I'll pass that on, thanks! She'll be stoked, as it comes from a serious female lifter.
Just newbie gains I guess. But I don't know much about "normal" amounts, even for male lifters, so it seemed worth posting a good increase like that one. ANd noting the form, which I'm kinda proud of (so is she).
Funny thing happened recently though, now I remember - a guy who's been lifting for 20+ years (he said) came up while I was spotting for her, and said she was benching wrong, because "the grip's too close", elbows not flared out, stuff like that. Felt like smacking him one, but I kept my cool, and repeated what I'd read about shoulder health (after reminding him that CGBP is a common enough way of benching anyhow). It was then that he told us how long he's been lifting. So, next time he was benching, I took note of what he was doing, for the first time ever, and lo and behold, it was some seriously pissy amount (for a guy with that much expereince).
Oops, rambling. Haven't heard from him again, suffice to say.
2x270kg tyre flip at lunch time. I remember the very first time I tried flipping a tyre, I needed assistance, and it was only a 140kg tyre. I hadn't attempted it since then, until Wednesday I saw a girl at the gym flipping one of the 140kg tyres, and decided to find out if I'd manned up at all. This resulted in Nick announcing that I had to flip 270 today.
I'm not sure that's pride so much as it's joy for being allowed back into the gym. Success on the tyre flip became a condition of re-entry, at least that was Sean's motivational threat.

Now you take good care of that tyre. My body Alex had a thing for that bitch. An almost sexual thing. He'd be uite upset to hear his baby is being mistreated.
