    I just had to thank you for this post and summary. The stronglifts program is exactly what I'm looking for because I really need to get my strength back up, but holy cow, I couldn't take anymore of his horrible manly attitude. Now, I'm actually excited to get started on this.

    Yesterday was my first day doing the B exercises, so I've only gone A, B, __, So far i'm loving it. Thank you for this, it's a great reference to go back to, since i've just started I have been reading the guide from Medhi, but this is like an outline, all the points I needed. Thank you Thank you!

    What app do you have that helps you with weight training?

    If you go to the stronglifts website, there's supposed to be an iphone app to track your training within the program.

    However, it's totally not necessary. I just use a notebook.

    Did you read the first post on this thread to get an idea of the program?

    I use the StrongLifts Ap -- I quite like it, it's good for tracking, however, I usually just fill mine out when I get home.

    I use jefit for my android. It's just an general lifting tracker, but you can set up the Stronglifts routine.

    Thanks for posting this!

    I currently squat 50kg but I guess I will have to go back to bar only, just to make it all even and work my way up from there.

    Looking forward to trying this. :happy:

    Hi all, thanks again for the summary.

    Not sure if this is the right place for this question- but here goes. I have a feeling I'll not be able to increase the bench and the OHP by 5lb a time, it's been my experience (New Rules) that I'm better sticking a 0.5kg (1.1lb) plate on each end for these lift increases. What would you all recommend- try it the way it should be, or plan with smaller increases with these 2 lifts?

    Looking forward to getting started on this in Sept/Oct!

    Any increase in weight is an increase in work.

    On overheads, I go up very, very slowly, and pretty slow on bench.
