About this user

I was an unathletic 29 year old when I first lifted a weight. I've been addicted to getting strong ever since--almost four years now. I have a particular fondness for old-time feats of strength. I also practice Brazilian jiu-jitsu (~2 years, blue belt).

I am currently 170cm and ~63 kg. (5'7", 138 lbs.). My press, back squat and deadlift PRs were set at a weight of 170-175 lbs.

PRs:
300 lbs. conventional deadlift (and 240x10x3)
225 lbs. back squat (and 180x10x3)
155 lbs. bench press (this was bodyweight at the time)
115 lbs. overhead press
3x160 lbs. front squat
112 pushups (the last 12 were fingertip pushups)
10 pullups
7x10 bodyweight dips
45 lbs. weighted dip
45 lbs. weighted pullup

Goals:

Short term:

handstand pushup
back lever
muscle-up
front lever
a better dragon flag
better pistols (my balance sucks)
a better one-arm pushup

Long term:

400 lbs. deadlift
300 lbs. squat
bodyweight overhead press
75 lbs. weighted dip
75 lbs. weighted pullup
freestanding handstand pushup
planche
one-arm pullup
