I NEED LIFTING FRIENDS!

I am embarking on my lifting journey and strengthening my core and upper body.

what about your lower body?

Hi,

I too am very motivated to lift. BUT I want to learn about it first. Please feel free to add me. I need all the help I can get. Does anyone have any idea what would be needed for home equipment?

Also good for you for doing this. I can't wait to get started

Don't neglect your lower body!

huge muscle group (the largest) you'll be missing out on if you don't train those suckers :drinker:

Not experienced, but happy to help when I can

Touche!! I promise NOT to forget about my lower body. I do A LOT of squats, lunges and such, and my upper body is more of a focus because the strength isn't even lacking, its essentially non existent. But I will make it a point to find balance!

fair enough

^^ This. I'm doing New Rules now and really like it. I like heavy lifting, so I'm doing a hybrid with StrongLifts.

I would never forget about you! I just wasn't sure if it was best for a beginner

I'd never done barbell lifts except for bench press with incorrect form, and it's what I started with in January. Personally, I did SL over something like NROL4W because there were so many complaints that the later phases were confusing and difficult. In that sense, I find SL very straight forward and easy. But, everyone is probably different on what they consider "easy" or "beginner worthy".

I'm relatively new to all this stuff to, so good to have people who are on a similar journey!!
