i do 180lbs for 8 reps..
I reliably do 8 reps at 155, and I can push out 5 reps at 175. My max is probably something like 1 rep at 190 or 195. So yea, I'm pretty weak 
Thanks Mike, I've worked hard to get my numbers up. How are you holding the kettlebell? Do you hold it with hands back like in a clean or arms folded?
Have you seen the newest kettlebells that came out? They look badass, state of the art steel. Shugart has a pic of them up on his review of the NSCA conference this year in Vegas. And by the way, the one in Oklahoma this weekend was excellent.

how much does everyone weigh though? if you weigh 160lbs and you only and you max out a 145 that's a little ehhhhhhh
I clean them to my chest and hold them in the "rack" meaning my arms are bent and the bell (the ball) is held in place by my forearms and biceps.
Are you referring to the 100lb bell or "the beast". I think I may see one tomorrow when I meet a kettlebell instructor. I don't even want to think about touching that thing!

I weigh about 145-150.
I know this topic's dead, but I realized a few days ago that I can squat a lot more than I thought I could. I did 5 reps easily at 205, and a few sets of 8 at 165. I would speculate though that my 1 rep max is somewhere between 230 and 260.
