I can't find my previous thread so I'm starting a new one. About a week ago, I was in the 2nd week and the resistance levels were very mixed. Still are! The squats are fairly easy ever with the increasing weight. Might be because my legs are in good shape from running, biking etc. The bench and the deadlift seem about right. The rows I've just barely gotten through all 5 reps, all 5 sets. The overhead press is a b*tch. Last 2 sessions that had overhead I didn't get though all 5 reps in all sets. Fun though and I'm seeing some great progress in my body. I'm in week 3. Does this sound typical to you with experience with this plan?

Yes, i used the strong lifts program for my winter bulk up, i added a few supplemental lifts at the end, but all in all a good program. Good for you. I only did it for 8 weeks and the last two weeks were the hardest because the weights higher. I also changed the program a bit, i changed the "B" workout instead of doing squats i did front squats, too much for my lower back0
