I never did move very much weight.
I have old injuries which means my ankles are unstable so I leak power.
I am also long limbed and not naturally strong at all. I didn't start weightlifting until I was 30.
I back squatted 60kg for a single... 2x in my life. I got up to about 50kg for a front squat single. Best clean was about the same (yellow plates on womens bar). Best deadlift a little over 100kg. This is when other women my weight class are doing closer to double that.
Since I quit the gym... I finally managed to purchase a barbell that I can use at home / take to the park. Waiting for it to arrive... Today hopefully. I have 2x2.5kg height setting weights. Will need to focus on quality of movement / speed until I can afford to buy some more weights, ha!
Have been doing animal walks and tabata squats.

I am not that good. As any of that.
It is the *ideal* that I am attracted to :)
