Workout 2 done.
Deadlift 65lbs
lat pulldown 80lbs
Shoulder press and lunges - 20lb dumbells

I'm a little sore from yesterday. I think I will stick to sunday, tuesday, thursday schedule. I'm also incorporating run/ walk interval training on Mon, wed, fri if life allows it :-)

Good luck!

OK so a bit of a dilemma that just appeared this morning. I had planned on having my routine be

M: Personal Trainer (Circuit Training)

T: Light Cardio

W: Rest

Thurs: NROLFW

Fri: Light Cardio

Sat: NROLFW

Sun: Rest

However, my personal trainer would like to start doing a larger group on M/W/F for an hour each and the price would be the same per month as the one time a week small group I'm doing...I really can't pass up the opportunity.

Any ideas how I can incorporate the two? I have a feeling one will have to knock the other out of contention

BTW the circuit training with my personal trainer uses *similar* exercises as NROLFW but its at a higher intensity and many more reps.

I would love to join in too. Been doing Stronglifts for quite some time now and was looking for a change since I was adding lifts anyway. I have the book and am looking through the beginning. I will rush through to the workouts to join you and start Tues. Then Tues. Thurs. Sat or sun. Friend me if you wish. I love the free weight room and am not afraid to try lifting more!!. Has anyone looked into the diet aspect, or are you just doing the workouts?

I forgot my appointments this week! I had a dental cleaning today and tomorrow I get my birthday braces put on my teeth! This means I can't start until Wednesday.

Would it be too hard to do 3 days in a row? Weds-Fri?

I only have access to weights during the work week.

Hi everyone! Just found this thread/group, and did my first workout today at lunch!! I'm not going to lie, it took me a while to figure out what the order was supposed to be of exercises- but once I figured it out, it was simple! I started with no idea of what I could lift, so probably the next workout will be a bit more weight. Well, actually, the next workout will be completely different- but the one after that.
Anyway, feel free to add me! It's good to have support!
Thanks!
:drinker:

:laugh:

I dont think it will be hard. Be prepare to be sore. I did the first two workouts back to back and I took a rest day today. When i started training in Jan I was doing 4 - 5 days a week. So Ive gotten used to something hurting all the time.

He does recommend that you give yourself at least one rest day (i.e no lifting) though

so your muscles have time to recover.

I just started today too! I really like the program a lot but my problem is that my gym is planet fitness so I can't do dead lifts or squats there but in my bf's very yucky basement he has a barbell and other things so I did the first workout there in the semi-darkness among a lot of dust and dried up cat hairballs lol I need to get a stability ball and I should be all set! Oh and convince him to clean that place up since I'll be using it three times a week! I'm planning on doing MWF too.

I started today if it isn't too late to join, I'd love to be part of the group. I did my first workout and somehow managed to make sense of everything and got through it. A little nervous for a new workout on Monday, but feeling far more confident now that I survived the first one...
