    Welcome to the group!

    What do you mean when you ask if we post what we do in each program? In the chat thread we share what our lifting stats are pretty regularly but that's about it!

    If you are looking for video of how to do the program, Mehdi actually has youtube videos of both workout a and b available and they are great to watch for an idea of what/how you should be doing.

    Also, if you have an iPhone there is an app available and it is awesome! It tells you everything you need to do!

    Hi and welcome!!

    I'm relatively new, as well (just joined a week or so ago), and this has been such a great group for learning as well as meeting other women that like to pick up heavy stuff and put it down. :laugh:

    I downloaded and read the first half of Mehdi's 5x5 Report, as well as the spreadsheet to use until I get my minimums up to the defaults that are on the iPhone app.

    I also watched the youtube work out videos over and over until I got it, and refer to them regularly.

    :smile:

    Welcome to the group. I think the most information can be found in the summary sticky. It says what the program is, what each of the workouts is, and how each lift progresses. There's also links to a lot of useful videos and sources for how to do the lifts.
