How light did you START as a BEGINNER?

[DrBones]

When I first started back in 1998...
I could
Bench Press 115 for 8
Curled like 50 lbs
Never squatted, barely did my back.....
Now, when I first started deadlifting and squatting.. which was about 6 months ago.. my lifts looked like this
Squat 185 for 5
Deadlift 185 for 5

My deadlift especially has gone up a TON since then...

i could only do 95lbs on bench press. of course when i started squatting i could do <ahem> 315lbs easy (all 3 inches or so). i doubt i could have really squatted much more than the bar and a pair of 45s
