2 days ago I was able to get 15x3 bicep curls with rope in @ 70lbs, then pulled up 2 @ 80lbs. ... 6 years ago I was able to do 90lbs @ my max (full reps) and would like to be there again by Thanksgiving

Wait. You curled eighty pounds twice?

So~I've been stuck at 7 pull-ups for sometime now and last Friday I told myself "I'm going to hit my goal of 10 on Monday" So all weekend I was pumped...Get to the gym this morning and I'm hanging from the rack. I felt strong and empowered. I achieved my goal of 10 pull-ups on my first set. 6 on my 2nd set and another 10 on my 3rd set. I did have a little assistance on my last 2reps of the 3rd set but needles to say...I'm flying high today.

Awesome! That's the way to blast through barriers.

I'm finally able to do 5 pull-ups, 8 chin ups and 40 pushups
weighted dips with a 35# plate is also up to 15 reps

Way to go that is excellent for dips, I have never actually seen a female do weighted dips so big props!

Set a goal last summer, to bench press my body weight. Hit that tonight - 110 lbs
25 lbs to go for goal #2!

Rock on woman! You know being able to achieve that feat make you stronger in that respect than probably 95% of the women on Earth?

We're a skewed sampling here, so we forget stuff like this sometimes. No way there's more than 1 out of every 20 women in the world can bench their bodyweight. Great job.

160kg x 3 squats to the bench... 3 chin ups (that really bugs me, i want more of those), 61 push ups... about 30% bodyfat (that may be what is hampering the chin ups ;o)
have hit a real plateau with dumbell curls at 15kg x 3-4..

The goal is to get to 20% bodyfat (which i have been at before but didnt have an ounce of muscle on me) and maintain some nice muscle...

Now that I'm training for crossfit affiliation I don't get a lot of heavy in - however I have not lost any strength! I get a heavy leg day in about every 8 days or so. On these days I'm doing 5x5 - pr's are deadlift 205lb and back squat past parallel 195lb. My form goes all the hell on the last few so I plan to stay here for awhile and perfect form. I'm a technique junkie ;-)

Meanwhile I'm trying to learn the kipping pullup. Shew.
