Schmopey Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I started to get serious about shedding some extra weight a year ago as of yesterday; I am down just over 53 pounds. I started Strong Lifts almost 11 months ago; I am now squatting 235, benching 200, OHP 135, and deadlifting 295. I also celebrated my 38th birthday 3 weeks ago. Not too bad! 2 Quote Paladin Aspirant Level 3 STR: 13 DEX: 3 STA: 9 CON: 9.33 WIS: 6.66 CHA: 6 MyFitnessPal Challenges: First, Second, Third, Fourth Link to comment
Super Destroyer Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Man, I am glad you posted this! Congratulations on an awesome year and accomplishment! This is the inspiration that I need right now. I started doing SL 5x5 back at the beginning of November. Your numbers are just the kind of numbers I want. I think I somehow thought at first that I could continue losing and still get there fast. If I could be down that much by next January, and progress to those numbers, I would be thrilled. Thanks for sharing! Quote "It is cutting time......"

Schmopey Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks, Super Destroyer! Progress does get difficult after you've been losing weight for a while. I was actually 16 pounds lighter at the end of October. My lifts were stalling; I was struggling to break 200 on my squat, my bench was stuck at 187.5, and the most I had deadlifted for reps was 275 for 4 in August. I really want to improve upon the 725 combined total I posted during the fall lifting meet, so I decided to eat more. I am pretty happy with the results, though I definitely have a bit more to lose this spring . BtW, your progress in your pics is fabulous!
