Let's say tomorrow is my first day at gym.
Let's say I'm moderately strong for a couch potato and willing to push myself for hard lifts.
How much should I attempt to lift for:
-deadlift (1 rep, no dropping)
-squat (1 rep)
-bench (5 reps)
-clean & jerk (no dropping)
And how much should I attempt to add after each successful lift?

>deadlift - 4pl8
>squat - 3pl8
>bench - 2pl8
>c+j - 1pl8
did you not read the sticky?

I said first day at gym not first day on /fit/, cmon baka desu senpai

I jk, but seriously. Doesn't matter how much you lift the first time, get your form down and build the weight up gradually. If you prioritise weight over form then prepare to become a resident of snap city.

Ok, it's not actually my first day, I did SL for a bit a few months ago, so I have somewhat of an understanding of the lifts. I just need some numbers here, like the safest maximum.
>>34845478
instead of going to the gym tomorrow, could you just try not being a cunt for a day? ...please.

like how the fuck am I even being a cunt?

OP is asking retarded questions with zero context... any non-joke answer would be at least as equally retarded as the question.
You shouldn't be attempting to max at all if it's your first day in the gym. You should almost never be maxing in the gym.

You talk to whoever is walking you through your machines and workouts so you don't hurt yourself, and determine what you can lift at 3x8 to failure, then you write it down.
start with the bar.
add 10 lbs to the bar until the speed of the bar slows.
that is your starting weight.
add 5-10 lbs to each lift every workout thereafter.

and in just 1 year you will have a 410lbs bench press.

how retarded are you, man?

c'mon bro
>>34845478
depends on how much you weigh.
gotts say going into the gym the first day and doing 1 rep max has got to be the dumbest thing ive ever heard though.
