Press - 27.5kg to 42.5kg
Bench - 37.5kg to 57.5kg
Deadlift - 60kg to 100kg
Bodyweight - 69.3kg to 77.7kg
Beginner doing SS after an abortive attempt last summer (did it for 2-3 months before I had to move and it became less practical for me to get to an affordable gym 3 times a week). I'm only on the second week so it's not very taxing yet but I thought I might as well put my log up here.
Age: 24
Height: 6'1"
Starting Bodyweight: 69.3kg / 153lb
Today (fifth session) I did:
squat - 55kg - 3x5
bench - 42.5kg - 3x5
deadlift - 70kg - 1x5
chins - 5,5,3
Previous sessions:
27/3
squat - 45, 3x5
bench - 37.5, 3x5
chins - 4,3,4
29/3
squat - 47.5, 3x5
press - 27.5, 3x5
deadlift - 60, 1x5
31/3
bench - 40, 3x5
squat - 50, 3x5
chins - 6,5,3
3/4
squat - 52.5, 3x5
press - 30, 3x5
deadlift - 65
chins - 5,5,3
So everything's going okay just now ... I'd guess my press will be the first to fail, hopefully not for a couple weeks though.

Deadlifts getting a little bit harder now, might switch to 2.5kg jumps from now on.

No squats or deadlifts (lower back pain). Not sure which exercise is causing the pain, left out both today - should be able to squat again on Thursday (with focus on form).
