alice Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hello! I just hit a goal squat of 150 lbs today, and I'm so stoked that I finally got off my ass and joined the forums here... Been reading NF for several years, but never got involved in the community before. I started doing the powerlifts several years ago, but never nailed down the forms, and didn't stick it out past 1 month. Now I've been going to the gym 3 x week for 7 weeks without skipping, following Starting Strength and dialing in form, and I'm starting to see real gains (starting working weight to current working weight): (Bodyweight: 140)Squat: 85 --> 150Deadlift: 135 --> 185Bench: 70 --> 97.5Press: 50 --> 67.5Power clean: 45 --> 70 I also worked at a new deadlift PR of 185 today, which is only less cool than 150 because it's not as pleasingly round a number. When I get to 200 DL, I'll do a touchdown dance. Off to rest, eat more, and decide on my next squat goal... Thanks, all! 2 Quote Link to comment
