    Oh THANK YOU for bumping this!

    I had forgotten about these infographics. I'm going to be starting SL5x5 at a gym soon and the guy at the gym had never heard of it and I need to explain it to him simply, and on top of it, we literally do not speak the same language (well, he speaks a little English) and this will help SO MUCH. In fact, I might shop for a different gym and this will help no matter where I end up.

    Thank you, thank you!

    (I'm also gonna google search stronglifts infographic to see if I can find one that doesn't use silhouettes, just because the girl isn't parallel during the row. :wink: )

    The OP posted a video link http://www.pinterest.com/zooktography/stronglifts/ in a later thread.
    One can youtube search for Mark Rippetoe and find all of his videos analyzing the various lifts. The science behind the lifts is fascinating.

    Ok so if your anything like me, you may be confused about the strong lifts 5 x 5 program, because A. what the heck is a deadlift? press? row? and B. theres a whole lot of info on that website to filter through and C. confused what 5 x 5 stands for anyways, Or maybe I'm just a visual person so it helps to see it like this :) So I went searching for more info on it and happened to come across these on pinterest, and now because of it I will actually know what it is I'm attempting :) Hope it helps someone else too :)

    Anyone doing the Strong Lifts 5x5 program right now? I started recently and am looking for a MFP friends to keep each other motivated with this program.

    I've been lifting for a while but this is my first experience with a real program that is 100% barbell, feels good to ditch all the machines. I absolutely love how simple it is to follow and how hard it kicks your butt when you really push the lifts.
