I'm turning 45 this year so my goal is trying to hit the thousand pound club before I'm too old.
"The 1,000-Pound Club is an unofficial weight room title for people who can lift a combined one rep max (1RM) of 1,000 lbs or more in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. These three exercises are considered the "big three" of powerlifting"
Currently I'm at
Bench - 255 (I'm probably capped here with my middle-aged shoulder pain)
Squat - 315
Dead Lift - 405
All you guys who've lifted for ages knows that adding 25 pounds of one rep max weight is a ****ing lot, especially for a middle aged guy. My most likely route will be adding to dead lift but it'll be a long, slow process. If I get hurt, I can't work, and if I don't work I'll have no money and, well, then I'm ****ed.
