Strength / Weight Training

Personally trying not to completely lose interest then berate myself 2 years from now (again) for not keeping plugging away when it starts to get tough.

Finished off the year with a (recent) pb of 5 X 110kg deadlifts this morning & didn't even come close to shitting myself despite enjoying some industrial strength unpasteurised beers last night, so I'll take that for 2021 - the gym has a load of new plates too, some even more weights to go around

About 6-7 years ago I did a few months of fairly structured lifting as part of a weight training for semi-trained cyclists study at Glaxo (they were selling a new drink and wanted some data to point to the 'makes you super strong if you drink it' claims).
Had the benefit of lifting 3x a week in a quiet gym with a guy that knew what he was talking about telling me what to lift and how often, and making sure I warmed up properly and rested fully between sets.
I got to squatting around 165kg. I weigh about 73kg so it was objectively quite good.

Been doing the standard StrongLifts routine for the last couple of months to try and get a bit of strength back rather than just running and cycling. Tends to be a couple of times a week, and mixed in with mostly cardio.
Fuck knows how I got close to 165kg before. I'm at about 100kg now and while that's not uncomfortable then it's a world away from the other numbers.

New Years is upon us. Any wild goals or resolutions you lot are making?

2x bodyweight seems a decent goal given the /CSB above.

But then I would also quite like to get under 18mins for 5k, so I'm not sure how well those two combine.

Consistency more than anything.
Just started getting into a routine and want to stay on track with no disruptions.
Working out five days a week at 5:30am. Do it before work so nothing gets in the way.

Hoping to bench 100kg, deadlift 200kg and back squat 150kg (currently at 85, 180 and 130).

Also really want to progress with my Olympic lifts but I've been really struggling with snatch/overhead squats due to an old injury, At the moment I'd be happy to get a full depth overhead squat with an empty bar!

Teaching my husband to deadlift double his bodyweight...I think he can do it :)

And getting my chin ups back to 5 or so / go benching together rather than use machine bench.
