Thought I'd pop by and say hello as I am planning to start Stronglifts tomorrow! I'm kind of excited, but also a bit nervous. I joined a gym and I get quite stressed being in the free weights section with all the massive men.

I also wanted to say thank you very much to Tameko2 for the amazing summary - after reading and rereading I finally think I understand it all so thank you very much!

I think my main worry is that I won't be doing the moves correctly - even tho I've watched the videos and others on youtube, and I ask the people at the gym I still worry because it's all new to me.

Anyway... just wanted to say hello seeing as I'd joined the group, so hello! :smile:

    It takes some getting used to. My first time lifting free weights I felt really awkward and weird. After a couple times over there I felt like I knew what I was doing pretty well. I really love lifting weights, I hope you do too!! Have fun and good luck!

    Hello! I've only been doing it a week so I'm a noob too :smile: but it's seriously the most addictive thing ever!

    I lift at home by myself so I'm super nervous about form etc - I just make sure that until each lift comes naturally - squats are there, the rest are taking a bit longer - I refresh myself before I do them and I do a little mental ticklist of everything about the form for each one. Have a great time!
