I'm happy with upper end of intermediate/lower advanced in my mid 30's.
A note on bench press: it is such a technique lift. I promise I could add 10% to most novice lifters after a day of instruction.
Sorry for you long-armed baws, bench will never be kind to you....but deadlifts will

That's why I'm in the elite for bench. I know the proper technique. I'm still trying to get deadlift down.

Lol you are all worked up because people downvoted your lies.

No no no. I like the down votes. I take them as "damn, I can't do that much."

You arch and everything? I'm not tall but I'm 6'. Dips helped a lot with my flat bench.

Your numbers are great for your size

Thanks. Was there a path to get to your 585 once you hit 500 that was different than before? I want to get to 600 by my 31st birthday next October.

Couple things I changed that I think got me there:
I deadlift fewer working sets. Good warm-up then one set of 5 at a heavy weight. DL is extremely taxing on the body.
Also went from doing them in Chucks to doing them in socks.
I eat cleaner, but the day before heavy deads I make damn sure to get lots of carbs.
Consider stronglifts 5x5 to her your numbers up too. It feels like you're not doing enough at first but if you stick to it, all your numbers will climb. Good luck!

Holy shite, you are triggered.

Dont lift as often or near as consistently as I use to. Have to have shoulder and possibly back surgery, hope to hit it hard again following those. Wasnt to far from elite when I was lifting heavy though. 3 plates at 6ft 185, have no need or desire to put that up again though these days.

That's power lifting
Weight lifting is clean and jerks and snatches.

265 bench (damn long arms)

Man those are some pretty massive numbers. I consider myself fairly strong for my weight, but I am basically right at or 5-10 pounds below Advanced for bench, shoulder press, squat and deadlift.
Posted on 12/16/16 at 9:39 am to X123F45
Then yes, people should be squatting 550+ at that weight lol

why dont you guys just suck each other off and get it over with?
Posted on 12/16/16 at 10:27 am to Chad504boy
I'm a former college athlete, at my strongest I was right at intermediate in the bench and about halfway between intermediate and advanced in the dead and squat. I'm perfectly ok with this, some people, especially with tall and lean bodies just aren't meant to push tons of weight.
I'm in my low 40s now but in my prime years I would have been considered an elite jumper/sprinter/athlete compared to the overall population. As I've aged I've seen more benefits from lifting heavier for me, but when younger actually lifting too heavy at one point negatively impacted my athletic performance, although that was due in part to not focusing enough on flexibility and balance.

Take off all them gold chains and you'll be able to get to elite.
Posted on 12/23/16 at 9:45 am to BRgetthenet
My current powerlifting total is approaching 1200 right now and I'm old as frick.. 
I'm elite in bench and in between advanced and elite in squat, deadlift, shoulder press and front squat.
