I started Stronglifts just over a year ago and I'm really enjoying it. I've trained pretty consistently for most of that time, despite missing the odd week here and there (holiday, birth of child etc.).
I have now set a goal of reaching the 400kg club (160kg deadlift, 140kg squat, 100kg bench press).
My best lifts to date on Stronglifts are:
Squat - 2 (sets) *3 (reps) at 122.5kg
Deadlift - 1*4 at 115kg
Bench - 2*5 + 1*4 at 62kg
OHP - 2*5 + 1*4 at 44kg
Row - 3*5 at 70kg
I'm 5"7 and currently at 71kg - but looking to get to 68kg.
Is this enough information to set a timescale on how long it may take me to hit my goal? And does anyone have any guidance on how long it may take? I want it to be tough enough to mean I can't let the intensity drop but not too difficult that I will sicken myself - if that makes sense. I tend to train first thing on a morning, before breakfast, as this suits my lifestyle.
Thanks in advance for any help offered and more than happy to provide any more information that may help.
I'm also 30 years old, I'm a well controlled type 1 diabetic and walk the dogs for 20 minutes on training days, 40 minutes on non-training days and usually about an hour each day on the weekend if any of that makes a difference.
