Haven't competed or even maxed out in years and I am pushing 38.

All for 10s, raw at 132 lbs from the workouts of the past 2 weeks
Squat: 195 (competition depth is certain)
Bench: 165
Deadlift: 315 (without bouncing the load)

The plan: a couple of periodization cycles and hit a meet as a master in 2 years, with these goals:
Squat: 375 (in gear)
Bench: 225 (not into high performance shirts)
Deadlift: 475 (although 500 would be sweet)

BTW - have been doing clean-and-presses for about 2 years now (pushing onto 100 lbs for 10), and noticed that squats and deadlifts do not wind me like they used too.

Some of you guys posted that it's embarrassing to put up your numbers.
Well, Let me tell you. I DON'T THINK SO! Good work so far.
If you think your numbers are low, Do something about it, Hit the weights.
You guys should all be proud of what you have done so far.
Keep pushing!!!

Those numbers are nothing to laugh at -- especially at your weight, ca.

Have I seen you on other boards?

Nothing wrong with being 137, unless you are 6' tall.
You have about 23 more years to continue getting stronger, maybe more.

Wow man you need to get that deadlift up !!!!!!!! . Given your other numbers, it should be up near 405 x 4 reps or more . Nice bench!
