    Agree with those who say pass on by! If you have seen the question before, ignore the thread! :grumble:

    Newbies to MFP don't know about the search or the stickies or how the wrkouts work. Once you get into weightlifting, you realize all the books are similar but it does take a little to figure out! :noway:

    Go away, haters! This forum is supposed to be for encouragement. :angry:

    Good luck in your lifting efforts. New Rules is a great book. Haven't looked into Stronglifts but I will now. :happy:

    I have hate in my heart. Truly.

    The answer that was provided that made sense to the OP was a direct copy/paste from the 5x5 website. So,...?

    I have yet to see a question on these forums that Google doesn't have an answer to.

    So, why do we have forums?

    Good question!

    Cheers.

    Apparently...we have these forums so us haters have a place to play and gang up on folks and lay the pixel down! Have Google do that!

    it's amazing how you can come on here and ask for an explanation of something in english not just 5x5 and workout a and workout b and people have to make fun. no wonder people avoid the forums with any new question.

    Join the group someone pointed out. Very helpful, very amazing women in that group.

    And I don't see anything in the original post about a "new" question. Are there really any "new" questions left in the world? All questions have been asked and answered. We all find our answers in different ways or ask the question to someone else. :smokin:

    That's why there's Google. All the questions have been asked and have answers.

    Or can be asked on this forum which is here to help us connect with one another and encourage one another. Much more personal than Google.

    seriously, some angry people out there... i thought the whole point of the forum was to ask questions about fitness and exercise? i guess if i didn't spend whatever specified amount of time they think to be the right amount of time researching it, then i should just not ask and go try to do it with my limited knowledge of what it is rather than do it right. thanks to the ones who are helpful and led me to the spreadsheet and group. I think that will be helpful. to the others, i hope you're fortunate enough to be new to something and have helpful people answer your questions instead of rude ones.

    Sometimes I also want others to do all the work for me. Perhaps if they are nice enough they will lift for me and I will reap the benefits.

    sjohnny, ubermensch, leak, cmcollins, what are you guys waiting for? Why you hanging around here? I found two other posts in the Fitness and Exercise forum: "Weight lifting for women -- I'm new, please help" and "Women: tell me your weight lifting routine."
    Go get 'em ! How dare they waste our time with such queries ! Don't they know we are experts and cannot be bothered?
