Hi All! Excited to join this group! I'm just about at my goal weight, I do cardio 7 days a week, do circuit training 5 days a week, dropped from size 16 to size 8 and GUESS WHAT! I have 34% body fat! WTH??? :) So now I truly understand what 'skinny fat' means. It's taken me a LONG time to understand this concept.

So, I'm looking at the Strong Lifts website now (http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/ ). What he says is making perfect sense and resonating with me, but the site and the entire presentation sound... hmmmm.... too marketing gimmicky/spammy? I mean it's like 'click here in the next five minutes' and 'free starter kit'. Am I setting myself up for some hardcore sales pitches? What do you all think about his site and the free downloads available from it?

Anyway, I am very excited to begin this next phase of my journey!

    Welcome to the group! I get Mehdi's daily email from stronglifts. He does push the "inner circle" membership all the time (something I have no interest in ever paying for), but he also has a ton of great free info and links on his site.

    There's a really good summary of SL at the top of the board here. It's a little less texty and more straightforward than on the SL site.

    Oh, thank you for pointing out that summary! SO much easier to read than his site and that .pdf encyclopedia!
