    Starting weights were:

    Deadlifts: 65lbs
    Squats: 45lbs (oly bar only)

    Now (3 months later):

    Deadlifts: 135lbs
    Squats: 75lbs

    For some reason I don't seem to be able to squat much, at least not compared to others. I feel like to keep proper form I need to go light. Also, my legs shake. Is this strange?

    I started exactly where you are. Right now (4 months) I can deadlift 155lbs and only squat 95. It also makes me sad that I haven't been able to progress on the squats!

    When I first started with a NROL using barbell lifts modified to 5x5 sets:

    Squats: 75 lb
    DL: 85 lb
    Bench: 45
    OP: 30
    Row: not sure, did these dumbbell only.

    Now, 2 years later here are my Stronglifts 5x5 sets (NOT 1 RM):

    Squats: 165 lb
    DL: 195 lb
    OP: 55 lb (gains on this are sloooooooooooooow)
    Bench: 80 lb
    Row: 100 lb

    For ref, I'm currently 5' tall, 127 lb. I've made pretty considerable gains on Stronglifts while cutting weight. Slowly cutting weight, that is :) My lifts rocked this week because I went way over on calories over the weekend, lol.
