Total 1,000,695 in 68 days(started 09/10/2013). It took longer than I originally planned but I missed a couple of weeks, so I can't really complain. We started off strong OP. You had a fair amount of people doing this and then we lost them one by one. There are only a couple left that have been posting. Thanks for offering up this idea. I never really saw how much I lift a day. It's a lot more than I was expecting. Good luck on your goals everybody. I finished and won't be posting my weights anymore. But I will keep watching to see how everybody does by the end of their 90 days. I might try this again in 6 months or a year to see how much I have improved. Good luck everybody.
