I would like to see some, too! I've only seen 2-3 before/after SL photos since I've been here0

I am interested in this also. Thinking I would like to start. So bumping for interest.0

i didn't do stronglifts per say, but i did start out with a very similar 3 day full body compound focused program. After a couple of months i went to a push/pull/leg split.
building a strength base is definitely worth it imo, just make sure you're getting enough protein and calories.0 -
I have been doing strong lifts for 3 months now and absolutely love it. I just did a big thread on my 3 months. You can find it here.

But heres the pics from start to 3 months. More of them in my thread.

I remember seeing yours RunDoozer! You look great! Same with you mc54iznit!!
All results welcome - especially ones from the ladies out there!0 -
Surprised we're not seeing more. I know theyre out there I've seen quite a few.0

I'm starting on Monday (just finishing off C25K tomorrow). I'll take a pic this weekend and go from there.0

I am finishing up my fourth round of P90X and beginning to integrate stronglifts into my workout plan. I can feel the difference already.0

I'm due for pictures on Saturday. Tagging the post. I've only done two months, and I'm at the beginning of my weight loss journey, so not really a success, but progress at least.0

Me too! I'm excited to see more results.. I need the courage to get the barbell off the squat rack and just do the damn thing! :laugh:0 -
Like I said, I'm not a success, because I just have so much weight to lose, but here are my progress pics so far after 2 months of strong lifts and eating at a 30% deficit:
Squats: 75lbs (I hurt my knee with squats, so I've been adding weight VERY slowly)
Bench: 80lbs
Rows: 75lbs
OHP: 52.5lbs
Deads: 155lbs0 -

Threadkiller.. I've got plenty of success stories. Nothing wrong in asking people who have added this program to their fitness regime to post pics. Your commentary wasn't required. Thanks!0 -

this is the definition of success - you have done awesome, keep it up0 -
My eating has been 'um somewhat less than disciplined, basically at around maintenance, so there's not much fat loss, or visual difference, but there has been definite strength increase (which is what the program is for).

I'd been following NROLW for six months before switching this past month to train for a half marathon. I miss the squat rack! I still lift heavy at least once a week, but won't be serious about it again until after May. No pics for you, but with NO attention to my diet, I still saw results. Oh, and my years of f'd up back issues cleared up. Get in that squat rack! You won't regret it!0

I did write mine just nice to see what other people are doing on the same program.0 -
I am not sure how to post photos on a forum, but the most recent of my progress photos is my profile pic! I wasn't overweight before I started, but I wasn't happy with the way my body looked. I have def had great results! and I'm eating 2,000 cals a day on average and losing weight.0

Oh, I just love lifters. I spend a lot of time on fitocracy, where there are zillions of lifters, esp 5x5. We even have groups for lady lifters. Is fun!0
