Vixen68 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I Deadlifted my bodyweight!!! ... Twice! I get that this is still a pretty small number compared to what a lot of people are lifting, but I only really just started Deadlifts properly last week and I though it would take longer then this to hit that target. It gives me hope of increasing my lifts much more in the near future. Very happy I am also loving deadlifts and squats - Im sitting here at work wishing i was at the gym. That is definitely not something that I would have thought possible a couple of months ago WOOT!!

Huntress Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Got bit by the Iron Bug I see. I hear once you got bit you're affected for life Congrats on your progress, that's fantastic! Here's to the many more deadlifts to come.It's funny how you can really enjoy something you thought had no appeal or wasn't a possibility for you. But the first time I managed a proper deadlift I was hooked. Quote HuntressCurrent challenge - Rebels - Huntress lays the foundations"The effort yields its own rewards" - Data, Star Trek: TNG.

Yep next goal - 100kg (~1.5x BW) I'm not complaining about being affected for life but i have had people comment on how they just dont see the appeal, and i think "little do you know..."
