COVID 19 Dumbbell only StrongLifts 5x5
Hi everyone. I know different variations of this questions have popped up many times previously all over the internet, with people wondering if they can do StrongLifts with dumbbell only.

Scared of becoming skinny-fat
I've been running Stronglifts 5x5 + accessory work for about 5 months now and still am not seeing much results. I gained about 9 pounds in those months (went from 140 lbs to 149 lbs), but I'm worried that it's all body fat.

Ladies! Add me if you are currently doing a mass phase! I need motivation!

Think I need a more streamlined program as Covid19 is leading to extra shifts at work. Suggestions?

Hello. I'm 58. I'm at a point where I can do 10 bodyweight chin-ups. I often watch Jeff Cavaliere's "Athlean-X" videos. I want to do weighted chin-ups to get more muscle.

Workout shorts!
I need some new shorts which are squat-proof, not really short but tight fitting for my oly lifts (so running shorts aren’t any good). All the booty shorts are brief and I’d rather not flash that much of my thighs in public. I’m in the UK - any recommendations?
