    SS summary.
    Squats from 185 to 350.
    Press from 100 to 135
    Bench from 135 to 205
    Deadlift from 205 to 335

    I went from a body weight of about 272 to about 165.
    And I feel good learning new skills and gaining discipline, getting strong.
    Next up, intermediate.

    Impressive you've been able to gain a lot of strength while losing so much weight. I think that's pretty rare. I've been focussing on the strength for now but will need to tackle my weight eventually.

    I don't fully understand your reporting. What do the total reps signify? What is the purpose of reporting them?

    Good gains on the restart. Keep it up.
