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.0

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!!0 -

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:0 -

Benched 405 7 times today with a bad back and a headache.0

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 seriously0 -
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.0 -
