Do you even lift, AF bro?

I thought I'd make this thread for the weightlifters out there, theists and non-theists alike!
What kind of lifting, strength-training are you into? Powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman training?
I lift primarily for health reasons, and I also like to see how far I can push myself. I've lifted off and on for a few years but only got serious about it earlier this year. I've been very consistent and have progressed from weak to not-as-weak.
Current lifts are as follows:
Bench - 220 lb max
Squat - 240 lb max
Deadlift - 280 lb max
OHP - 120 lb max
Bent row - Not sure about max, but 130 lb for reps
I don't like maxing so those numbers are based on what I can do for a double or maybe a triple. Anybody who lifts can see that I've still got a long way to go, but I enjoy the process of changing my body and getting stronger. Pushing myself past my comfort level is also a benefit for me. Nothing builds mental toughness like a heavy squat session!
EDIT: Guess I should mention that I am currently 175 lb. That helps put my numbers in perspective I suppose.
