Hi all,

I was finished level 2 of NROL4W before Christmas and was supposed to start level 3 this week. But I can't find my book anywhere. Anyway I was looking through the Stronglifts programme and I'm thinking of trying it out for the next few months. It seems way simpler than NROL4W anyway but I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of it? In the book he is completely writing for men so I'm looking for some ladies to give me some advice, their experiences? Would the results be similar to NROL4W?

Thanks a mil :smile:

    Hi,
    There is a group on here called Stronglifts 5x5 for Women :)

    I finished NROL4W a week or two ago, and have so far done 3 Stronglifts 5x5 workouts. It's definitely different. I started out with REALLY low weights because of the high number of sets and wanting to stay in ideal form. I added a couple of exercises to mix it up (abs, lunges, step-ups). I like it so far.

    I've never done NROLFW myself so I can't compare but SL gets straight to it. It's simple and can be done quickly.

    It's certainly far simpler, and it's effective for beginners. It is what I started with. Personally I think SS is a little bit better, but it's a decent enough program.
