I started lifting at the beginning of the year and haven't found maxes in lifts for months, so I will just use most recent sets:
Bench: 3x145 lbs
Deadlift: 2x275 lbs
Squat: 3x235 lbs2 -
If was doing well lifting for 2 years, did NROLFW then SL 5x5...then injury and chaotic life took me out of training for the last 2 years. but I’m back on track now finally and trying to get back to making progress. This thread is very inspiring!! thank you all who have shared your lifts and your plans! I’m starting back at the bare bar, but looking forward to making progress again soon!1

Been there. Had wrist surgery last year. It’s hard to essentially start over but just as rewarding as the first time around.

Squat 90kg
Bench 50kg
Deadlift 110kg
These are working sets, not one rep max
My weights in everything else vary depending on the exercise. Sometimes I have 8kg dumb bells in my hands, sometimes 24kg.
Hope that helps0 -

This is an amazing thread! Thank you all for sharing. I always tell people I do "resistance training" because I didn't feel like I was using heavy enough weights to justify saying I lift. Well, *kitten* that, I lift weights!
I've been lifting for about 15 months. 67, 105 pounds. I started after recovery from a tendon injury in my left arm that left me barely able to lift 2 pounds over my head. I train twice a week with a personal trainer.
Dead lift: 115 lbs.
Overhead press: 80 lbs.
Squats; 75 lbs.6 -
It’s good to see I do make progress.
StrongLifts Update:
Squat 140 now 150
Deadlift 185 same
Bench 90 now 1103 -
I wish I could lift heavy, but my long runs take it right out of me, I need recovery time and can't recover from both.
my 1rpm maxs are :
Back squat : 75kg (currently only squatting 30-35kg for 5x10)
Deadlift : 99.5kg (50-60kg for 5x10)
Bench : 45kg (30kg for 5x10)
OHP : 35kg (20kg for 5x10)
Thinking of changing my routine to pyramids in the new year that should see me lifting a little heavier and still able to recover.2 -

I lift what's heavy to me, which is probably not much for most. I'm petite and I have back issues so I need to be careful.3

I’m thinking about training for a marathon. What distances do you run? Also, would be curious to know how you like the new lifting routine when you start.

At the moment I have 2 short 3-6mile runs, a sprint session, hill session, long run is currently 10-13miles but as of new year will be increasing by a mile a week. Plus as I run every day I'll do at least a mile and sometimes more on any day that I haven't got a training run scheduled. Think my total is 25-30miles a week atm and that will be near enough doubling by March1 -

For upper body I usually do 3 sets of 10, for deadlifts, squats, hip thrusts, 3 sets of 20. It's based on the Curves programme of Bret Contreras, started with the Beginner one and just added weight on that.
Deadlift - 60 lbs (my left wrist is very weak and the first to go)
Squat - 37.5 lbs.
Hip thrust - just went to 60 lbs
Row - 27.5 lbs
Bench - 37.5 lbs
Hi ladies,
Quick update on this. I switched to a PHUL-type of training and results have been rather nice.
1RM estimates, via Strong App, converted from kg to lb:
Romanian Deadlift: 176 lb (132*10)
Squat: 180 lb (still weak as hell though. That was calculated from my last 40 kg / 88 lb * 20 reps. I'm scared of going very heavy on squats)
Bench: 92 lb (69*10)
Bicep curl (barbell): 66 lb (55*7)
Bent over one arm row: 52 lb (45*6)
Lat pulldown: 128 (110*6)
OHP: 60 (42*12 today, but it was on the Smith).
Things to work on: squats, deadlifts, OHP, triceps. And more dumbbell work, since there is a strong L-R imbalance. But overall, there was good progress for 5 months.

Benched 65lbs for 4x6
Deadlift 115lbs for 4x6
At the gym and at home.
I do 30-35lbs for single arm rows and for dumbbell bench, depending on the rep range.
Update Start of 2019:
Squat: 135x5
DL 165x5
