Hi Ladies,
New to the group - just starting to figure out the lay of the land. Started Stronglifts5X5 last week. Not sure what my goals will be - until I get some smaller plates, I won't be able to progress according to the schedule.
Main goal - get a feel for the program, the lifts and my technique.
Lifting goals:
Squat - currently 105lbs - up to 125?
Bench - currently 65/75lbs - maybe 80?
Row - figure out the dang technique - I have resorted to T-bar row (I know - not as good!) because I'm certain I am doing it wrong - current weight 80 lbs
OHP - current 40 lbs - maybe up to 50?
Deadlift - current - 95 lbs - so 120?0 -
Monday may 6th I begin my 5x5 lifestyle. My may goal is to focus on form and have no missed workouts.0

This is my very first week doing SL, and my weights are so low I'm too embarrassed to post them. So...
My Goal for May:
- Get my weights up high enough so I won't be too embarrassed to post them for June!
No reason to be embarrassed! We all have to start somewhere!

I just finished week 3. I am still under the suggested start weight' for squats, and barely at the suggested start weight for everything else. I decided to name it my 'SL Training Month'-- to get me to the suggested start weights...LOL. it's all a mental game some days!0 -
Since this is my first month my goal is to get and maintain proper form for each workout. Some of these are new to my workouts and form blows. Also i plan to make sure I run at least 2 days a week. Running is something I've been trying to get into since last summer. I have a love hate relationship with it, but I am learning to deal. So run 2 times a week for at least 30 minutes.
Thursday starts week 3 for my Stronglifts and here are my current stats:
Squats 70
OHP 50
Deadlift 105
Row 70
Bench 500 -
I thought I did a goal for May.. guess not.
anyway, my goals for May:
1] to remember my vitamins daily (they help with my chronic health stuff so I have energy , so I can lift)
2] to lift something, anything, even on tired, flair-up days
3] to deadlift my bodyweight. (I am 27# from dead lifting my body weight and have 5 more "B" sessions- barring a bad migraine/CFS flair up)
4] 2 hours a week of 'cardio' (bike rides, brisk walks,, etc)0 -
For the rest of May - 3 workouts a week. I need to get back into being consistent about lifting!0

I did it! Today was my last may workout and it feels good to know I can stick with it!:bigsmile:0 -
Squat: 100 (triple digits woo!) -- made it to 85
DL: 135 (BIG PLATES WOO!) -- got those to 130
Bench Press: 75 -- got them to 70
OHP: 55 -- and 52.5 for those
Hey, not bad. I'll take it!
Going to spend June doing circuits and pushing for endurance, and then back to more strength works in July. At least that's the plan right now. Subject to change of course. :laugh:0
