some may remember me. i stopped lifting when i was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and went on effexor. i finally got off effexor (cold turkey. it sucked!) and now have the desire to lift again. so here i am.
i am doing a hobbled version of starting strength because i am nervous about a joint flare up. i started with squat and bench at 95# and have done 5 reps of deadlift with just a plate.
i plan on going up 5 pounds every session for squat until i fail. i suspect i will be able to get to 200 before i fail, but we will see. my body is different now.
also i gained 50 pounds and i wasn't dainty to begin with. effexor was a real ******* and left me with a lot of clean up duty. LOL
anyways
Today
squat - barx5, 65x5, 85x5, 100x5x3
bench - barx10, 65x5, 85x5, 100x5x3
in and out.
food
1910 calories with only 101 protein. i am sorting this.

In!!! Me first
So happy to see you back again, and back lifting as well! Ugh, sorry to hear about the health and Effexor issues, that's not good. You're a tough chick though, you can deal with anything. I have confidence in you, looks like you're off to a great start!

You are gonna make it.Current PRs:
Bench Press: 200x1
Deads: 315x1
