Great job, Lyndsey! Looking good!0

I have been lurking around threads on MFP SL 5x5 - even signed up for the emails from Medhi - which are great. I plan to try it out when I finish the weight loss phase and into maintenance. Great results - I am really motivated by the increase in weight lifted. I got the programme spreadsheet from Medhi and was slightly sceptical that someone could increase their lifts in that period of time. 10/10 to you. Now off to read your blog!0

I wouldnt move to isolated workouts unless you have plateaued.
Keep getting those beginner/novice gains till they stop.0 -
Great job! I purchased the book about a month ago to start the program and . . . . . lets just say I'm STILL on page 15. Guess I need to pick that book back up and be committed.
Love seeing these kind of posts/results from lifting :flowerforyou: .0 -
Amazing progress! I am just finishing stage one of NROL4W and am so happy to see I have many more programs to work when I finish this one! You reminded me that I really need to be taking more progress pics!0

Congrats on your SL 5x5 progress! Great job! Have been doing it myself, but I would also recommend continuing until plateau. Mehdi mentions 12 weeks because that;s a good time frame, but your gains on the initial program can continue far beyond that!0

I've already had to tweak the program in order to go up in weight. According to the Strength Standards site, I've reached Intermediate level on all of my lifts. I'm definitely not going up 5lbs each workout anymore - far from it.0 -
Great job. Looking awesome0

You look great! I am also doing stronglifts, but I am having difficulty up'ing the weight each time - it seems like you had no problem based on where you started and ended. I had to start at 20 lb barbells (curl barbell) and am up to 40, but I can't seem to make it to 45 to lift the bare barebell! Was there something that helped you?
Also you have fantastic shoulder definition - while I am getting upper arm muscle definition, i still don't see shoulder definition - was there a point when that kicked in? Or do you any other weight lifting? I admittedly really would like well-defined shoulders.
Thanks and great job!0
