Hi, Im 34 yrs old and new to PL. Im hoping that someone will take pity on me and save me from doing anything really stupid. My goals right now are to get my form sorted out. At this stage there is more wrong with my form than right, but Im working on it I am doing starting strength, largely because it seemed as good a place to start as any.
Numbers are bench-125lbx5 DL-135lbx.... the weight will stay here till I get my DL at least close to right, by far my worst Squat- 125lbx5 standing shoulder press-65lbx5
thanks to everyone thats posted in Annies log, Ive gotten alot out of it

Welcome aboard Medusa. If you are not busy tomorrow you should drop by the 17th Wing and witness the Powerlifting meet. You will witness what to do right and also the mistakes to avoid.

decided 1 eggo is not enough food to fuel a wo (ya duh I know) You can't make progress in the gym if you don't eat properly. Well balanced diet of protein, carbs and fats. Lots of water. Multivitamin to start and then work it out from there depending on what your body needs. The following needs to be repeated: I WILL EAT BREAKFAST EVERY DAY!!Now eat up, lift and have some fun.

Bench 5x1 75 lb 4x1 85 3x2 105 3x2115 2x2 125 tested 135 x2 145x1 got it, was really hard and not pretty, but PR Squat 5x1 75 5x2 95 2,4,6,8,7,5,3x1 set at 110 thought I was going to die OUCH Bench screwer\d up and loaded 95 riight off....so 6 reps x 7 sets that was it....had to run home. Im really sore today and I expect to feel worse monday.
