• My goal is to bench and row my body weight (target weight 50kg, current weight 55kg), while squatting and dead lifting 150% of my body weight.

    I’ve met my squat and dead lift goals (and then some). My trainer says I was blessed with, and I quote, “sturdy peasant legs”. But I have spaghetti strand arms apparently, so my bench has plateaued at 35, and you know my row.

    Someday, though. And despite the frustration, I’m still doing amazingly better than I was when I started this 2½ years ago. (And there’s been amusing things like my SO getting scared by the fact that I can hip thrust his weight … with ease. 🤣)
