Lifting and loving it!

(Karl L) #1

Last month, just for S&G I signed up for ‘Intro Powerlifting’ at the local Y. I’ve messed around with weights a few times, but never for more than a couple of weeks and never with any plan or purpose. Tonight was the final class of this session, and I deadlifted 275lbs!! For an almost 59-yr-old novice, I’m pretty impressed with myself. And… I did it 24 hours fasted.

NICE! Lifting’s great. Got out of it years ago and just started again last year.

Wow!! That is awesome. :grinning:

What was your starting point?

How long was the class?

Thanks; it was 6 weeks. I did 135lbs (3x5) the first week, but tonight was the first time we tested one rep max. Last week I did 205lbs (1x3).
