    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Long way to go, but it's one of my favourite exercises


Training log indeed.

+ just checked my max => you lifted those 121lbs or it's an approximate based on a calculator? If approximate: not allowed, please read the rules.

only 1RMs people, no approximates. It's a body-weight oh press challenge, you're most likely not going to get there doing stronglifts 5x5.

Hi all,

Felt strong today so tried a 1RM and hit 70kg - after doing 10 sets of 3 at 57.5kg.

So here goes with the stats (Weights converted). Think I may try and lose a bit of weight to help.

Rickler - BW 194lbs / 1RM 154lbs / 79% of 1RM

lol@americanindian...

OK Medhi, I'm happy to say I improved 2kg today. Had a shit day today (my car has become a dead asset - don't ask), so I thought screw it, I'm going to give it a go. The most bizarre thing happened. After all my grunting, deep breathing and constant adjusting of stance and grip, I finally took the bar off the rack and just as I mustered all my energy to go for the push, a thunderous BOOM sounded shortly followed by a land tremor. At that very moment I completed 1x132lb successfully in the prescribed manner.

Today I weighed 141.9lb in the morning. So that's 93%. Thank you for stronglifts! My day just got better :D

Ok apparently that godly boom and such was a nearby earthquake, not divine intervention assisting my lift lol it measured in at 4.6. Bizarre coincidence with the timing....

americanindian.. I'm all out of gas for now. I think I'll have a better chance of improving my percentage by losing some fat!
