Last month, I entered my second powerlifting competition, where I squatted 358lbs (while my calves and quads were cramping, NO FUN), bench pressed 264lbs, and deadlifted 407lbs. Mediocre numbers for my bodyweight, but personal records all the same.
I also conquered an existential crisis and have made big plans to change my life around for the better (moving career from IT to computer science). I've begun working on habits and skills that will help in that transition.
I've also started organizing a local polyamory meetup group.
You yanks need to use the metric system already!
Edit: 358lbs = 162kilograms (Was this a front of back squat?) 264lbs = 119kilograms 407lbs = 184kilograms
For those who don't lift that's extreme impressive strength.
-2 points for suggesting the metric system or the conversions?
I've given you a point for suggesting the conversions, but it's possible you were downvoted for snarking.
Thanks. It most likely the snarking. I wish I could have bragged about converting someone to the metric system though.
I share your frustration with imperial units, but theres a technical solution
I try to use US units on US-centric forums. The actual numbers were 162.5kg (back) squat, 120kg bench press, and 185kg deadlift.
I was about the third weakest person in my weight class. Powerlifters are strong.
