Surpassed previous best of 102,5kg: 105kg (231.3 lbs) x 1 . BW = 64,4 kg (141.9lbs).
Ratio: 1,63.
Nine months later and I still wasn't able to get past that 105kg post as I'd failed at the 110kg and then at the 107.5kg attempt.
However, ratio went up as I'd lost weight:
Now : 105 @ 61.5kg BW = ratio of 1.71
(In archaic el-bee-esses 231.3lbs @ 135.5 lbs )
Ummm you're supposed to post your 1 rep maxes. Not 5-rep maxes.
Nor are you supposed to make assumptions for theoretical 1RMs. Or am I mistaken?
So actually you're a helluva lot stronger than you just posted! Why not try again but now see what your best effort for one single rep can be?

I've made some huge mistakes, but they were necessary, because without them I wouldn't have learned anything.

I'm not even close to a max yet, but I tripled 405 tonight at 200. I'm probably still good for low 500s once the grip catches back up, but that's a couple months off yet while I'm building back up.

Sorry I slacked off for so long, guys. One of these days I'll spend a few hours and update it... or perhaps I'll do it in smaller chunks. One of these days...
Right... You're so fucking gone, worthless spammer. Seriously, is there a farm in Kansas where they breed you assholes. Here we are contemplating nuking Iran... I say gather up all these mosquitos of human beings - who don't have the good sense to put an end to their miserable lives - and put them on an Island in the S Pacific and Nuke it till it's a trench!
Oh my.... I hate deleting spammers from my boards too. They are amazingly persistent....
So I am very new to this and was wondering if anyone might help me translate this thread. What do the numbers mean when someone says 240 @ 179 or whatever? What is the first number before the @ sign and the last represent?
The first # is the weight lifted. The second number is the weight of the person who lifted it.
For example, jvernacchio (top of this page) lifted 455 @ 195. This means he pulled a 455lbs deadlift at a bodyweight of 195 lbs.
