I've only just started SL 5X5, I'm into week 3. I started with just the bar (45lbs) except with squats and DL (squats I started at 55lbs, DL 60lbs) and as of yesterday I'm at 55lbs (25kg) for bench press, 50lbs (22.5kg) OHP, 115lbs (52kg) DL, 75lbs (34kg) squat, and 75lbs (34kg) barbell row. I'm loving the program so far!

I've just finished up my third cycle of 5/3/1, woot! Current max lifts:

Squats - 6 x 135 lbs (1 RM calc at 169 lbs)
Bench presses - 6 x 85 lbs (1 RM calc at 107 lbs)
Deadlifts - 7 x 110 lbs (1 RM calc at 140 lbs)
Overhead press - 3 x 70 lbs (1 RM calc at 87 lbs)

Definitely noticed improvements from when I first started (example: could barely lift 60 lbs over my head), and can see some awesome muscles to boot

Keep it up, ladies!

I've been lifting off and on for a really long time, so I don't know what my "starting" weights were. Anyway, doesn't matter where you start, as long as you keep working for progress!

Right now, I am at

Deadlift: 220
DB chest press: 5 x 40 (in each hand; don't have a bench 1RM)
Squat: 5 x 105 (don't have a 1RM)
OHP: 8 x 55 (don't have a 1RM)

I can also lift a 150# Atlas stone, which I'm pretty damn proud of!

Finally I got the url right!

Started lifting about a 18 months ago, with starting the with 45 lb bar for squats and bench, 65 lbs for deadlift, and 30 lbs for overhead press.

Fast forward to now and I compete in powerlifting, with maxes of 180 for the squat, 95 for the bench (which is my suckiest lift), and 280 for the deadlift. Aiming to try for the 300 lb deadlift in a few months at my next powerlifting meet. I haven't tested my overhead press in a while, but would estimate my max to be around 70 lbs.

I have added 1 inch to thighs, calves, and biceps in the past 7 months or so. (This is good news for my skinny legs!). I looked at my back in the mirror while flexing, maybe for the first time ever, and WOW I have shoulders. And today I had to move my bra band fastener from the largest setting to the smallest. So ab fat is slooowwly leaving.

Since March, 2012. Weight: 105 kg / 230 lbs

I had knee surgery in Feb, 2012 so started off with just bodyweight for most movements, as I was lifting as rehab.

However, I had done BodyPump classes prior to surgery, so I was probably deadlifting/squatting the equivalent of just the bar before that.

I am currently training for a powerlifting competition in March:

My PB's are:

Paused Bench: 70kg x 1 (154lbs)
OHP: 40kg x 1 (88lbs)
Squats: 105kg x 5 x 3 (230lbs)
Deadlift: 125kg x 2 (275lbs)

I competed in a Push/Pull in December, and won a silver medal for my weight range.
