1000lb total within a year

[soundsgood]

I did a bit of research into Jason Blaha after reading that other thread about his views on the IPF

 

He has stated that any male lifter, regardless of bodyweight, should be able to total 1000lb with a year of solid training and nutrition up their sleeves with no drugs required (obviously not including anyone extremely small say under 65kg or with a medical/physical ailment)

 

1000lb is 453.6kg so for the sake of ease lets say 455kg.

 

A year of solid training (powerlifting programmes only) and solid nutrition (with the goal of hitting as high of a powerlifting total as possible) I would personally think you should be able to hit

160kg squat

100kg bench

180kg deadlift

440kg total so not quite 1000lb but not far off it.

 

He has been roasted for saying this but I don't think he's too far off.

 

Thoughts?

I think he's fairly accurate. Following an actual powerlifting program with correct form and eating well definitely. At least any guy over 80kg who actually commits to the goals of the program and doesn't go out getting wasted and drunk every weekend.

i think any male that trains for strength can get that within a year.

most would get the bench and deadlift before the squat though

 

i see plenty of people in the gym deadlift 180, bench 100+ but then they squat something like 90x10 for a few sets, at most grind out 120 or so. i havent seen any onesquat 3 plates or more in a long time, my gym must be particulary week though

Give me a few more months, and I'll let you know.

Give me a few more months, and I'll let you know.

where are your lifts at the moment pseudo? guesstimate 1rms? where were they pre strength training? imagine you are improving quickly

[Pseudonym]

I haven't updated my journal for a few (maybe 6) months, so I'll dig out all the numbers and post them up there. Maybe even get some photos in the next couple of days.

 

Let's just say I'm not quite at the 1000lb total yet.

[Leeroid]

I would agree. My first total was 380kg after 6 months of training at 66kg bodyweight. After 11 months I hit 460kg with 180 squat 90 bench and 190 dead bodyweight 69kg. So obviously not that hard considering I could do it at such a light bodyweight

[BeastBuilder]

The people roasting him would be the jiggaboos who don't know how to eat, programme hop every two weeks, don't train legs etc we all know the type.

I think he is right on the money with that call.

A solid stint at 5x5 for six months or so, followed by 5/3/1 once the weights become to taxing for the frequency of 5x5 would easily have any male totalling over 1,000lbs provided they didn't eat like a bird

[maccaz]

Yeah fastest way to do it would be 5x5 till it stops working then something like 5/3/1 or sheiko or something. Doesnt matter what imo just something thought out and structured.

I reckon personally up to 1000lb wasnt soo hard but every 10kg after 500 or so is 2x as hard as the 10kg before it lol

[Katipo]

I'm coming up to a year of proper strength training and my numbers are about there. 165kg squat, 100kg bench, and 190kg deadlift at 83kg body weight

[reddog]

yip full agree on that, most should hit that with no issues with consistence training, alot though are limited by there minds and training environment
