Starting Heavy Lifting (Stronglifts 5x5)

baybeejulia

Hey all,

I've been on this MFP journey for 70 days now, have lost 4kg (8.81lbs) - need to lose 6kg more. But most importantly, I want to get shredded. I have never been the type to be lean or shredded.

I've decided it's time I start heavy lifting, because, well, I believe it's the best thing you can do! (I will continue to do cardio and eat at a deficit).

I'm modifying SL a tad, my plan is as follows:

WORKOUT A
Barbell Squat
Barbell Bench Press
Barbell Bent-Over Row
Tricep Dips
Pushups

WORKOUT B
Barbell Squat
Overhead Press
Deadlift
Chin-Ups
Seated Row

I also want to work lunges in there somewhere.

I'd like some feedback from experienced lifters. Am I on the right track, can I get shredded?

If you've started chubby/fat and become shredded from lifting, I'd love to see your results.

Thanks in advance.

There is a stronglifts 5x5 group you can join. You'll get better responses if you post there. I don't know how to find/post the link to it, sorry!
