| Apr 26, 2017 at 18:36 | comment | added | Julie Ventic | Thank you all!!! I agree not very strong in these areas is the issue.. but why. I have been increasing weight. I started very low (yoga) and now lifting as mentioned above, adn it is hard.. I up anytime I can handle it. Underlying issue.. well was very thin and weak up until these years. Also, breast implants make it feel strange when I work those muscles directly (pls dont judge, never developed due to thinness when young). I am trying to get better at handling the squeezing feeling but its taken time. Received them under muscle 7 yrs ago no problems. | |

| Mar 31, 2017 at 7:18 | comment | added | John Pietrar | I couldn't do any pull ups until I did my first series of 12x lat pulldown with at least 64 kg considering I got 80 kg and deadlifted 110kg | |
| Mar 31, 2017 at 7:15 | comment | added | Dark Hippo | This is going to sound very harsh, and for that I apologise, but looking at the amount of time training (3/4 years) and your current strength and bodyweight, you're just not very strong. After a year of weight training, baring any physical impediment, you should be able to easily deadlift your bodyweight. Have you been pushing to increase the weight you lift? Have you been making consistent small increases in weight (i.e. adding 2.5kg to the bar when you deadlift every week or so)? | |
