    Yay! I finally have numbers to post!

    Here goes
    CW 169
    GW 160

    Squats 130lbs
    DL 155lbs
    Bench 115lbs
    Row 95lbs
    OHP 70lbs

    I'm hoping to hit big girl plates on my squats next week, body weight on my DL by the end of the school year, and big girl plates on my bench by the end of the summer. I would also like to be able to do one GD pull up at some point in my life.

    Everyone will be different and have different goals according to what stage of lifting they're in. That said, here's mine:

    CW: 194 lbs
    GW: I really don't have one, just want lower body fat

    Squats: 175 lbs
    DL: 225 lbs
    Bench: 95 lbs
    Row: 110 lbs
    OHP: 75 lbs

    Thanks Ladies,
    I've only been hanging out in weights section for a short time, so it's great to see how heavy is 'heavy and set some real goals and targets. Obviously everyone is different and we work to our own abilities, so this isn't to compare just see what strong women are capable of.

    hey, D. :flowerforyou:

    Careful! I'm old. You might break something. :mad:

    Seriously though . . . my numbers:

    Weight: 145

    These are what I'm currently working with in a 5x5 platform. No idea what my 1RMs are.

    Squat 145
    Dead Lift 145
    Bench (incline) 80
    OHP (seated) 75

    My goals are (roughly) to be able to squat and DL 2x my body weight and to be able to bench and OHP 1.25 - 1.5x my body weight.

    Not sure what I weigh....I quit weighing myself when I started training for strongman. if I had to guess 180 ish?

    Squat is 240
    Deadlift is 275 for reps (haven't tested my max in a while)
    Bench - also haven't tested my Max for awhile but repping 105
    Over head Log Press- 120

    Goals- To Squat 315 by the end of the year and to deadlift 315 for reps! And to get my Bench up, it's pretty weak compared to other lifts!

    I'm 112lbs right now. My current numbers are so depressing, so I won't bother sharing them lol.

    Here are my goals for the summer:

    Squats: 100lbs
    DL: 100lbs
    Barbell rows: 70lbs
    Overhead press: the bar LOL
    Bench press: the bar /sigh

    173 #

    Most recent working weights- I'm almost a year and a half out from my last PR so I don't think they count
    Bench 155
    Squat 175-185
    Deadlift 265

    Goal- not die at my first power lift meet- hit 300 DL- 250 Squat- I can push harder on all these lifts- but I honestly don't know what my PR is for this year. Would love to break 200 bench- and 300 dead- squats- i have mixed feelings about.

    Wow! I'm super impressed. I just started lifting weights for the first time in my life in July 2013 and love it so far. Have quite a bit of fat to lose, but I'm confident I'll get there. By looking at these lifting numbers, I know I have tons of weight/lifting progression to add slowly to help me reach my goal. ( I'll now quietly leave this thread with my smaller barbells and kettle bells and get back to the gym...ha. ha)

    You ladies are awesome

    My stats so far are
    58kg (128)

    Squats 60kg (132)
    Deadlifts 40kg (88) - Need to work on this, making sure my form is perfect so I don't hurt my back
    Standing press 40kg (88)
    Benchpress 40kg (88)

    I'm doing 3 sets of 10, should I up the weights and do 5x5?
  • Wow! Lots of incredible and inspiring women on here! It's great to see so many women lifting heavy!
    I've only been consistently hardcore lifting for a year and have just recently started having some bigger jumps in weight.
    So here we go:

    CW: 127lbs (16% bf)
    GW: Don't really have one, 13% bf

    Squat: 165lbs (reps)
    Deadlifts: 175lbs (reps)
    Bench: 100lbs (reps)
    Lawnmowers: 45lbs (reps)
    Rows: 110lbs (reps)
    Lat. Pulldown: 110 (reps)

    I don't really have any set goals, mostly just to keep lifting heavier.

    CW: 172 or 173, 28% BF

    PR's (all in pounds):
    Back Squat: 210

    Wow, there is some really impressive lifting here.

    Mostly I see women barely eating on here, and only the guys lifting, so it's really cool to see some ladies working hard with the free weights and putting up big lifts.

    You may not want to call women who lift heavy..."gals".

    What's wrong with the word gals? Everyone calls females "gals" where I am from and men are "guys." I love the word!
