    Just coming to the end of stage 1 and i'm squatting and d-lifting 50kg which is approx 110lbs which I'm hapy with at the moment. I need to invest in some 2.5kg plates as my smallest plates are 5kg so I have to increase 10kg at a time, I tried 60kg on my last set of 8 and only managed 6 reps so not quite there yet: :)

    I'm 5'10" and weigh 160lbs

    I have a question because I just did day 4 of NROLW. Are you including the weight of the bar in these numbers?

    With the bar included today I did 95 on the deadlift and on the squat a couple days ago 50 pounds. But that is assuming that in both cases the bar is 45 pounds, correct?

    I'm 5'6 and weigh 112.
  • I just finished Stage 2 on Friday and I'm up to 145 dead lifts (from a box) and up to 175 squats.

    I can squat and deadlift 135 pounds x 8 reps. I usually do 125 x 8, 125 x 8, 135 x8. Next week, I will try to do 125 x 8, 135 x8, 135 x 8. My goal is to squat and deadlift my body weight x 8 reps (170).

    Finished New Rules. Now on Stronglifts about 6 weeks in, Squat 125 5X5, deadlift 155 5 reps only. I am 5 2 1/2 and stuck at 136. Trying to get back to 127. Other than frustratingly slow weight loss, NOTHING has changed my body and my fitness like strength training. Love lifting heavy.

    I think people are including the bar (I am, it's heavy!) Yes, a standard bar is 45lbs.

    I can squat 135lbs (3 sets of 10) with proper form. I got up to around 150 lbs but I couldn't get all the way down and up with 150lbs for 10 reps.

    I can deadlift 115 lbs (3 sets of 10)

    I"m 5'6" and 140 lbs.
  • I'm going to be starting this on Monday, but I don't go to the gym, just lift at home. Anyone else using free weights? Reading through this I'm already concerned that I don't have enough weight! Gah!

    1. How much do you squat and deadlift
    2. For how many reps/sets?
    3. Your height and weight


    Squat: 70
    Deadlift: 85
    reps right now 2x12 (following the program)
    5'4" and at this posting weigh 280 (that hurt to type.)

    Lol, I just started - so not doing deadlifts yet, but today:

    1. Squat - bar + 10lbs (50 lbs. total I *think* - need to ask next time I'm there how much it weighs!)
    2. 15 reps, 2 sets (60 sec. rest in between)
    3. 5'6" and 151 pounds.

    I'm pretty proud of myself! :)

    If you are using the 7 feet long oly bar, it is 45 lbs. + the 10 lbs. in plates that is 55 lbs.!
  • Squat = 155 lbs 4 x 8
    DL - It is embarrassing, but I haven't done DL's for a while. I do romanian style deadlifts on lower body days though, at 135 lbs 4 x 10. My glutes and hamstrings thank me. But this thread has inspired me to throw DL's back into the routing :-)

    I am 5'-4" 143 lbs. 22%BF.

    squat 115 and DL 122
    I have done Stage 1 A7 and B6 so ready to up my DL
    so both those were 3 sets of 8

    I'm 5'7 and 160lbs
    still blooming 33%BF but dropped 3% since starting this so have to at least see that as progress - just still a long way to go!

    ETA I'm 60, 5'4" and 160

    I did 7a today (stage one) and squatted 75lbs. My 6a deadlift on wednesday was 65lbs. I feel really strong, but I realize I'm a weakling after reading through this thread :). Most of you can DL higher weight then squat....interesting. I find DL's much more challenging.

    Just started stage 2.
    Squat 67
    DL 102

    My numbers are always weird because my bar weighs 12 pounds.

    I'm on stage one, but I'm repeating. When I started NROL4W, I got up to the end of stage 3, then started doing split days with my in-laws, now I'm restarting New Rules. So I'm on stage 1 for a second time.

    Last time I was at the gym, I did 3 sets of 10 squats at 135, 145, and 150.
    For deadlifts, I did 2 sets of 12 (I'm about to do the 3 sets workout today) at 95 and 100.

    I've just got the last four workouts to go in stage 1, and currently doing:

    Squat - 88lb/35kg
    DL: 99lb/40kg

    The mini barbells my gym has only go up to 40kg, so I'm going to stick with that for the next week,.... will have to look at going into the scary scary body builders gym if they are part of the later stages (it's always full and only with VERY big, very young, very scary looking blokes)

    I know I started off vastly underestimating my strength, but even so, I'm amazed at how well I've done:love: No real weight loss though - or noticeable muscle tone/body recomp yet. Ho Hum. Will be measuring at the end of the stage and hope for some nice numbers, but not convinced.... But so much stringer, and happy with that TBH

    Wow, I am always so impressed by the stats I see posted here--nice job ladies! To provide some inspiration for those of you beginning the program, I’ll give my starting and current weights, both my bodyweight and my lifting weights!

    THEN: Stage 1 (started somewhere around April and completed it twice)
    31 yrs, 5’5”, 138 pounds and very out of shape!

    Squat: 17.5 lb dumbbells 3x8
    Deadlift: 17.5 lb dumbbells 3x8



    NOW: Stage 5 (finishing tonight)
    A little older, no taller, but much smaller and much stronger at 120 pounds

    Squat: 135 lbs 4x4
    Deadlift: 140 lbs 4x4


    p.s./disclaimer-- I have been doing regular back squats (no fronts) and deadlifts (no box) throughout the program based on my home gym setup (no chance of eventually doing cleans or snatches in there due to low ceiling) and personal goals (have fun, get strong, make belly & thighs stop jiggling).

    I'm in the middle of stage one (just completed 5A last night)

    1. Squats: 45kg (99lb)
    2. Deadlifts: I *can* do 55kg (121lb) but only for a couple of reps - in keeping with the programme, I can properly do 45kg (99lb)
    3. Height: 5'0" - Weight: 54.5kg (120lb)
