Sets of 7-8 weighted pull-ups with a 45 lb dumbbell between my ankles... sets of 8-9 weighted dips with a 45 lb dumbbell between my ankles. I haven't tried for a 1 x maximum on either yet.2

Aww shucks you guys, I will never lift like you, but have just skipped home from the gym after reaching a goal.
I deadlifted 105 lbs. it was just 1, but I did it! Just over my bodyweight.
I get so excited with all these little accomplishments- very fortuitous that this post was here so I could share it. I was bursting to tell someone.
Cheers, h.21 -

Those are the best. They aren't little accomplishments either. Congratulations.2 -

Get it!!!!!2 -
I refrain from hurting parents who put their own desires above their children's basic needs and blame everyone but themselves
Being able to squat 3 sets of 75kg (165lbs) x 8 helps me retain my sanity and not punch people7 -
When I was able to do dips unassisted... (I was only able to do 3)....but I was soooooooooooo proud of myself....5

bench pressing a 55lbs on each side...6

Physical strength, or internal strength?3

the greatest feat of strength was more of a journey to overcome the pain, after breaking and dislocating my right wrist which was screwed back together and also having a fractured elbow it was difficult to curl a broomstick.
after working my way through the range of motion with light weights , I joined the gym and convinced myself I would succeed in benching and curling more then I ever had in the past. it took some time to get there
but at my peak fitness level I had benched over 375lbs and was curling over 150lbs.
I will get there again .. see you at the gym!3 -

Impressive! Congrats! Looks like we have some very strong women on MFP.
I just did a 300 1RM DL and 225 1RM SQT but I've only been "training" for 5 months. My other excuses are that I'm a 66 year old male weakling at 165 and am still on a deficit diet.
So, I should still have some upside potential. LOL!

Greatest athletic feat was finishing a 100 mile ultramarathon, I consider that a feat of strength.
Heaviest I've ever lifted is this morning when I pulled 405x5 conventional deadlift. Very happy with that, on March 28th when I started lifting weights I was at just 205x5.12 -
My 545 dead is still my crowning achievement. Someday it will be 600...10

4 one arm pull ups...right side...dropped down....3 one arm pull ups on the left side. Both times the other arm was hanging (no grabbing the wrist thing crap)
I also did 2 one arm, one finger pulls up (used webbing) with the other arm hanging.
Or I did one pull up with 160 pounds attached by a chain. I weighed 140 pounds at the time
I was a rock climber for 10 years...used to do 600 pull ups in hour....10 a minute
Stupid human tricks I called them5 -
I did one chin-up, and haven't been able to do it again. Oh well, I'll keep trying.6

Squared 370 @ a body weight of 155 back when I was competing as in power lifting1

Not currently lifting because of illness but my greatest feat of strength was when I returned to lifting after having to take 9 months off which included not being able to squat down to pick something up without help getting back up to being able to do all so 5*5 with all the progressions as suggested for squats, DL and rows and squat over my bw and DL 1.5 x over bw. I can't wait to restart again4

I'm up around 300 on hip thrusts. I haven't done them in awhile because I cut out accessories before my powerlifting meet. Interested to see where I am in the 3 rep range within the next few weeks.

Not much of a feat in comparison to everyone else on this thread, but I can do 90+ squats with 20 lbs (which is a BIG step up from being on the verge of collapse after 10 unweighted ones, lol).5

I really wish I'd written down a lot more things way back in the day. The 2 that stand out are benching 340 @ 180lbs. And doing a back lever in front of a whole group of people at a certification the 1st time I ever tried it. I strained so hard to hold it I popped little blood vessels around my eyes.1
