@indekee When I first started couch to 5K I was taking small jumps - especially at the beginning. From 1 min to 1.5 to 2. If you can do 3 minutes try 4 minutes. Or 3.5 minutes of you can't do 4. Slow progress is still progress. You can always add extra weeks in between to make smaller jumps.

@pilgramspirit Mine is about 1:1, clean and jerk is slightly higher . My max clean and jerk is 150-153 lbs, and max bench press is 145-148 lbs. (I’m a woman but also train for powerlifting meets so I bench often and don’t do Olympic lifting as much.)

@differentviews Thank you. My coach told me what to choose for my first two attempts and then left the final one up to me. He said I did well, that it's good to leave a meet hungry. (Also I need to work on leg drive to improve my bench.) You were right. Lifting in 165 felt great.

@samarami You could try substituting pumpkin or applesauce.

@dawn16 Same here. I know a few couples who met at my gym (including the owner/head coach who met his wife at the gym), but if anyone is hooking up I haven’t heard about it. I don’t pay that much attention.

@freedomusa I got mine done at a local imaging center. I found it by googling DEXA + nearby city and county names.
