I've been doing SS for almost exactly six months (if you exclude a month in the middle where I couldn't do anything), so I thought it was about time to post an update. Six months ago I had never been in a gym in my life, and I hadn't exercised in 6 or 7 years, so I was very weak:
*The dips in the graph are either from resetting or from small back injuries. If they coincide with a deadlift dip, it's because of an injury.
*I used to log press as military press, so the graph doesn't cover my first few sessions.
*This includes all the sets, not just the max, as that is more informative. Also note that I excluded the first few sessions, as I was doing half pull-ups then, not proper pull-ups. From 9 March the sets of 5 are weighted, but the graph doesn't show the weight.

Thats pretty sick improvement, gz! and also only 1kg added in bodyweight must feel awesome, which means you've gotten more muscles and less fat :D

Haha thanks. Body composition has definitely improved a ton, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I'm hoping to lose another 2kg's and increase all my lifts by about 15% in the next 3 months. I'll have to see how that goes
Haha, I'm not big on photos but I'll try to get a reasonable shot next time I'm on holiday (the one time when its impossible to avoid getting your photo taken).

Beast progress, you're quite a bit stronger than me already I'm workin' on it though!
EDIT: You put me on as both a 4:56.32 1500m and 1600m. As cool as it would be to run 100m instantly....I think it is beyond me.
I'd say put me down for 1500m only, as even though 5:18ish is an equivalent mile I didn't run the full distance and wouldn't fee;l right counting it for that distance.
