    I do 5x5 and am currently struggling with eating the right amount of food. I love the program but as one person mentioned, it's very taxing on your body. Doing 5x5 is not good for your body at a deficit. Believe me...you need MORE food for repair then you can imagine.

    It's not so much a money and more of a space thing for the rack. We are a family of 4 and a medium sized dog pecked into a 700 sq/ft house. That would be why all the plates are in a bad under the bed lol no where else to put them. We are buying a much larger house in the next 6 months so I will definitely invest in a rack when we move until then I'll just modify things to work with me and our limited space.

    Seems perfect -- ditch the bed (or use the lumber from it to build a squat rack), and boom! you got a weight room -- won't even have to move in the weights.
