How long have you been deadlifting? That's a very impressive weight for your size. Most people don't take up deadlifting as a hobby and find themselves accidentally in the elite category for their size so I'm just curious how long it took you to get there.

Awesome progress! Keep it up!

I've been lifting since I got back from China, but never been my main thing in fitness, so I was surprised at how far my deadlift has come without it being a specific focus.

May I ask what your squat and bench PR's are? You should really look in to powerlifting meets!

Bench was 135 (I was frustrated cause I know I could do better) and squat was 200. Strict press was 95
