gatormade Posts: 1,355 Joined: 2003/10/01	2004/10/02, 04:26 PM If you weigh 173 then you are in the 181 class. Which is about 80 lbs more so you are more like 100 lbs away. Keep working, you are doing well.

arondaballer Posts: 1,054 Joined: 2003/06/14	2004/10/16, 11:32 PM Wow I've got a lot of work to do. I'm not even in class 4 at weight of 185 (bench-165, squat-265, dl-300). I've never really trained for powerlifting, but I've still got a very long ways to go. My goal is to be in class 4 by this time next year at age 17. I always make huge gains in the summer, but bball season takes a lot of time out of my good lifting. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

puresurfr2 Posts: 16 Joined: 2004/12/28	2004/12/28, 01:45 PM Wow....i just started working out again, its been about 8 years since i played with weights, im 185lbs but after my basketball games, i weigh in at 178, im at roughly a class2 right now, with a class1 in plain view by this summer !...but as for master or elite status...not a chance ! :(

gatormade Posts: 1,355 Joined: 2003/10/01	2005/01/04, 07:02 PM He is taller than average. I imagine it is easier for him to get parallel then it is to bend down to pull. Just a guess...
rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2005/01/05, 01:03 PM What has become quite the problem as of late is how people will take their best lifts that are done individually, and add them together to their total, rather than the legit way of doing all three in the same meet, and total from there....

	2005/01/05, 05:42 PM look at the weight, and combine scores from your squat, bench, deadlift and see where you are I am guessing I would be class 1 at 220...although my scores raw are probably lower than they would be in a suit...my friend added 50-75 in bench with a suit going from 405 for a few reps to over 500 at a meet...in squat suit can add over 100 for experienced lifters...
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2005/01/08, 08:26 PM Im almost a class 2 lifter. about 70 pounds away. That'll go quick though once the regular wrestling season is over and i can focus more on lifting and getting stronger for freestyle. But im also only 17. I will one day be on that elite list.

Firehawk734 Posts: 295 Joined: 2002/07/31	2005/01/09, 10:34 PM How can he have squatted over 1000 and pulled only 655? ============ Quoting from boost1: =============
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2005/01/11, 07:59 PM I've seen it happen. A lot of tall lifters have that problem, or lifters with good hamstring development but poor overall posterior chain development. Also, another major limiting factor is grip strength. I saw a guy at one meet squat 600 and then drop a 350 pull. Not the same kind of numbers, but you get the idea.

timmstar Posts: 426 Joined: 2003/12/08	2005/06/28, 04:46 AM wait nevermind i figured out how it works :D if i weigh 155 pounds would i be in the 148 class or 165? do u always go to the one above even if im closer to the 148?
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2005/06/29, 12:16 AM yes, to qualify for a weightclass than you must be UNDER that weight at the time of weigh ins. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
smallbig Posts: 86 Joined: 2004/12/27	2005/06/29, 02:27 AM if i lost two pounds i would be class 4 and thats only 5 class' away from being elite. im close, i can taste it.

	2007/01/11, 02:57 PM 148.. if your weight is over by even 1 lb of a certain weight class...then you go into the next highest weight class....this is why it's good to be the heaviest allowed for your targetted weight class....so for you 132 weigth class may be a good good.....
