Question for the lifters out there?

[sarbear92]

i started lifting almost 2 months ago, and i get kind of discouraged seeing how much other people lift compared to me (although i am comparing myself to big men that have lifted for years haha)

is this okay/average for how much i lift at the moment? or am i lifting peasant weight?

(all are in lbs, and include the bar if there is one)

Leg press - 90 on both sides
squats - ~45 total
deadlift - 90 total
leg ext - 80
leg curl - 60
bench press - 40
dumbell flyes - 15
lat pulldown - 60
barbell curl - ~30
dumbell curls - 20

am i doing good?

The very first thing you should do at the gym every day is check your ego at the door. Never worry what the person next to you is lifting. They were lifting what you were lifting at one time. I'm never thinking to myself that someone isn't lifting as much as me, and neither will most regular gym-goers. Concentrate on doing clean reps with near-perfect form. Half the weight, twice the form, three times the results!

I remember when I first started lifting I based my progress on numbers but now a year later I based it on how I look and how old jeans started fitting again. I think I earlier you pass focusing on numbers the easier/stronger you get.

you're still new in the game and it really does take time to progress. for a girl who just started only just recently you're doing fairly well. don't feel discouraged. in a few months or so you should be doubling that.. but if you're really concerned, talking to a personal trainer wouldn't hurt.

i think you are doing good. don´t compare yourself to those massive gym rat guys, you don´t want to look like them as a girl XD

thanks :)

For a girl those weights seems fine for starting, you will definitely improve over time, just stay focused and don't get discouraged. What kind of physique are you aiming for?

Honestly it sounds like you're doing great. I exercise for the health. I don't see the point in competing but I'm older I guess.

Just focus on doing less weight, more reps if you want to get toned.
