Heavy lifting LADIES (especially those who do stronglifts)

smccb

I am doing Stronglifts 5x5 with my husband, so I am not really sure what to expect for myself. He is already passing me after four weeks. I'd like to see what other women have accomplished so I stop comparing myself to him.

What is your height/weight and what is your personal best at . . .

-squat
-dead lift
-overhead press
-bench press
-barbell row

Thanks!

Hi Sarah, there is a Stronglifts group. Check out groups. I would link you but I don't know how. It is just for women. I'll come back and give you the name.

It's called Stronglifts 5x5 for women. So browse groups and you will find it. You will absolutely love it.

My PRs:
Squat - 165 lbs for reps
Dead lift - 195 lbs for reps
OHP - 65 lbs for reps
BP - 95 lbs for reps (this one is weird for me...there is no dedicated bench press at my gym, so I'm using the incline bench machine. It's not ideal, but the best I have)
Row - 85 lbs for reps.

I've never tried for a one rep max, as I lift by myself and don't want to risk hurting myself. I'm happy with just doing reps.

ETA: I'm 5'4", and currently 188 lbs

Thanks! I have posted the question on the group site.

JTick - thanks for posting your numbers. You are my new inspiration. Wow. I just dead lifted 155 and it was HEAVY. Amazing that you did 195!

I just did some 1 Rep Maxs this morning for the first time

Squat - 145
Deadlift - 155 (although, we did this last and were running out of time - I think I could have added more weight)
OHP - 70

I'm 5' 8" and 147lbs.

have always loved lifting, but never knew how to find my max before today - really fun! Good luck with your lifting!!
