Today was great!
Was able to increase all weight as planned but I may have reached my deadlift limit at 90lbs! Ha!
I clearly need to build strength!
Thanks for all the help and encouragement!4 -

One thing I found is that if you use the app, you can choose the increments in which the weights go up and usually the deadlift default is 10lbs but I am at the point where I changed it to 5lbs to make it so slowly at the risk of trying to pull too much and injuring myself.

Thanks for the tip. Mine is going up by 10 currently. I'll definitely try 5 instead.0 -

Biggest isuue I have there is trying to find the 2.5s. My gym has them, but they all seems to be hoarded in the women's only area near their bathroom2 -

Ha! Funny!
My gym doesn't have a women's area. Only 2 racks and 2 benches and each one has plenty of 2.5's. Today I found myself waiting for 1 guy because he was using both bars. Had one set with his current stuff and the other ready to go to switch over.
I got fed up and walked up acting like I didn't know he was using both and just asked which one he wanted. Lol
He seemed annoyed by me. Lol

Well, I'm still going strong. Pun intended!
Probably not making very quick progress because I think I wasn't pushing myself hard enough for too long and probably not doing every lift exactly right. But, I'm still going and haven't given up on it like I've done with every other form of exercise I've tried so far.
Got some baby callouses to prove it! Lol
I haven't lost any scale weight at all and am still up a few pounds from before I started but I was probably eating too much for a few weeks. I kinda ran with the increased hunger and no doubt was overdoing it. But that's ok.
Just want to get stronger for now and I got the hungries back under control.
I will need to take a progress pic soon to see if anything is noticeable. I think I'm hesitant because I really want for there to be a visible difference. I will be disappointed if I don't look at least a tiny bit more fit. So I don't want to compare too soon.3 -
Awesome for continuing!1
