    I am on my 4th week of sl5x5 and already have made great gains in strength. Squats 20kgs to 52.5 and deadlifts 30kg to 60kg (I weigh 58kgs). I am so motivated to get to the gym to see just how heavy I can go. I can feel I am toning up nicely and hoping to lose my mummy belly

    Stronglifts is for humans not men. Everyone should do it.

    My only regret is that I didn't start at the bottom weight and work up.

    Is the bottom weight a set number or is it a number you choose? That part confuses me.

    I did strong lifts, then 3x5, then Madcow, then Wendler's 5x3x1 during last 3 years. I stayed with 5x5 for about a year which is I think a good period of time to build the base. It is a good program to improve health.
