Club 1000: Crushing my Powerlifting goals; A Software Engineer's Fitness Milestone!

In this video, i show 3 lifts back squat, bench press and deadlift whose total exceeds 1000lbs. Joining club 1000 had been a goal for me for a very long time and i was finally able to achieve it recently.
As a software engineer, we spend lot of time in front of a desk which leads to sedentary sub optimal lifestyle when it comes to fitness. Fitness is one of the activities im passionate about and it is a huge part of my lifestyle.

Wow that was really impressive! As a fresher in the SWE industry, I started lifting pretty recently. I've got miles to go, but this was the inspiration I need rn!

Thats great that you are starting at the right time. Its a marathon. Slow and steady progress has worked great work me. Make slow consistent progress over time and stay injury free :)

props to you

Very well done, mate!
I just hit a 420lbs deadlift at 135lb Bodyweight, and as soon as I uploaded, I got yours recommended.

[@sreenidhisreesha]

420lbs at 135lb body weight is super impressive! Congrats. I wonder if you are close to breaking a record at one of the meets. Its little over 3x body weight.

[@captaincairoPT]

@Sreenidhi Sreesha yeah 3.2 X bodyweight. I checked the world record for my weight class in women is 175kg, so I'm already pretty happy with that, but you're already part of club 1000 - I don't think I'll be able to get there at my bw^^
Squat PR is 150kg.... as for benchpress, last time I even did that exercise was 5 years ago, haha.
You're going places, though - good form, heavy weights, and good understanding of what you're doing. Props!!
I'll be following your progress! Always happy to sub to beasts 💪🏾👆🏾

[@sreenidhisreesha]
