    Leg and hip injuries prevent me from lifting heavy on squats and deadlifts, so I only max on bench press.

    I hit 275lbs on bench last night. That’s up from 230lbs when I started lifting in December.

    For six months I'm happy where I'm at (except for skwaat, because I didn't skwaat, cause cycling)

    225lbs Skwaat
    225lbs Bench, paused
    350lbs deadlift

    BW: 73kg/160lbs

    Hoping by 12 months I can get close to 315/250/405. Deadlift might be a stretch, squat if I decide to work on it is basically untrained.

    Haha I had a dance and acrobats background that I think helped me start out a little higher than being a true beginner. And those are awesome numbers! I want to break 200 on my squat so bad!

    Ok...never lifted before, but realized 8 months ago that I want a beachbody the summer when I'm forty. So far dropped 23 pounds , but still at 222. Started loosing in january), and still looking to drop another 40 before next juli, so will try to maintain my lifts the best I can.

    Bench: 243
    Squat: 350
    Dead: 445

    My bench is by far my weakest lift.

    I'm thinking about doing a meet in a couple of weeks. I haven't competed since last October. I have not been training with anything real heavy and I have lost 30 pounds since then. I did a test week last week to gauge where I am. At 53 years old, and down 30 pounds in body weight, I did a 525 pound squat, 335 bench and deadlifted 525 in the gym without maxing out. I should be able to squat 545, bench 325 and deadlift 575 in a meet in a few weeks based on those numbers. We'll see. I'm not really in competition form yet but it's worth a shot.

    Thank you. I won't be hitting any personal bests but I think I can still win the masters division and place in the open class if I can make all of my lifts. It's a National meet though so you never know who is going to show up.

    Your squatting and deadlifting your bodyweight and Benching half your bodyweight. That's a great start. At 105 pounds, your simply not going to be lifting monster weights, but, pound for pound, your doing well. Keep up the good work.

    Good numbers. I have lifted alone most of my life. Training partners are nice but they come and go. At the end of the day, it's you, the iron, and your addiction to lifting. Nice work.

    Great job! I compete with USAPL too! Have you qualified for Nationals yet? I qualified last year and will try to qualify for 2019 Nationals at Regionals in August
    Yep @PowerliftingMom. Nats is easy -- you just need a QT in any meet in the last two years as an M1. Raw Nats, if I recall is more difficult, I need 570 for my age/weight class. Did that two years ago.

    I'll be at Raw Nats in Chicago, 2019.

    Raw Nats M3 and older just need a total. Hopefully I will be in Chicago too in 2019! :smiley:

    Hope to see you there! I only live 80 miles from Chicago so I am not going to miss this one. (And I'll also be a refereeing so I will probably be there all week.)
