Hi ladies,
I've probably had PCOS my whole life, but was officially diagnosed in 2009. After some horrid trouble with my back, I'm working on getting in shape and losing weight. I am interested add weight lifting to my current exercise routine and was wondering what strategies have worked for others to add muscle. I am currently working out 6 days a week, 3 days eliptical for 50 minutes and 3 days water aerobics class, just being in the water helps my back. Thanks!

I did Stronglifts. Work out is three times a week, alternating between workout A and workout B. One is squats, bench press and rows, the other is squats, overhead press and dead lifts. You do 5 sets of 5 of each exercise, except dead lifts, with is one set of five.0
