thought id post this in general chat...
just wondering on all your opinions regarding gains one should make in about 10-11 months (i started lifting december and will cut once november rolls around)... had some plateaus along the way with squat and bench...
but my question is... in that time frame, what would you guys say would be minimum, average and excellent gains in strength?
i started deadlifting at 220/240lbs roughly for about 5 reps and now can do about 375lbs with a goal of 440lb minimum for a 1rm by november... im happy but am wondering is this normal, good or average?
i know of a guy who in about 3-4months took his squat from 132lbs to 308lbs for 8reps... ridiculous... personally i plateaud around 220 and am just starting to break through it
my bench started roughly at 140lbs, currently at ~190/200 looking for 220+ by november...
so just state what you guys have achieved in roughly that time frame, or what you see as minimum goals one should aim for? (id presume new lifters gain more than advanced... otherwise a lifter of 20 years would be squatting ridiculous amounts if you could forever add 100lbs+ a year to your squat)
thanks
