Oh man I feel high on endorphins

I (27F) got into heavy lifting at the start of April as a means to help with fat loss because I'm super short. I PR'd my squat (65kg) AND my deadlift (75kg) today. Never thought I'd make so much progress so quickly, newbie gains be damned. And I still have so much fat to lose, and so much muscle to gain!

Feeling stronger by the day, and super excited to grow with this community!

Damn good to hear and what a great progress! Keep it up and maybe I will get motivated again to get outta my butt to work out again.

Now that's progress, nicely done! It takes a lot to build up to that, sounds like you've been consistent and dedicated and put the work in needed to hit a big milestone. I tend to get impatient with my own leg progress so I find it inspiring being reminded what goals can be hit when we don't give up!

Nice! Are you currently running a program?

[–] mewpichu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! I'm right now on a 2 day split with legs and back/arms, plus 1-2 cardio days.
