Just curious what the MD applicant pool looks like compared to the crowd I see at the gym. Obviously not a scientific poll or anything, just share...either your one rep max or your 6-8 rep weight for everyday lifting.

Cheers!

Geez what? I can do like 6 reps of 155 benching comfortably...wow and I thought I would be relatively strong for a premed student (believing in the stereotypes of studying all the time)
 
Bench: 255lbs
Squat: 315lbs
Deadlift: 455lbs

I weigh 160lbs. Dieted last year for bodybuilding but didn't end up competing.

I have videos in facebook 😀

My experience is the thread goes as the first few posts go. If the first 3 or 4 are legit responses the thread usually turns out ok. If we get LolCatz and Memes right off the bat there's no chance for recovery.

Still, I am surprised that a thread of this nature survived as long as it did.
 
Nothing quite like flexing those internet muscles... You guys rock👍(sarcastically roles eyes as flooded with memories of insecure high school jocks)
 
I haven't maxed in a longgg time. This transition/gap year has not been the best for my workout routine, either, but I've maintained.

1 RM Bench: Probably 250 right now, highest was 275.

I haven't maxed on squat since high school, and that was 315 then. Considering I can do 3x10 with 315 now I'm going to guess I'm some where around 430 for a 1 RM. I'll never know because it's not worth the possible injury at this point.

Not sure about deadlift. I use it in my routine, but I've never maxed.

So everyone who participated in this thread is considering ortho, right? :meanie:

Oh, and 6' 205.
 
I held the record for my high school for female squats at 300lb...thats the lift, not my weight :laugh: ..benched 130...don't remember my max at deadlifts but my mile was around 6:30...I think that gave me a scaled score of about a 33Q...they really do wear you out with deadlifts before the typically easy mile run 😉

300 lbs squat for a high school girl? holy ****.
 
In the summer when I went regularly...

Bench: 195 (max), 155 (8)
(I don't do squat and deadlift)

5'8'' 157lbs.

I'm going to start going regularly soon because I can't imagine doing 195 anymore...it gets so hard to max out when you don't go for like a month and a half and go sporadically without any sort of schedule.
 
5'8, 150

bench: 180x6
atg Squat: 230x6
Deadlift 280x6

in b4 do u even lift

What type of routines do you guys do? I just started layne norton's power hypertrophy, and it's been amazing so far, but damn pretty high intensity!
 
5'8 - 205lbs

Max Lifts:
Bench: 305lbs (315 is like an unbreakable barrier...)
Squat: 475lbs
Deadlift: 555lbs (inches from 575 about a month ago!)
 
6'2, 230lbs.

Bench- 375
Squat- 460
Deadlift- 575

edit after reading thread: there a definitely some liars up in here.

My max bench was 350... or 325... [something like that] half a decade ago.

I can only assume that it is exponentially lower now as these days I only push electrons instead of teh iron.

I don't mean to sound mysogynistic, but these are pretty impressive stats 👍

The last time I asked a female friend if she wanted to press just the barbell, I got a wtf look
 
Bench: 165 (i only do dumbbell bench now)
Squatz: 225
Deadlift: 200

5'9", 158lb

Getting back into lifting hard after cutting w/ p90x. Dropped a lot of weight on the deadlift =(


Surprised this hasn't been brought up yet, but does everyone hope to continue hitting the gym in med school? I do for sure... starting to tailor my workouts now to fit the future schedule better. I've got my lifts down to 2 day splits w/ 2 days of HIIT
