@wdcstaffserv If anything it seems to me there's just a really wide spread range in terms of what people are lifting. Which makes a lot of sense in terms of how different everybody's age/ prior fitness/ seriousness of training/ nutrition all are. Interesting your 1 RM are higher than expected...

@wdcstaffserv Thanks for this! But do those seem reasonable to you? I've been lifting just under a year (10 months to be precise) and I can do at least the intermediate category in all the lifts I do. Just curious what the people here do anyways.

@thaonguyen225 Is there any reason you bench and squat so close to the same weight in training?

@bigsarge That's awesome! I'd love to be deadlifting 330# in another year.

@christiantotheworld Haha I stalked your profile a little bit and we even seem to have similiar frustrations with dl. But we'll get there one day!

@andy1993 At 5'6" and 130# I started doing strong lifts without testing my 1RM, so I think that was starting with just the bar for everything except deadlifts where you start with 95. About six months in I quit doing stronglifts. At that point I was benching 85, squatting 155 and deadlifting...

@surendered12345678 Damn, you're killing it.

@alexhunting Man, a good PT/ sports medicine doctor would be great to have. My issues are autoimmune so I just see a rheumatologist but he doesnt seem to have any knowledge about exercise/ lifting. I definitely know how hard it can be to respect your body over your ego but it's so worth it...

@alexhunting Chronic pain is the worst. Good on you for getting back at it though. Have you modified your lifting at all around your issues? I have spinal arthritis/ tendonitis so I'm always interested in how people manage chronic illness and fitness.

@1fish Yup. I bench with absolute glee and am always slipping at least a few sets in to my workouts even if it's not scheduled so it's no suprose to ne that my bench is more impressive than my other stuff.

@1fish It's been really interesting to me how many lifters seem to have one much higher lift. You're bench is like my long term lifting goal. 😍

@godislove19933 So how did you lift before this year? Like bodybuilding hypertrophy stuff or very light dumbell movements or? You're going to have so much fun lifting once you get done cutting. Good job for sticking to it for that long!

@tripp1523 So I don't disagree with you but my rebuttal is thus: even if veganism makes you a weakling it's still better than killing animals AND there's lots of jacked vegans so clearly it works out somehow.

@ronit 88# for two on OHP sounds great. I've been at 80# for one for like the past two months. Any brilliant tips?

@oligog That 1.75X BW deadlift though. It's interesting to see how weight training scales across size differences for sure.

@internetimm547 Hey, the race is long and in the end it's only with yourself.

It'd be cool to see what like 5+ years of lifting will do for a woman! Also, age, years trained, bw, height, programs used, nutrition, or whatever else would be neat to see.
