    that's awesome! I just started lifting and my DL is 50lb I would love to do half of my BW!!!

    do you have any tips as far as form goes?

    I feel like I'm doing the movement in 2 stages as opposed to one smooth motion...

    Congrats on hitting a goal! It's always fun to hit targets in terms of body weight.

    I watched a lot of form related videos and keep watching it, so that i will catch something i have missed. I also have a mirror to check form.

    As mentioned, you could post a form check video so that the experts can take a look at it...

    Good Job

    I have "Little" goals too in my profile and change it to add in the date so I can look back if I am feeling discouraged...ie a deload...;)

    Woohoo. I always tend to think of the weights as a % of BW - I am only fairly small so my PR might be weedy in real terms but compared with my BW it makes me feel quite proud
