I have been off and on with strength training since January. I started with StrongLifts 5x5, then got pointed toward SS and decided to do that. I'm still trying to get my ass in gear for three workouts a week. Lately, I've been alternating two and three a week. Work has weird schedules that differ every week, and I'm on my feet the whole time I'm there, so it's been "interesting".
Current Stats:
Sex: Female
Age: 22 years
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 241 lbs
Body Fat: 54%
Squat: 125 lbs = 0.52 x BW
Bench Press: 65 lbs = 0.27 x BW
Power Clean: 65 lbs = 0.27 x BW
Press: 60 lbs = 0.25 x BW
Deadlift: 155 lbs = 0.64 x BW
Goals:
30% body fat
2 x BW deadlift
1.5 x BW squat
0.75 x BW bench press
Currently I add 5 lbs to the squat, bench press, and power clean, 10 lbs to the deadlift, and 2.5 lbs to the press. My workouts are supposed to be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My diet is "primal", meaning I eat mostly meat and vegetables with some dairy and fruit. I aim for about 100g of protein a day, and typically less than 50g of carbohydrates. I will go over on the carbs about once a week, for the sake of my own sanity and enjoyment.
Today's Lifts:
Squat:
2x5x45lb
1x3x75lb
1x2x100lb
3x5x130lb (work set)
Bench Press:
3x5x70lb
The bar wavered around a lot during the second set (bad form) so I think I'll repeat this weight.
Deadlift:
4x165lb
Was supposed to be 5 reps, last one I couldn't straighten up. Will repeat this weight next time.
