Now I have something to aim for. I give myself . . . six months to get to that benchpress. A year to get to the squat. A week to figure out which one is the deadlift.

Just wonderin’–are you male or female? My junior year of HS, my 3 miles time was just under 20 minutes (19:51–made my goal for the season). I’m a chick.
And I graduated HS with a 3.8 GPA.

Bench press 200
Squat 210
Deadlift — I have GOT to figure out which one that is.
But I maxed out the pulldown bar at 200 lbs (at ten reps, having gone from 100 to 200 with 5-10 reps each, it still wasn’t all that challenging) and I set a PR of 22 pullups in a row, so I’m happy.
