Progress Report

Lee J B · 10-Feb-03, 03:18 PM

hey all, I will update this throughout the year as lifts progress... On the 12/10/02 I maxed out at 288lbs for deadlift. Today 10/02/03 I maxed out at 304lbs !!!!! Was aiming for 300lbs, you might think 4lbs is not much extra but I could really feel it make a difference, anyway .... this was my goal for next month so I am ahead of schedual which is always good. next Deadlift goal is 400 by 26/09/03.

Here it is !

Kickin' butt! Way to go Lee (you've got me beat there!)

I couldn't help wondering if your barbell is being supported on each end by the building frame (that appears to be) behind you. Just kidding, but it looks pretty funny.

Lee J B · 10-Feb-03, 03:40 PM

Supported? Are you kidding ? No WAY ! the only thing supporting that bar is me ! Damn..... I'll have to take another pic for proof if it looks a bit suspicious. But no I swear that was a pure and good lift..... I am on a high now

Great Lift!

Way to go, LeeJB!!!!

You will become a massive hulk in no time!!!

How are you doing on squats and bench presses...?? Any goals there, or am I just late to the party??? :confused:

That pic is too funny... the bar looks... I dunno... Good work Lee. Since those plates seem to be smaller than Olympic plates you're lifting from a lower position than most I guess. That definitely makes things harder. With some good bumper plates you could probably do 315 without a problem. But it wouldn't look as freaky as that though...

Lee J B · 11-Feb-03, 11:43 AM

Thanks and yeah I need new weights

Tuna, I hardly squat I like to leg press, but last time I remember I was squatting 225lb which really aint that good but I guess I should start to add them again, Bench goal for the 26/09/03 is 360lb and then 01/12/03 is 390lb thats it for this year..... I have benched 290lb up to now.

Hi, time for an update - OK so I've not updated for what 5 months now ? lol, oh well here it is. This picture was 18th May this year, 288lbs squat, the next workout the following week, which was last week I got 300lb for 2 reps, I will get a pict of that for proof, but for now the 288lbs one will have to do, hmmm, I need a new bar, this lift just about ****ed it, but last week really mashed it, has a massive curve in it perminantly, so everyone... I am taking Lee's new bar donations as of now

lol, other stats you might be interested in are,

Deadlift: 345lbs for 8 reps, 14th May.

Notice how long that 45lbs took, too damn long. Although it did come (probably due to the jumpstretch band training thanks god!)

Lee J B · 29-May-03, 10:37 AM

Here's the god damn bar, I will take a pict of it now, without the weight, it stays in the same shape lol. By the way, ebon00 - thanks for the advice of trying the deads with an olympic bar & plates, it worked. Oh yeah, I'm 17 years of age, 214lbs as of last weekend.
