Adult human female, age 39, 5-foot short, 112 lbs.
Six weeks into SS, I just needed to tell someone about my achievements so far. Yes, I am actually quite proud of those numbers, even though my progress has started to slow down:
- down to 1 lb increments on the press;
- switched to triples on the squat: it became very grindy upon reaching 1 X BW (no safeties, spotter not always available);
- struggling to hold the bar during DL: grip has always been an issue, opening jars is a constant struggle (compounded by carpal tunnel syndrome and RA flare-up in both ring fingers). I am contemplating the possibility of using straps.
Squat - 117.5, 5 X 3
Press - 58, 3 X 5
Bench - 85, 3 X 5
DL - 125, 3 X 5
That is all. Please pretend you are impressed. Thank you.
