The 300/400/500 club. Can you join?
Hey everyone.
It's been a goal of mine for quite some time to be able to join this "club". I thought maybe since there's been some interest from other members, that I could start this thread and do the upkeep on it; kinda like Ian's squat chart and dead chart. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here Ian. I'll also ask JP if he'll make it a sticky. This is one of my goals this year.
300 flat bench; 400 traditional squats; 500 traditional deads. Please no gear for the club, ie. no bench shirts, lifting straps, etc.
Please make posts in this thread to let me know of your indoctrination into each category. As always, the honor system applies.
Best of luck, lift safely and let's hit some of these goals. Motivation/accolades highly suggested.
300 bench category
400 squat category
gymrat - 445 max, currently 400
500 deads category

I may make the 1,000 pound club someday, but I don't think this one is within my reach.

I'm hoping by the end of next year at the latest. Long time to do it. I'd rather say by about mid April when JP is having his summit gathering in LR.
BTW - got 405 today on deads. I was pumped!

I'm working on the 200/300/400 club. Can we make a seperate category within this thread for those of us not quite there yet? Currently sitting at 160/200/340, although the bench and squat have not been tested in almost a year.

I don't see why not. I'll make another category at the bottom. I've got a PM into JP so that I can go in an edit my first post.

I applaud your goal. For me though I'm with John. The 1000 lb club would be a hell of a milestone at my current weight..

The only one of these that seems feasible for me would be the 400 lb. squat. A great goal to pursue, though! Good luck!

The 400lb squat and 500lb deadlift are my goals, but I don't think I'm getting them in 2007. Maybe 2008, but not likely 2007. I have too far to go.
Are the 300/400/500 like a transition point from average lifter to amateur PLer?

Not that I know of. It's just been a point of mine that seemed to push over the top into a new plateau.

I would like to be in this club myself.
Current rough 1RM:
Deadlift - 420-440
Squat - 320-340
Bench - 250-275
I'm just getting back to deadlifting and squatting from a lower back injury during a ME squat. And i just started alot of DB presses which have strengthen my shoulder, along with I/O, i can bench again with no discomfort.
I REALLY want to hit the 300/400/500 club this year!

Right now I wouldn't be in it. My maxes have been 320 bench, 500 squat, and Im not sure what deadlift but right now they're down since I just started lifting again after a long layoff. It'll probably take me a couple months to be back in the club. So I better get to work now that I'm not sick...
