If anyone wants to know you can put 101 one gallon milk jugs in a short bed Chevy. I still think about that ridiculous situation almost every workout. I started working on a lats rope machine. Lats are absolutely essential to pull myself out of that situation if it occured again.

Today I got my butt kicked by some college age woman about my size. I did nine rotations of ten lifts with 65 pounds. On the tenth I barely squeaked out twenty lifts for the tenth. She arrived and started with about 125 and went up from there. I mentioned to her she sure kicked my butt. She wants to be a power lifter. Said she was in the 600 club in high school. Anyone know what that is?

For MEN it's the 1000 lb club. It's your total max of three lifts. The three lifts are bench, squat, deadlift. For females they do the 600 pound club.

So for example

Bench: 315 1 x rep max
Squat: 325 1 x rep max
Deadlift: 405 1 x rep max

1045 lift total so you're in the thousand pound club.

The pros are in the 1800 to 2200lb club!!!

Also for strength a good standard for 1 x rep max is the following:

Bench 1.5 x body weight
Squat and DL 2 x body weight

Squats are super hard for me. I hate them. I'm at 1.5 for my body weight.

Well, gentlemen, I could be the water boy for her.
