    It sounds really little, but I can do pushups for a full minute and can hold a plank for a full minute. And I can get thru boot camp without dieing. I just started exercising 4 mts ago. I have never exercised before. So that is a big accomplishment for me.

    Ooooh, I am doing NROL4W (just started a few weeks ago) and I was able to dead-lift 135lb today 3sets/8 reps. I was very happy :) I upped my weights in everything but dead-lifting over my body weight felt really awesome!

    Thanks for letting me share!!

    Yeah girl! How many pushups do you do in a minute? I've never tried that!

    I'm tempted to try now, but my FL just advised me not to do pushups before lifting tomorrow. :grumble: :laugh:

    That's awesome Sandi! 40 is a great number! I probably couldn't do 40 in a row, even if you gave me 10 mins! haha! :bigsmile:

    Edit: Coz I apparently can't speak English today!! GUR!:frown:

    50 straight burpees is bad *kitten* :smile:

    I did a 100 burpees challenge for time once. Did it in 7min50secs. Felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest!

    Benched 405 7 times today with a bad back and a headache.

    Hit 335x4.5 today on squats (I say 4.5 because my last rep wasn't solid...it was a rep, but I didn't drop far enough). Followed it with 275x5, and 275x7 just because. I think I need to up my deload weights next week until I can barely scrape out 5 and 6 reps respectively.

    Not too bad for 180lbs I think. Slowly creeping up on 2x bodyweight :).

    That's awesome man! I get calculated 1rm of 380lbs. Great stuff!

    Edit: YEW! First :laugh:

    See you can do 340 :P


    Great work tho seriously

    I hit a new PR on the bench press tonight. I never have a spotter so I use the power rack but still am a little timid. Tonight I lifted 135 lbs and was okay with it. I got 5 reps out of it - 2 sets. I'd done previous sets at a lower weight.

    Incline leg press still working at 820 lbs. I got 8 reps out of this tonight... again I'd done previous sets at a lighter weight (730 lbs).

    Feeling strong.

    The headache alone makes this completely badass!
