In 295 days of weight lifting,

Rae6503

my squat weight has increased 133%. :happy:



That chart is from my weight lifting app JEFIT.

You are a BAMF.

Neat. I need to start tracking my numbers too but they're too pathetic right now. Plus I never do PR attempts either. I should, I suppose.

How do you get those weird numbers ending in 7.5lb increments? Just curious.

I don't do PR attempts either. The app calculates my 1 rep-max based on the reps I do. So since I can do 1x5x135 (although I almost did 3 sets, it only uses one) it somehow guesses that my 1 rep max is 157.5.

Oh I see. I wonder how accurate it is. You should try it to see if you can actually squat 155/160. I just hit a calculator and it says I could deadlift almost 300. That seems like a stretch but maybe I'll try it out...

I adore you.

Squat is one exercise I will never actually try a 1RM on because form is so important to a squat and not injuring yourself.

Good job on the increases! Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I might do it on bench though (with a spotter). Might be fun. My form also suffers on deadlifts if I try to heavy, so I probably wouldn't try it on that either.

You are amazing!

Great gains. Never be afraid of a 1rm. Just make sure you take the time to learn proper form and technique. Also, just make sure you don't do them repeatedly. I find working in a wave pattern for weights in my major lifts allows for a new PR attempt every month or so. Just follow 1rm weeks with a deload week.

Love it when you post your graphs. Bamf, indeed!
