5’4”, 119lbs, female, bf% 22-24?
OHP: 60lbs
Bench: 70lbs (lol so weak)
Power clean: 70lbs (yeah, my bench should be higher)
Squat: 140lbs
Deadlift: 175lbs
Just coming off my deficit now, so hopefully I’ll keep seeing improvement.
Those are great numbers for a novice lifter in a deficit. You'll get them up quickly as you eat more.
Thanks, Wheel. I really can’t complain, because I do see progress. As fun as it is to compare ourselves to others, I try to remind myself that the only comparison that means anything is the one to our past selves. 0 -

Thanks! After a 6 week olympic lifting training cycle and an easy power clean made at 145 yesterday i'm hoping for a new PR when I test my 1RM clean and jerk and snatch tomorrow

Nice, I used to Oly lift when I was younger, I just recently took out the power cleans, snatches and high pulls due to my shoulder issues. I love competition lifts!0 -
These threads always make me feel kind of depressed about my progress. Oh well, at least I'm still progressing...
Thats exactly the way to see it!
Look at me - I post my numbers and the very next poster is at double my weights!
Either way, at the beginning of March I had never lifted anything, and in the 4 months since Ive made that much progress - in another 4 months where might we be?

So I guess I'll go ahead and take the thread-weakling title.
5'2" 118 pounds
Bench: 95...the only 1RM I've tested
Deadlift: 145 for 5 reps. Reached my limit on grip so going to straps.
OHP: 60 for 5 reps
Squat: 110 for 5 reps
Not a barebell lift but my biggest improvement. Worked my way up to weighted pull ups 3 reps at 10 pounds.0 -
Eating in a deficit so the numbers aren't getting much higher for now. I tried a higher 1RM on power clean this morning and failed. I'm also scared to DL too much more at the moment due to a lingering back injury (resting it is no fun though).
5'11" 248lbs (112.491kg)
Current 1RM:
Bench - 285lbs (129.274kg)
Squat - 455lbs (206.385kg)
DL - 365lbs (165.56kg)
Power Clean - 205lbs (92.986kg)
Standing OHP - 185lbs (83.915kg)0 -

Totally off topic but I saw your picture. I use a tractor tire for my workouts too. It's a great workout!0 -

@terar21 Have you tried using chalk? My grip starts to fail around 150-160lbs, but with chalk, pulling 215 for reps hasn't been an issue. Might be a good inbetween before moving to straps.
I also try holding random heavy weights to improve grip strength (I feel like side bends don't do much for my core, but holding onto a 50lb dumbbell for a while has been helping the grip); you can also do farmer walks and such to improve grip.0 -
5'10 195 pounds
Everything is 3 sets x 10 reps:
Dumbbell bench: 2x90lbs
Squat: 215lb
Seated row: 180lbs
Lat pulldown: 200lbs
Seated overhead dumbbell press: 2x55lbs
For each exercise I do as many as I can at that weight and then lower the weight when I can't complete a set, so I always do a full 3x10. Squat weight is that weight for all sets though.0 -

I haven't. I'll give it a try (although I may get yelled at because I go to a commercial gym). I think it's bar position in my hands. These little hands can't seem to get it right. Mixed grip helped but bar position seems to be causing issues.
It's come a long way though. Just a few months ago I could barely manage 95 without dropping the bar. Holding/carrying heavy plates definitely helped push it up.0 -

Pretty new to lifting (as in less than 6 months). Eating at a slight deficit and go ahead and add me to the weak upper body category! Actually, this is my first time EVER posting on the subject. Currently, I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5. Proud of what I've been able to accomplish so far!0 -

HT: 5'4
Squat: 155lbs
Bench: 85lbs
Dead: 175lbs
OHP: 65lbs
Row: 55lbs (I reset and went back to the beginning, did bent over instead of pendley's, issues with form and getting the bar to chest) form is finally feeling comfortable with the bent over

I wish I could do a lot of these numbers everyone is saying for lower body but everytime I build up to something good my prior back injury reminds me that it's never going away so I'll keep those numbers to myself until they are respectable

Bench all time max 305 lbs @ 3 flat currently working at 235 lbs @ 6 (all 3 angles flat/incline/decline)
Shoulder press currently work 80 lbs Dumbbells @ 6

Skull crushers 140 lbs @ 5
Dumbbell rows 120 lbs @ 8 (highest my gym has)0 -

that's pretty strong for a girl eh??
you are squatting and DL more than me...<feeling embarassed>
Let me give you a small bit of advice, don't tag on "for a girl" to a woman who lifts. It comes across as patronizing and it's one of the biggest complaints I've heard from my female lifting friends.0 -

some tips for preventing back injury
completely avoid behind the neck lat pulldowns
be wary of upright barbell rows..( one arm db rows are safer)
pull ups are great
pay attention while DLs...back arching, or using too much weight is often the culprit
crunches and sit ups can be replaced with planks
proprer form while squatting
Oh trust me, 10 years of listening to my body I know what to look for. Plus it's my L4/L5 so the only thing that will ever agitate my lower back like that is like you said DL and squats which I have modified quite a bit in at least the last year. I'm being overly cautious but DL is at 235 (my body weight) and back squats are the same. I know there is far more strength (ie my 1200 lbs leg press @ 8) but always cautious.0 -

caution is good..better safe than sorry
what about replacing squats with leg presses?
I'd rather keep both. Compounds are staples and the number one thing that any and every neurosurgeon and physician I have ever spoken to when brining up my prior injury and surgery is to keep the core strong and flexible. The weaker it is my chances of re injury skyrocket even doing the smallest of activities.
So along with a day dedicated to lower back and abs, I keep the compound movements in, except OHP, there is nothing that even feels right about doing that exercise once I hit 135 lbs and over (this is the number one exercise that has thrown out my back).0
