakest lifts/muscles if a muscle group is lacking
And then a comparison to others but not sure how accurate that is as anyone can enter anything

 

I would recommend for calculating strength, at least for Bench, Squat, Deadlift to use a WILKS score calculator. This will be most accurate in telling you your strength in comparison to your body weight for those 3 lifts

Yeah symmetric strength gives a relatively accurate WILKS score. As long as I reach 2pl8 bench for reps and 4pl8 deadlift for reps I think thats a good strength goal for me then focus on having a good physique and perfecting my eating habits/diet

Ouch yeah something happening out of your control is frustrating. I hate setting myself back. This whole week was celebrating and just eating garbage so I'm not feeling too good on getting my lifts right and losing weight consistently. I keep myself hard stuck at 178lb

Good thing muscle memory exists and you won't take even a fraction of the time to get back where you were!

 

With my lifting numbers prior to the quarantine I'm at a 90.3 score (not including pullups because I'm like 16% BF cba)
The goal is to get back to those numbers, another 4-6 weeks and I should be there
