    I don't even know what the numbers you guys are saying mean. I do I guess 3 sets with my personal trainer of different things, one thing I specifically asked about was my lying down bench press which was 105 pounds for 6 reps. I need to review this thread to see what else I should be doing.

    I know this is kind of an old post but I just found it. I weigh 110 lbs now and here's what I do. All are 3-4 sets of 6-10 unless o/w noted.

    Squat- 220 lbs
    shoulder press- 35 lb dumbbells
    leg press- 400 lbs. max machine will go (can't use angled one, hurts my back)
    seated calf press- 380 lbs, 3 sets of 15
    dumbbell chest press- 40 lbs each (just got to 2 sets of 4 with the 45's)
    skull crushers- 50 lbs
    sldl- 140 lbs

    That's the most of it. If I knew what was involved in spotting, and could get one of the few other women at my gym that lift anything over 20 lb dumbbells to spot me I may be able to do better. Anyone got advice on this?

    I don't do "weights". I lift my own weight doing pole.

    I've never been one to "pump iron".

    best recent deadlift is 340 for a raw single
    raw bench 160 on a good day
    squat lately have just been doing raw high rep stuff up to ~155 but can hit 200+ pretty confidently for a single. I put on my big girl pants (single ply) a couple months ago & trained with my old team & got 305 but was a little high (they called it ~1" above parallel).

    Wow, that's nice to get that support and feedback. I just watch bodybuilding.com instructional videos and do my best to mimic and look in the mirror when I can. ha ha.

    I got a neurological disease in 2011 which left me with impaired balance. It is not safe for me to carry plates from the rack to the bench anymore so I mostly use machines nowadays. My weights are in kilos with thumb-less grip, except for the curls.

    Machine bench: 3x8 @ 61 kg
    Machine row: 3x 8 @ 88 kg
    Lat pulldown: 1x8 @ 57 kg and 2x8 @ 55 kg
    Leg press: 3x12@ 91 kg (have done heavier in the past, but my knees don't like it)
    Machine shoulder press: 1x8 @ 34 kg and 2x8 @ 31 kg
    Dumbell curl 3x8 @ 9 kg
