Sent in my application to be a Special Agent for the FBI now training to be prepared for the Fit Test. Currently able to do 30 push ups no rest but the ideal is at least 50 so that I can score well or give myself wiggle room in the other tests.

[SpeculatorSam]

My best reps for pull-ups was 15 when I was 17% bodyfat, but today, three years later after being in and out of obesity, I did 3 x 10 2-second tempo reps. I'm also about 19-20% bodyfat now; gotta keep the slow healthy cut going for now.

[SpeculatorSam]

I hit 50lbs.+ weighted pull-ups. Wanted to go for three, but that last rep was iffy. It is what it is, but still WOOHOO!

[SpeculatorSam]

I hit 90lbs. strict curl for 3 at 177.2lbs

[SpeculatorSam]

First time in my life I did 12 slow chin-ups... as a warm-up. I was chilled out, just doing my warm-ups and wow 12 chins? Kinda wanna max out to see how many reps I can do, but I suppose it's better I wait as long as possibly on that and just focus on keeping the weighted chins improving. Also, my posing game has improved; I look great for 19% bodyfat, Roy winkler gut and all.

[SpeculatorSam]

Just about matched my OHP strength from High School. I did 155lbs as a dirty bulked 35-40%bf 219er. I weighed in 175 and did 150, 19%bf. My shoulder strength is where it was at in hgih and that make me happy Them wilk score PRS right der

[Alfu94]

9 months ago i got my first injury and couldnot to any squat whats so ever... Today it was my first leg day after so long time. i swear i dont remember 176lb was so hard before .
NB! Before injury it was normal to hit 5x5 with 358lb

[Pjmanso2]

Yesterday I finally hit 235lbs on bench. It felt light but I didn’t want to get too excited. I’m trying to get 1.5x my 170lbs weight

[tombakerim]

I saw someone post that they're going for 405 on deadlift. The most i've done was 445 for 5 reps, but at one point my back was so weak I was doing 135 slowly for sets of eight to prevent injury. You got that man!

Newbie PR Gains.

Started end of last year months ago getting into to compound lifts (Squats, dead lift, bench press, bent over row)

Squats-
Started- 135 pounds- Wanted to start to get used to the movement and gain healthy habits IE Good form
Today- 295 pounds- Definitely can get into the 300's but trying to keep it slow and steady)

Dead lift-
Started- Again started with 135
Today- Did 315 for 3 reps (Felt great)

Bench press-

Started- 115
Thursday- was able to bench 215 for two reps, probably could do more but I work out at 4:30 in morning and the gym is always empty, never really have a spotter

Never in a million years would I have thunk that lifting would become so addicting. Cant wait to see what the end of 2020 will bring for me. I know am going to plateau eventually but am really enjoying myself right now!

Does anyone give some tip for the beginner exercise?

REALLY sad I have to block /ignore so many BUT the great part is if Anyone wants friendship and reaches out to me I will happily unblock them But my history here on bodybuilding.coms forums is a history of most members here hating on me, ignoring me, refusing my attempts reaching out, total lack of support even after I follow them and support them. So my only option has been to Block /Ignore most members.. Again though I always leave it up to YOU reach out your hand in friendship and I will accept it dont and you stay blocked
