ITG 🇮🇸 Apr 2021 9:08pm, 6 Apr 2021 12,262 posts	Quote Pin ITG 🇮🇸 Thanks, Nellers. I know most of you lot are pressing 60+ without breaking a sweat but I've never been a lifter and I think my pb when I was training regularly was low-40s. My deadlift is just over my bodyweight.
Nellers Apr 2021 9:14pm, 6 Apr 2021 38,418 posts	Quote Pin Nellers I'm nowhere near that strength! I'm happy to push press 25kg! I've always been a skinny weed. It's only since I've turned 50 that I've really started doing any consistent lifting at all.
