I am now squatting and deadlifting 50% of my body weight (half of body weight is 85lbs). \o/ (My work sets are 5 sets of 5 reps. I don't know what my one-rep max is!)

And I did 50 modified push-ups (spread-leg base) yesterday. I'm on week 3 of the Easy version of the hundredpushups plan.

ROCK ON. Deadlifts are the win.

Deadlifts are so freaking fun I can't stand it. Also, I am two progressions away from putting the 25-pound plates on the bar instead of having my largest plate on the bar be a 10-pound plate!!! THE EXCITEMENT, IT IS EPIC.

I keep looking at the hundredpushups plan and being intimidated. Great job.

Thank you! :) I tell you what, I think I did two push-ups during my initial test, and I was positive I wouldn't make it through much of the program, but here I am! I can do about five traditional-form on-the-floor pushups now, which is making me seriously consider starting all over with traditional form instead of modified. :D
