I'm starting this workout once I receive my squat rack. I've been using a Bowflex, but want to go to the next level. I'd like some feedback on how 5X5 is working for others. Thanks!!!

    im only on my second week so my weights are not exactly heavy! I will be training tonight and will be doing the following: squats - 32.5kg, OHP - 20kg, barbell row - 27.5 kg. I am really enjoying doing the exercises, they are so much more interesting than the machines (which i never really liked anyway). I guess time will tell if it is effective. good luck with yours. I would love to have a squat rack and weights set at home!

    Just started 2 weeks ago and loving it! Going today to buy 2.5 lb weights because the smallest I have are 5lbs. Not a problem adding 10lbs at a time to my squat and dead lift but too much for bench and row for me.

    This is the SL 5x5 women's group. Lots of info and helpful people over there. I've found it to be a great resource.
