    Weight is around 150

    My 1RM for lifts are:

    Squat: 80kg / 176lbs
    Deadlifts: 115kg / 253lbs (in the gym). 125kg / 275lbs (in competition)
    Bench: 60kg / 132lbs
    OHP: 45kg / 99lbs

    Hopefully more for Squat/Bench/Deadlift after today, going for new PR's.

    My goal is to get as strong as possible, although 100/65/140 are the next main ones I have (the next milestone)

    5'2 136lb, GW isn't really on my agenda. Just cutting from my most recent bulk but know I don't want to drop below 130lb most likely.

    Squat-185lb, working my way back up.
    Bench-135lb
    Deadlift-235lb

    I'm not big on the OHP due to shoulder issues. :/

    Impressive stuff, ladies!!!

    Here are my numbers:

    CW: 211lbs
    GW: whatever...right now, I would just like to get stronger and lower my BF%

    Squat: 215lbs
    Bench: 120lbs (last tested my 1RM several months ago, likely higher now)
    Deadlift: 225lbs (several months ago; need to retest my 1RM)
    Front Squat: 160lbs
    Clean: 120lbs
    OHP: 80lbs (my shoulders be weak, yo!)

    Goals - Keep getting stronger!!! (But 1.5xBW squats and 2.0xBW deads would be awesome!)

    Weight: 125

    Squat: 130 calculated 1RM, 125 tested 2 RM
    Deadlift 175 tested 1RM
    Bench 85 tested 1RM

    Forgot goals.

    I'd like to squat my body weight for reps, hit 200 lbs on deadlift, and bench 100. I'm bulking right now so hopefully all of those things will happen.

    You ladies absolutely amazing! Hoping to work my way up to these big numbers I'm seeing from everyone :)

    Stats: 5'3", 135 lbs

    Maxes for the big 3 lifts:
    Squat: 140 lbs
    Deadlift: 200 lbs
    Bench: 95 lbs

    My lifting goals at this time are to deadlift 4 plates total and to eventually bench my body weight! Also wanna get back up to that squat max, had to deload by quite a bit when I switched my lifting regime.

    I don't know my 1RMs, but my working weights (5x5):

    Bench press: 95-100
    Squat: 105
    RDL: ~120 (haven't done it in a bit ...see below)
    OHP: 65

    My current weight is about 133.

    I'm just barely back to the gym after a 5-week or so hiatus. I'm in the last part of my first trimester of pregnancy, and morning sickness was no fun. But I'm still lifting. I dropped the weights down 5-10 pounds because of the long gap of not lifting and because I don't want to overdo it; haven't done the RDL since I got back to the gym, so that's why it's a guess.

    And yes, I do have my OB's clearance to lift :wink:

    CW: 135
    GW: not really sure. Like, Holly, just looking to cut a bit of BF from by 11 lb bulk over the winter.

    All work weight, haven't calculated 1RM in a while:

    Squat: 185
    Deadlift: 220
    Bench: 100

    I hate OHP and jack my neck/shoulder constantly trying to go heavy on it, so I'm not anymore.

    My goals are just to continue to get stronger. I want to hit 200 lbs for my work weight on squats and DL 2x bodyweight eventually.

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

    What's wrong with "gals"? I wasn't aware I was supposed to be offended by that one.


    CW: 155
    GW: 150

    Squats: 6 x 120
    Bench: 5 x 115
    Deads: 6 x 175

    I restarted lifting in September after a shoulder injury, and my working weights are below.

    Weight: 150 pounds

    Deadlift: 5 x 195 pounds
    Squat: 1 x 180 pounds
    Bench: 1 x 100 pounds
    OHP: 1 x 75 pounds

    ETA: My goals for this year are to be able to squat and deadlift 2x my body weight, to bench my body weight, and to get over 100 pounds on my OHP.

    I don't have any current 1RM that have been tested so I'll just list out my current rep PRs.

    Weight: 165lbs, goal weight of 150lbs
    Squat: 172.5x2
    Deadlift: 215x5
    Bench: 87.5x6
    OHP: 77.5x2

    My goals this year are to break 200lbs again on my back squat, hit 300lbs for my deadlift, bench big girl plates and break 100lbs on my OHP.

    I started lifting heavy in January. I'm 5'2", about 133 lbs. The numbers I have so far:

    Squats: 125lbs
    Deadlifts: 135 lbs
    Bench - 65 lbs

    I do three sets of 10 reps with these.

    ETA: I don't have specific goals for weights at this time. I am working on being able to do unassisted chinups as well. I also don't have a goal weight in mind for myself, building strength is what I'm striving for :drinker:

    GW: 150ish

    I haven't tested my ORM in quite a while, so here are my 1+ numbers for my 5/3/1 week:

    Deadlift: 210 lbs
    Squat: 200 lbs
    Bench: 70ish pounds - my last gym didn't have a real bench, so this lift is way behind but slowly catching up.
    OHP: 80 lbs

    @ OP: As far as setting goals go, if you are just starting squatting / deadlifting your body weight is a good goal to work towards. It may take some time depending how strong you are. I'm aiming for my BW and a half now but not quite there yet ;)

    Weight: 122(ish)

    Squat: 165x1
    Dead: 155x3
    Bench: 105x1

    other stuff i'd have to look up on fito to remember.

    5'5 174lbs. I've only started lifting these past 3 months with no real training so it's not very heavy yet. I'm about to switch to 5x5, but sadly since I go to Planet Fitness they dont have all the equiptment I need *cant do deadlifts because they dont have a bar and plates, and they dont have a squat rack so I have to use a smith machine :(*

    CW:174
    GW: 140

    Squat: 60
    Bench press: 50
    Row: 75
    Curl: 15
    Leg Press: 150

    Still in the learning phase of weight lifting, we worked on overhead squats today UUUGGGHHH, so much to think about and learn to do this correctly.

    I know you didn't ask so feel free to disregard, but I think maybe overhead squats should wait until you're more at the intermediate stage. I'd personally recommend sticking with the basics when you're starting out.

    What program are you doing?

    I would assume it's a CrossFit program. Overhead squats were pretty routine in most workouts, however, they were never part of the strength focus at the gyms that I've been too. Form was taught and practiced, but we never did programming for them like 5x5 or max effort.
