    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 lbs

    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!

    Stats:
    145lbs

    Squat: 135x20, 145x15, 185x10, 225x8 1rm 320
    Bench press 95x12, 115x6, 135x3
    Overhead press. 65x10, 95x8, 110x3. 1rm 135
    Db rows. 55x10 65x8 75x6-7.
    Dead lift 110x15, 135x8 215x5.

    AMAZING NUMBERS!

    My highest squat is 85x5 (had to deload to get the correct form)
    Bench 90x5
    OHP 65x5 (can't get past this!)
    Rows 105x5
    Deadlift 145x5

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 70

    Hey lady! I thought we could both benefit from this thread. Have you started Stronglifts yet? I'm excited to hear about it.

    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.

    You are right. I am getting tons of information here. I am still lurking on the SL's 5x5. I haven't started it yet because I have been sick. I am so excited to start SL's that I have not finished NROL (just can't get into those lunges). Taking a week off of heavy lifting and going to do my dvd's (weights and cardio) and start strong lifts April 8. Trying to soak up as much info as I can because I'm still not sure how long you do the program or where I can get some to the log sheets.
