Recent milestones

Age: 26
Weight: 74kg
Height: 5'9" (I think?)
Until about a year ago: Total pansy.
Now: not so much of a pansy.

I have recently reached a couple of personal targets in my training, and thought I'd post them here, and give props to Mark, as none of it would have happened without that book.

About a week ago I got 3 sets of bodyweight benchpresses! This has been eluding me for a while, and now I'm already benching nearly 5kg over.

Last night I hit the big 100kg squat! This one has been a goal for ages, and gee it was nice to stand in that rack with 2 big plates on each side.

Last night I also pulled 5 x 135kg DL - also a PR - and MAN it works your glutes at this weight!

Next goals are a double bodyweight DL (150kg), and 1.5xbw (112kg) squat... hopefully I should have them both whithin 2 months from now.

Unfortunately I don't have a vid of my 100kg effort, but I do have my previous session at 97.5kg.

Shitty video, but it looks like your squats are about an inch high, maybe more. Bodyweight will be your friend, my friend. Eat more.

Hopefully it's just the dark pants and the shadows playing tricks... but noted all the same.
