Hi girls! I am currently eating mostly paleo (i love cupcakes- refuse to give those up!) and really want to focus on HIIT/CrossFit as well as gaining a lot of strength. I was wondering if you have any pointers on heavy lifting and gaining a lot of strength? Currently I've been doing about 5-8 moves (squats, RDLs, rows, etc) about 2x a week, and 3-5 sets of 5-10 reps. It works well but I'm wondering if I can improve at all? I've also looked at the StrongLifts 5x5 and that seems interesting... has anyone tried it?

Any input is welcome! Thanks!

    I've heard good things about Stronglifts 5x5. I finished the Jamie Eason LiveFit Trainer about a month ago and I learned a lot. There's lots to see at bodybuilding.com too.

    DId you see good results with LiveFit? I'm currently working with a trainer, finishing up my sessions within the next month - so I'm looking for a new program...

    I did LiveFit for the first 2 months, I should have finished the last month, but it was really demanding trying to keep up with the nutrition part and being at the gym for almost 2 hours a day. I did get stronger, but unfortunately didn't get to see the slim down part....
