I started SL5x5 yesterday. Gotta admit, felt a little like the old man I am, squatting and benching an empty bar. The 65 pound row was a little harder, but I got through all of the first day barely breaking a sweat and breathing hard. Gotta believe that this is just the easy start meant to prevent overuse injury in the beginning. Off from lifting today, scheduled for a 5 mile run outside and then back on Thursday.

Almost seems too easy/simple to be effective.

Is anyone still here?

    Don't worry, it will get harder fast enough. That's the beauty of this program, it starts out easy enough to avoid soreness and immediate burnout, but it gets as hard as you need it to be pretty quickly.
