cracked my fibula so havent been able to squat in quite some time0 -
29 years old, 5'1" & 106 lbs and have been lifting for about 5-6 weeks, 3 times weekly on calorie restriction.
I squat 70 lbs
deadlifted 65 but could do more the problem is that I can't get the heavier ones back on the rack :-( could probably do a lot more.
bench dumbells, 2 X 25 lbs = 50 lbs
chest press 2 X 15 llbs = 30 lbs
one arm dumbell row = 25 or 30 lbs0 -
Yes it all depends on your goals. Think you're on the right track! Just keep pushing and change your workouts every 4-6 weeks. This will keep u from hitting a plateau.
I have NROW! But haven't had the chance to dive into it. Would like to see your progress add me as a friend if u like!

145lbs
Squat: 135x20, 145x15, 185x10, 225x8 1rm 320

I weigh quite a bit more than you (lots more fat to lose), but I've been doing Stronglifts for about 4 weeks now. Last workout was squat @ 65, bench @ 55, barbell row @ 55. Next workout will be squat @ 70, overhead press @ 50 (by far my weakest), deadlift @ 85. I really worked on form, especially on squats, the first 2 workouts and didn't increase weight. Since then, I've only increased weight when I've completed the whole 5x5 without losing form. If I lose form, I don't count the rep.0

If you're curious about what level you're lifting at for the oly lifts, check this site out....it's based on your body weight and how long you've been lifting.

Doesn't matter what weight you are you can squat however much you put in your mind to squat, you got this! Just keep working at it!!
Here is mine:
25 years old
Weight: 125-127 lbs
Squat: 95 lbs / 12 reps for 3 sets 1 rep max is: 155 lbs (video link on my profile)
Deadlift: 70 lbs / 10 reps for 3 sets
Overhead press: n/a
Bench press: 70 of 8 reps for 2 sets
Straight Leg Deadlift: 60 lbs of 12 reps for 3 sets0 -
I am doing a 5/3/1 program.
My stats:
5'8"
155#
Right now my lifts are:
Bench: 75 x15
OHP: 65x8
Squat: 190x2
Dead: 185x30 -
Right now I'm doing some circuit work with reps at 10 so my numbers tend vary based on what the previous exercise was, etc.
So, currently:
I'm not sure of my exact weight...but around 145 lbs at 5'7"
Bench: 75
OHP: I haven't done just this in a while. My clean and press is 60 so I'd guess my overhead would be around there
Squat: 145 x 15 reps
Dead Lift: My hams are a weak spot for me, but recently I've just done one legged dead lifts at approximately 40-45 per leg for 10-15 reps each
I'll be switching from circuits to traditional lifts fairly soon, so I'm guessing my lifts could change.0 -
Just started lifting seriously 9 weeks ago, some of these lifts I've never done before, so form is something I'm incredibly serious about; don't want get injured, plus of course I want everything out of the exercise I'm supposed to get.
30 years old, 5'6", maintaining ~140
I typically do 5 sets, 3-5 reps
Deadlift 135
Squat 90
Bench 75
Clean 65
Push Press 700 -
To all the ladies who replied, thank you so much! Those numbers are very motivating. I'm sending each of you a friend request, would love to have other lady lifters in my friends list.0

Thank you! Yes, I am doing stronglifts. I love it! My upper body is also weak. My legs have always been my strongest. I started years ago doing Jorge Cruise's 8 Minutes in the morning- a mix of pilotes and light barbells. I have continually added programs and heavier weights. I went to strengthanmuscles site, and we also have a bowflex(my husband loves that). I prefer free weights. I never knew I could enjoy lifting so much. I love that women can heavy lift too! Not shooting to look like a body builder, just want to be very toned and fit!!!
I am 55 yrs old, and I am 5' 1.0 -
