    Strength Standards

    Posted: 15 Dec 2020 03:04 AM PST

    I read a while back about some good strength goals being 1 plate OHP (60kg), 2 plate bench (100kg), 3 plate squat (140kg) and a 4 plate deadlift (180kg).

    Are these a good measure, and more importantly are they all consistent with eachother? If I hit one, should I be able to hit all 4 goals roughly around the same time, if they are all trained of course.

    I am close to hitting 100kg bench press, but I feel all the others are a while off.

    Edit: Just to add, I'm 25 M. Lifting for 1.5 years, how longs it taken you guys to do these?

    M|27|167CM/5'5ft| 2 January -> 14 December|21kg/46,2lbs Fatloss 2020.

    Quick pre 2020 recap:

    Hey everyone! actually started this training and diet thing in 2013, allways been the fatkid never done any physical activity pretty much until that point.

    Started in 2013 on 107kg/235lbs and lost weight down to 80kg/176lbs in about a year and a half, and since then i have been floating around between 80-90kg since around 2015 pretty much.

    Early this year i just got fed up with myself and said enough is enough, time to do this thing right and nearly one year later i finally managed to hit my goal!

    Info:

    I am 5'5(167cm) and 27 years old, i went from 90kg(198lbs) 2 January 2020 -> 69kg(152lbs) on 14 december 2020

    Diet:

    Starting with calories my weekly daily average was around 2600calories with around 150-160g protein.

    When my fatloss stopped i went down like 100 calories each time and the last couple months now have been on the lower end like 2100-2200cals and protein still between 150-160g

    as far as what i have been eating i've pretty much been following the vertical diet which pretty much consist of redmeat,rice,potatoes,orangejuice,spinach,carrots and eggs.

    But i do want to add that i also ate bread, i just cant live without that.

    been trying to hit 4 meals each day and mostly they look something like this.

    Meal 1: 300kcal of Greekyoghurt + 80cals OJ and 20cals spinach(blended)

    Meal 2: 250kcal Groundbeef + 360kcal rice + 30kcal chickenbroth

    Meal 3: 250kcal Groundbeef + 360kcal rice + 30kcal chickenbroth

    Meal 4: 300-500kcal Bread + 200kcal delimeats.

    I also snack on some carrots throughout the day when i feel like it, and probably drink around 1-1.5liters of zero calorie drinks each day which really helps with my sweet tooth.

    But i do want to add not everyday looks like this!

    So on some days i just dont feel like eating this stuff and then i switch things out, but i allways try to remain within my daily calorie range.

    Training schedule just with dumbells?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2020 12:53 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    Our country has gone into lockdown again, which means the gyms will also be closed. Fortunately I now have a pair of dumbbells. Unfortunately, though, I can only load them up to 17.5 kg per dumbbell. I'm used to going to the gym 5-6 times a week. For reference: the other week I managed to perform a 5x5 with 100 kg on the bench press.

    Does anyone have some sort of training schedule that'll prevent me from losing muscle mass now that the gyms are closed? Preferably I build lean muscle mass in the meantime, but I'm not sure if that's possible with such low weights..

    Would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance!
