I’m in the middle of/recovering from being sick for nearly a month, so I haven’t been posting in here.
I’m working up to a BW x 12 standing overhead press. I’m starting [very] slow. Good news is that these are definitely making my shoulders feel better.
I did PR by finally being able to one arm press my 55lb kettlebell.
335 x 1 on deadlift and 255 x 1 on squat on tuesday and thursday. Big PR week for me 
Just two months ago I failed at 315 and 245.
Today:
wide grip pull up + 55lbs x1
bench press 165lbs x1
deadlift 310lbs x1
at a bodyweight of 157lbs. No, these aren’t big numbers, but they’re the best I’ve had so far. And mind you, I was 130 before I started - at age 26. so, there you go.

Looks like a good start to me. Well done.

It’s funny how these numbers - apart from the bench, which sucks - turn me into one of the strongest guys at my gym… aiming for 200 bench, 400 dead and one arm pull up.

are you powerlifting or something? only 1 rep?
I was just testing my maxes since I’ll be away for a week and have loads of time to recover from it 
Well here’s some of today’s
sumo deadlift
an iffy 315X1, and a 305X1
good mornings
195X5
zercher squats
195X5 and lol night hawk, it is sad how weak the average person is, you could bench 135 for reps, or deadlift 250 and you would be the strongest person in the room 90% of the time.
90x11 bicep curl
Not really. The bench press is the one barbell exercise everybody does at my gym (cough beach muscles cough) and I’ve seen enough people rep 175, which is fairly decent for general fitness. Never seen anyone bench more than 250 though, the most impressive feat I’ve seen was a guy squatting 300 for an easy 10.
Just realized that OHP is a PR from a week ago (stalled out since).
Overhead press
155x5x3
Bench
190x3x5
Have my back squat at 350.lbs and my front squat at 275.lbs currently. In the past year they have both increased more than 50.lbs.
Overhead press has been stuck at 135x5 for a bit, probably technique related and needing stronger triceps. My arms are a weakness.
Over time you start to pick up on subtle things that help or hurt your progress.
I put 90 lbs on my weighted dip belt and busted out 4 reps on friday
250 for 5 on bench
Field, I was stuck at 140 forever on OHP. Turned out to be a grip issue. I was going way too wide.
250lbs pin press for pretty easy single. DB row 100lbs for 7 no straps.
205X5 zercher squat and a
215X5 clean pull that was rather easy.
285X1 squatting
Just last week I hit two pr’s for myself…
315x2 squat, and 345 deadlift. Bench and ohp aren’t so pretty though… Going to try for a new 1rm of 225 on bench today. Here’s to hoping for 2!
150X5 close grip incline press (oh my shoulders just ‘loved’ this)
160X3 close grip floor press
15X8 weighted wide neutral grip chin up (haven’t done these before)
115X4 bradford press
165X6 of similar row as pendlay rows except with wider grip (same deal haven’t dome them before so not sure if it counts) 136 body weight.
