Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness Strength Table 2012

Lifters ranked by Wilks Coefficient
Weights in Kilograms
Raw lifts - belt, chalk are OK; No suits, wraps, straps, magic genies, etc.


A challenge from the current top seat, Mini Forklift:
"Okay, time to lay down a challenge. Anyone that can move above me on the board I'll send out a prize pack to you (informal proof of lifts + bodyweight required lol).

1 x Power Balance bracelet
1 x Anytime Fitness T-Shirt (XL)
1 x bottle HMB capsules
1 x bottle Guarana Pre-WO capsules

I'll cover the cost of the prize and will ship at my cost to the first person that beats my Wilkes score. Thought this could be a good motivator so have fun and lift big MF."

OK everyone - I am going to compile a new strength table for 2012. This is only going to count your best lifts for this year. I don't care how strong you were last year or 10 years ago. This will be a current ranking only.

Please reply with your bodyweight and your max squat, bench, and deadlift. The ranking will be done by Wilk's Coefficient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks_Coefficient) and everyone will be ranked together. However there will be a column to denote male/female, as well as columns for lift totals and bodyweight.

Every time your max in one of the lifts goes up, post a new reply and I'll periodically update the table, probably once or twice a week.

The table will be done in kilograms, so please include the lbs or kg tag with your weights so I know which ones to convert.

If you are like me and don't often test your max lifts, let me know your best set and I'll calculate your max based on Wendler's 1RM formula: 1RM = set weight * reps * 0.0333 + set weight. I will round down to the nearest kg.

Hopefully this will spur some friendly competition among those close in strength levels. Lets keep it civil and fun. Lets do this!

EDIT: Please post your non-geared lifts only. Belts/chalk are fine, but no suits/straps/wraps please!

My current stats:
BW ~195 lbs
Calculated Squat: 338 lbs (5x290)
Calculated Bench: 239 lbs (6x200)
Calculated Deadlift: 437 lbs (6x365)

Current PB's (as raw lifts):

Bodyweight: 140lb
Squat: 242
Bench: 231
Deadlift: 418

Congratulations, MF, you are top of the chart!

My mistake, I actually made a cock up in that my squat should be 120kg/264lb (my bad maths).

Just noticed that my bench and deadlift the wrong way round lol... although I would love a 190kg bench !!

BW: 206 lbs

Bench: 240 lbs

Squat: 340 lbs

Deadlift: 435 lbs

If it were at my peak about 6 years back, it'd be as follows:

Squat - 525 lbs.
Bench - 315 lbs.
Deadlift - 545 lbs.

All done at bodyweight between 250 and 275 lbs. at the time.

If we're talking in today's terms, it'd be more like:

Squat - estimated @ 405 lbs. (haven't gone heavy in a bit, will test again in a month or two)
Bench - 300 lbs.
Deadlift - estimated @ 440 lbs. (will test again in a month)

All done at bodyweight between 225 and 230 lbs. now.

Not a bad trade off for being 40 pounds lighter!

Exactly - goal is to try and get close to the old numbers while keeping around 230 lbs., it doesn't pay to get fat just to be stronger any longer!

Nice! Glad to have you, MattSvxv and VE, on the board. It's not looking that lonely anymore!

VE, I took the median of your weight, so 227.5 lbs.

Fixing the column discrepency and adding my current cycle's heavy lifts.

BW ~196 lbs (bouncing between 197 and 195 this week)
Calculated squat: 349 lbs (5x300)
Calculated bench: 245 lbs (6x205)
Calculated deadlift: 449 lbs (6x375)

Bodyweight: 170lbs
Squat: 315
Bench: 215
Deadlift: 425

Really stoked you got this up and going asparagus

Nice lifts Jamesxvx, updated!

Thanks man, still not happy with them, we'll see what December brings! You're getting strong too man! These lifts are nuts, and are pushing me to get at my PR's as soon as possible

We've been stickied! Thanks to the Overlords!

james - from your log your progress and numbers look good, I've no doubt that you'll hit some big PRs in December.
