It's quite pricy tbh

I want a big juicy butt as well

Well, when you convert that to lbs it does make sense

You'll understand why it's beneficial to start with the empty bar once you start adding weight to over-head press. Trust me.

I have VERY similar stats as you, (basically the same, except squat and DL where I'm 5lbs behind)

& I have been on SL for 4 weeks now, so I'm assuming no, you are not too advanced for a strength...

It's not the number of days, it's the volume of work you do in your workout days


StrongLifts and StartingStrength are highly recommended full-body workouts, and they're based on a 3 day a week...

Hmm makes sense.

(repped)

Well, true. But the program doesn't mention anything regarding OHP being tough to deal with / add weight to. So, I feel like I'm falling behind.

I'll try to stick to the same weight for the next...

Okay, so I've been following SL for the past 4 weeks as a complete novice/beginner and so far :

Squat : 105
Rows : 85
Bench : 85
DL : 125
Overhead-press : 65 (lol, I know)


Is this good...

Yeah, I may have to work on it.

Started with the empty bar, currently on week 4, 95 lbs so far

Last time I asked my gym's trainer to critique my squat technique, he asked me to keep my torso perpendicular to my thighs which sounded like BS to me considering it's different from everything I've...

Honestly, before starting with SL I've read the SS book and watched tons of videos and have read a lot about the squat and how to prevent injuries. It used to intimidate me, so I had to break it all...

- 4 weeks in, and my legs are always in severe pain for the next 2 days after squatting, and also during squatting. I had no problems with lighter weights, and yepp I started with the empty bar....

Alright, I suppose it's common but it's starting to affect my form on certain compound lifts.

I'm still a beginner (3 months and counting), and currently on StrongLifts5x5.

Thanks.

So I should stick to the same weight, and see if I will fail to do 3 consecutive sets ?

thanks

Bump

Alright, long story short -- before I started with SL I had been on a 5-day split for about 2 months.

It's all going good so far, adding 5lbs every time I hit the gym (currently on week 3), except...

Yeah, guess imma start taking pics

This is definitely the most motivating thread on this entire forum

Lol right.

I've been lifting for 3 months now, but still too skinny with barely any results. Guess it takes like at least 1 year to see "impressive" results.
