Hi! I’ve just joined the group and I am really excited to get going. I’ve done some training this summer with a PT and learned a LOT about lifting. Good form. Increased my weights. Etc… I’ve totally fallen off since August and I am super frustrated with myself.  I chose SL over NROWLFW because it seemed so simple to me and that’s what I needed to do this myself. If I don’t see enough improvement, I can go back to the program my trainer had me on (he had me doing pre-exhaust exercises followed by a couple of compound big moves. Push day/Pull day/leg day)

I have a couple of questions. First, I am not at all sure what weight to start with. Should I just go back to Olympic bar with most everything and see how I do? (I’ve got a set at home my husband just got set up for me. Yay!)

Second, I am comfortable with proper form on all SL exercises EXCEPT the overhead press. And truthfully? That one scares me! I am afraid of dropping that weight on myself. Is that irrational? I’ve watched a few videos about form on it, so I think I’ll be ok. But still, the idea of pushing that weight up over my head makes me nervous. LOL

Thanks for any feedback!
