I am about finished with Mark's Starting Strength and went in for my first A workout. Felt pretty comfortable and confident doing the lifts and was enjoying it. I saw in the book it mentioned females should go up by increments of 10 lbs. on the deadlift, 5 lbs. on the squat and 2.5 lbs. on the rest. However, I am still a teenager, 17, and heard that could affect the numbers. Is it unheard of for a teenage female to sustain heavier growth?
Stats:
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 135 lb.
BF: 22%
Calories: 2200 /day (110+ protein)
Squat: 85 lb. 3×5
Bench: 70 lb. 3×5
Deadlift: 120 lb. 3x5
Press: 60 lb. 3x5
Thanks for taking the time to read through this.
