Squat 465x1, 365x10 (no belt, with knee sleeves)
Deadlift 530x1 (no belt)
Trap bar dead 455x11
Pullups 30 (stopped caring at this point)
Barbell row 225x12[/quote]
how much do you weigh>?[/quote]
4 months late lol
215-220 … lifts are a lot higher now though
Happy to report that one year after double carpel tunnel surgery I am back almost to pre surgery levels.
Some examples:
Incline DB presses 100’s x 10
Military DB Presses 80’s x 7
Front pulldowns 250 x 8
Cable Rows 250 x 8
Don’t go over 365 for 10 on squats as I am still having some iliotibial band and groin issues. Leg press only holds sixteen plates, but I am able to do this with 250 lbs in DB’s stacked on top for sets of 12 to 15
Have not started back on dead lift as of yet. Waiting for some improvement in the ilitibial and groin issues.
All and all, I am just happy to be back in the gym after an almost two year forced layoff.

Finally got my six plate pull. Yes, my fat stubby fingers needed the straps but I made up for it by going beltless and gearless.
Funny thing is I was also operating on sleep deprivation and a shortage of calories (I’m on an extended out of town business trip and haven’t been able to eat the way I like to).[/quote]

Didn’t know where else to post this, but after 5 years of not having been in the gym and gaining 40lbs of flab, this week is the second week of getting back into the game.
Started with keto 3 weeks ago, lost 10lbs and feel better than ever before. Can’t post lifts as of yet ofcourse but it’ll come.
I’ve given myself 6 months to get back to a point where I can feel good about my physical appearance again. I don’t think that on keto it will be much of a problem. All these years on so much sugar and carbs… but better late than never!

I started a keto diet last week. Trying to lose 40lbs by 40th birthday in September. Down 12 pounds (water, I’m sure) so far. Good luck to you.

It’s almost a miracle, such is the change in my system by the change in diet. Good luck to you too!
