Hi ladies -

I am on my first week of Stronglifts, and it feels soooo good. For years I ran a sculpture and ceramics studio and was pretty strong - then I became a mommy, left my job, and got all weak. Not good. So even though I only have one day under my belt, I can already tell I'm going to love lifting.

Just wanted to say hello, and am looking forward to learning from all of you!

Kira

    Hi Kira, Welcome! I hope you will like it here.

    I'm on my first official week, although I took several weeks working on form first.

    Thanks, everyone! All of your enthusiasm is psyching me up for workout B tomorrow. My quads are pretty achy from Wednesday still, but that's not gonna stop me. The funny thing - I remember thinking during my squats "This is way too light. I should have put some weight on the bar. This won't hurt at all." LOL Now I'm excited to see how my body responds to more lifting.
