@dshesgreen Seven other women and I started last August. We all started deadlifting with a 16 pound bar to get our form down. Everyone has progressed - some are in the 80s and the highest is at 125. Me? I'm at 110. It's definitely heavy and we all talk about fear of lifting more, but somehow and at some point, it feels like the right time to try a bit more. Wishing you and everyone else all the best.

@babs10 Wow, that is so inspiring!! I'm at 30 pounds right now, and it's slow-going. If I can get to 110 or 125, that would be amazing - I could see how that might make a difference in bone density! Thank you for sharing.
