    Last workout of my first week of Wendler. I've been a bit of an emotional roller coaster lately because my weight has been stuck again (even knowing it's shark week doesn't help) and my measurements haven't changed, but then I just ordered two dresses in a size medium and they fit perfectly. Last year I was in all L/XLs. I know I'm making progress, it's just so slow lately.

    OHP 1x5 @ 45, 55, 60
    Bench press 3x12 @ 52
    Lat pulldowns 2x10 @ 27.5 per side, 1x10 @ 30 lb per side
    Walking lunges: 2 sets of 20

    Short workout today; I just realized the nausea and vertigo I felt yesterday means I've got a migraine incoming today, so I'm probably lucky to have gotten any workout in. At least they feel short and sweet now that I've moved away from strictly 5x5.
    Squats 1×3 @ 110, 125
    1×3 (+2) @140

    Assisted pullups
    3×3 @ 80 counterweight. Tried the last set with a closer grip and palms in and it felt quite a bit stronger.

    Deadlifts
    3×6 @ 107ish

    Good morning ladies!

    I woke up this morning and went to our workout room and busted out the first (of many) StrongLifts 5x5 workout. Feeling good and determined to make this a habit.

    I strayed from StrongCurves, as 5x5 just seems so much easier, less complicated, more time friendly for me right now. I'm thinking maybe StrongCurves may be the thing I move on to after I run through StrongLifts.

    Question on StrongLifts 5x5 - am I supposed to do the sets all in order? For example, do 5 sets of 5 squats, then 5 sets of 5 bench presses, then 5 sets of 5 rows, etc? And if so, how long do you rest between each set and between each exercise?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    Yes you do them in order. Rest time is 1 1/2 minutes between sets unless you fail then 3 minutes. Get the app and it does all of that for you.
