Hi, I am looking for people who have started weight training recently. It would be awesome to know you guys.

I have started lifting since February 10th. Yesterday was my first day of fifth week. I am only doing 5 compound movements (Squat, Bench, OHP, Bent Over Row and Deadlift) 3 times a week, 5 sets of 5. Each week I am increasing 2.5 kg (5 pounds) every workout. But I think I will have to deload on OHP this week and I will probably increase 2.5kg every other day for my Deadlift.

My stats are -
Height - 150 cm (4 feet 11)
Weight - 50.8 kg (112 pounds)
Bust - 35 inches
Waist - 28.5 ish (30.5 ish at navel)
BF % - I am not sure but I don't have much fat accumulated except squishy love handles which one can only see if I wear body hugging outfit.
••• I am very quad dominant. My thighs are 22 inches, calves are 13, bicep, 10, neck 12 and wrist 5.5

••• My goal is to squat my body weight which is 50 kg (110 pounds) by the end of six months.

My current lifting weights are -
Squat - 20 kg (44 pounds)
Deadlift - 25 kg (55 pounds)
OHP, Bench and Bent Over Row - 17.5 kg (38.5 pounds)

••• My gym has a local bar which is 5 kg (11 pounds) and plates of 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 kg

••• I am going to be using Olympic Bar from next week since before this week I couldn't lift that heavy bar. Working up my way there.

Now please share your lifting story. When have you started and how are you enjoying so far?
