Hi, Been doing Starting strength for three and a half. I used to lift seriously back in my high school and a couple of years after. I lost my work out partner, and sort of just gave up. Anyways, started back after 10 plus years at 31 years old. I'm 6'4 and have gotten quite overweight at 396.
My first work out was
Squat-185
Bench-135
Press-95
Deadlift-195
As of Friday, i am up to
Squat-255
Bench-195
Press-135
Deadlift-295
