I've been wanting to follow the "Starting Strength" approach and try and put on additional muscle mass and maybe someday become 70s Big. Made some time today to establish a baseline for some of the basic lifts.
Workout A:
Back Squats 3 x 5
Press 3 x 5
Deadlift 1 x 5
Results:
Squat - 267 lbs
Press - 135 lbs
Deadlift - 303 lbs

I don't know if it's the solitary confinement or the different equipment, but I felt a bit weak in the garage today.
Oh well. At least I have a starting point.
I love the random numbers from the home-gym weights. You're definitely the only person I know with a 303 1RM on deadlift.
Laura and I did "Turkish Delight" at 10Fitness on Friday.
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
12 Turkish Get-up Mills, 35# (6 each side)
12 ring dips
12 walking lunges, 35# plate overhead.
I got exactly four rounds. Laura got 4 1/3 rounds, sub 20# DBs, 1x1 bench dips, 25# overhead plate.
It was pretty crowded and we both expressed doubt over the ability to load up a barbell, do some cleans, go run on the treadmill and come back to a waiting barbell. But we'll see.
