Started lifting a couple of months ago, twice a week at first three times a week for the last two months. No break at Christmas; was nice havin the gym for ourselves. Current bw is 75kg.
Goals are:
DL:100kgx5 (done, so I guess 150 to aim for next)
BP: bodyweightx5 (at 62,5)
Squat: bodyweightx5(at 65)
Really like doing chin- and pull-ups. Worked up from 3x3 chin-ups to 3x10 on both of them and started doing weighted chin-ups last week. 3x6 with a 10kg plate dangling between my legs (ooh, aah) tonight was fun and awkward; strapping on a chain with a plate around your waist wilst standing on your tippy toes reaching for the bar is someting else...
Best part of working out? Eating all the food. Collegues where amused when I raided everyones table at new years drinks last week, all the fried snacks were mine, all of them!
@ all the long(er) time lifters: any good extra excersises for getting better at the standing overhead press?
