Do you have a particularly athletic family, or any kind of sports background? I hope you stick with, 'cos I reckon you can go as far as you want. And if you can video your lifts, post them up, you'll get good advice. ETA; Do you use alternating grip? My family are one of the least athletic you'll ever meet! I spent most of my childhood being incredibly overweight and doing very little sports wise. I've always walked quite a lot and have done the c2c walk in 13 days but that's about as good as it gets. Only started running 18 months ago and then everything else followed on from there. I do have a very good coach though and I'm very competitive! I do use an alternating grip usually. Planning to stick with it as I don't think I've ever been good at a sport naturally before! It's a whole new experience! | ||

Pretty pleased with how the numbers are going up though, can't believe that I got 10 reps on the 14kg db as the 4 on the 12.5 were shaky 2 weeks ago! | ||

It's a whole new experience! I know that feeling well. I was fairly overweight until age 13 or so, and I cannot run for distance, which is what I've always thought of as athletic. The prospect of being actually, unqualifiedly strong is incredible to me. (As in, not just "for a girl", or "for a physicist"  ) | ||

Member 3098, 173 posts SQ 105, BP 40, DL 130275.0 kgs @ 70kgs UnEq | That doesn't look nearly as impressive as it felt! My own fault for trying to strict press/ forgetting to push press it really...been watching bigz too much on wsm obviously! | ||
