    Every fitness beginner on earth -- male or female -- should begin with a 5x5 program, and Stronglifts is probably the best one for beginners.

    5x5 is to movement what keeping a food log is to eating -- a great starting point where you'll learn a lot, and build a foundation for living a healthy rest of your life.

    You don't have to do it forever, but you'll never regret spending 6 months with it.

    I deal with #2 every gym session, and I actually really like the feeling of hitting people.

    So I very much understand the dilemma. ;) Also at home, you can use beer as a peri.

    McCloud - That is exactly what it is all about. There are so many people here who are hell bent on losing x lbs per month and starving themselves. You pretty much stay the same weight, but change your "composition" and look at you!

    This is really impressive man! (*)

    I just started strong lifts so I am looking forward to working HARD!

    Stronglifts is great. I'm actually doing a minor variation of it myself and aside from some lower body setbacks that have delayed those portions a bit, I'm pretty pleased with it.
