500 deadlift, 405 squat, 275 bench for 8 each minimum. If less keep bulking. If 5'5 bulk to 6' at least.

do those poundages require special supplements to perform?

I've seen 140lbs manlets bench 225 for reps.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Tough but fair standard. Does this apply to people that aren't 5'5" like op was asking?
