Lifting NSV

Ok, so these numbers aren't really that high, I know, but they're super high for me. Tonight I did assisted pull-ups and I'm pulling up 100 lbs and deadlifts at 95 lb. I still can't squat much more than 65 lbs. b/c I just feel so unstable, pretty sure that's a form problem that I need to correct. I can also do 5 regular push ups... not on my knees, but for real push ups. I just felt like jumping up and yelling, "Who's yo Daddy!" LOL. A month ago I couldn't do any of this. So, so, so happy!

Oh, and those are 5 sets of 5 reps... I could go higher for just 1 (I have no idea what that's called).

That would be called a 1 rep max! And those are all awesome NSVs. Every time you add weight, you will feel so strong and accomplished because it's a visible and measurable progression. You can SEE yourself getting stronger. It's really empowering! Good for you, and keep at it!

way to go!!!

One of my fave things about strength training is that it's not comparable! Heavy is a relative term, so all that matters is that we do better than we did before. You're doing great!!
