Librarian of Doom Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 So I started lifting at the beginning of last challenge, roughly 7 weeks ago. I've been using the Stronglifts progression just for simplicity's sake. Last night, I squatted 115 lbs, roughly half my bodyweight! It was a little struggle to get the last set in, but I did all 5 sets of 5!!!!I feel like such a badass Especially since I got to use the 35lb. plates. Almost to the big wheels!!!

wildross Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 congrats!! You're doing really well on your progression... Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.
