Hi everyone!

I joined steemit a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had the chance to introduce myself yet! I'm Liz, and I love spending time in the gym! (: My all-time favourite exercise is the deadlift. It's a great full-body compound exercise, working legs, back, abs, and even the arms! Nothing feels better than breaking the weight off the ground and feeling it move/fly through the air <3 This is also why I chose this picture to upload; I just love deadlifts haha!

I started lifting seriously in maybe June/July 2017, following a lifting program, and made a goal of hitting 2x Bodyweight Deadlift and 1x Bodyweight Bench. I hit both those goals within 4 months or so! :D I was so happy! I did start off with some lifting base for these 2 exercises though, so it's not as amazing as it sounds. But it did open my eyes to the benefits of a good lifting program, and how it would help translate to strength gains. Unfortunately, my squat numbers are very bad - I have a lot of difficulty squatting, and have some knee issues as well ):

For 2018, my bar is set even higher! I aim to squat more to bring my numbers up. Also hope that I can hit my next deadlift goal (100kg/220lbs) soon. Cheers to an upcoming year of gains (: Share your goals with me if you want to~ we can help cheer each other on!
