    I started kettlebell training a couple of months ago. I have gotten a lot stronger already and I see that I am
    still improving. Now I am asking myself this:
    If I can keep up my programm and keep increasing my strength with good form etc.,
    what will I be able to deadlift at the end of this year?
    (I don't deadlift anything else than my girlfriend at the moment and I guess that counts as squatting.)

    My personal goal this year is a 400 lbs (181.4 kg) deadlift with proper form and raw. Without straps, belts or anything.
    Let's see if I can do that!

    Stay strong!

    I dont know yet but as i said i am underweight so i would like to start with something light like pushups and pullups what do u think guys also any suggestions as my height is 5 feet 6 inches and weight is just 47 or may be less its very hard for me to gain weight.

    Alright. Do you have access to a gym? Or a barbell, kettlebells, weights?

    If not, I could recommend you the following exercises:
    Squads
    Deadlifting (something heavy that is lying around)
    Push ups
    Chin Ups
    Dips
    Bear crawls
    You can lift your friends as well. :D
    ... any exercise that uses the whole body. Focus on good form first!
    There is a list of things I would do mentioned earlier in this threat and on my journal. Check it out.
    You can do running, jumping, climbing trees and so on.

    You've got to increase what you are eating. Eat healthy but eat more. Sleep more.
    With a good caloric surplus, plenty of sleep and a couple of times a week training your whole body
    you will gain weight and strength at a good rate.

    Cheers!

    Update:
    I'm getting stronger! I just noticed that I can do a lot more repetitions with my kettlebells than I used to. The scale is also going up.
    Yaaaaay! Also, carrying my gf around seems like carrying a feather. :) Today I did some tree climbing and gf/tree log squats.
    In addition to that I don't sit around often. I have removed my chair in my apartment and squat, or kneel down.

    I'm looking forward to your stories!

    So guys here is my starting plan from tommorrow
    Schedule training-
    running-
    1200 meters
    3 pullups sets-7,4 pullups sets-3 TOTAL=33
    10 SETS PUSHUPS OF 10 EACH TOTAL =100

    also know that i m uderweight though i can do much more than this but its useless and also its schedule training so gonna gradually increase also
    If u guys think i should add something do suggest it and yes i dont do gym i prefer pushups pullups squats etc.
    Thanks for motivation.

  20. I fell off posting here recently, but figured that I might as well jump back in. Today was a whole lot of cardio and agility work. I sprinted and worked on moving my feet faster in preparation for football and baseball this coming year. Additionally, I played a few pick up basketball games, which felt fantastic
