Hit 335x4.5 today on squats (I say 4.5 because my last rep wasn't solid...it was a rep, but I didn't drop far enough). Followed it with 275x5, and 275x7 just because. I think I need to up my deload weights next week until I can barely scrape out 5 and 6 reps respectively.
Not too bad for 180lbs I think. Slowly creeping up on 2x bodyweight :).
That's awesome man! I get calculated 1rm of 380lbs. Great stuff!
Edit: YEW! First

It sounds really little, but I can do pushups for a full minute and can hold a plank for a full minute. And I can get thru boot camp without dieing. I just started exercising 4 mts ago. I have never exercised before. So that is a big accomplishment for me.

Ooooh, I am doing NROL4W (just started a few weeks ago) and I was able to dead-lift 135lb today 3sets/8 reps. I was very happy :) I upped my weights in everything but dead-lifting over my body weight felt really awesome!
Thanks for letting me share!!

Yeah girl! How many pushups do you do in a minute? I've never tried that!
I'm tempted to try now, but my FL just advised me not to do pushups before lifting tomorrow.

That's awesome Sandi! 40 is a great number! I probably couldn't do 40 in a row, even if you gave me 10 mins! haha! 
Edit: Coz I apparently can't speak English today!! GUR!

50 straight burpees is bad ass 
I did a 100 burpees challenge for time once. Did it in 7min50secs. Felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest!

I hit a new PR on the bench press tonight. I never have a spotter so I use the power rack but still am a little timid. Tonight I lifted 135 lbs and was okay with it. I got 5 reps out of it - 2 sets. I'd done previous sets at a lower weight.
Incline leg press still working at 820 lbs. I got 8 reps out of this tonight... again I'd done previous sets at a lighter weight (730 lbs).
Feeling strong.

My jealousy is making it really hard to comment here..... 
Girl you are killing it!
eta: I wish there was a green angry face smiley to express jealousy.

That's ok. Not that many people know.
(weight x reps x.0333)+ weight = approx 1rm
It is more accurate with lower reps ie. 5 or less. And calculated and actually doing it are definitely different. The mental aspect of testing 1rm's is always a big thing.
I use this formula to determine perceived effort on sets e.g. last week of smolov squats, every single set I did was equivalent to a 175kg 1rm effort or more. Seeing as how my actual 1rm was 170kg at the time, I knew ALL of those sets were going to be very difficult.
