    Started doing Stronglifts back in December of last year. With the exception of DLs and rows, I do all my lifts with dumbbells, without the assistance of a rack, so they're a bit nerfed weight wise.

    Current 3x5 numbers:

    DB squats: 150 lbs (body weight)
    DB OHP: 60 lbs
    DB Bench: 70 lbs

    Deadlift: 205 lbs
    Rows: 90 lbs

    I'm sort of slow at progressing because I went years without LBM from a decade's worth of anorexia--but when I started, even lifting a 10lb dumbbell was work. That being said, based on lifting the last 7 months (went from a sort of cobbled together program to essentially Stronglifts 5x5), I now do (as of yesterday):

    5x5
    OHP 50
    DL 125
    Squat 110
    Bench 65
    Row 70

    I'm interested in height and weights with the stats, otherwise the numbers don't mean anything to me.

    I'm sure I'll be fussed at because I don't know what every lift is called. I just try to mix up different things my trainer has shown me in the past and hit my biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, and legs. I typically do 3 sets of 12 reps for each lift, and I do this 2X/week:

    Biceps: 15lbs each arm and 30lbs curls on the pulley machine thingie :ohwell:
    Triceps: 15lbs behind my head lifting up and 30lbs pulling down on the pulley machine thingie
    Chest press (?): 15lbs in each hand
    Back & Shoulders: 10lb bent rows (my back is weak, working on strengthening it), hands on top of the bar and then hands under the bar
    Legs: 55lbs extending my legs and 55lbs bending my legs, plus lots of lunges and squats just using body weight

    I really should get my trainer to tell me exactly what I'm doing, and I would love to get some advice!

    I really love this!! This is exactly what I am doing...and same thign with the trainer!! I dont know what the crap it is all called, but I am doing it!

    Curls, rows, the whole Funcercize beginners workout ( I just follow the video and work along, I don't pay attention to what the moves are called), using 5 lb. dumbbells. I do about 60 crunches and about 40 squats using weights for the squats. Progress has been excellent. Once in a while I'lll do some of it with 8-lb. weights, if I'm not too sore from hauling manure..

    Squats : 65 lbs ( not much, but hey, you gotta start somewhere! )
    LegPress : 180 lbs
    Standing Calf raise : 230 lbs

    :)

    That squat size is no start baby! Good job!!!! :))

    When gals are putting up these squat numbers....what machine or how are you doing these? With weights to the side? Or barbell on shoulders?
