Thanks for your encouragement! @GottaBurnEmAll I do SL at home. I use 5 ft barbell for deadlifts because I don't have room for full length & don't need that much weight. I can get all I need with this bar. DB or KB for squats because no squat rack. KB or DB for rows because i don't like barbell rows due to low back arthtitis. DB for CP and OHP because no rack for bench and so limited on OHP there's no point in doing BB. I do 2x week only but 4 exercises per day. I alternate CP and OHP. I do DL, squat, & row every day. This summer i've added some additional core work, just because I felt like it would benefit me. This is what works for my schedule, my space, and my body. I feel a bit "guilty" not folllowing the program as written since such a big deal is made about that. But you gotta do what works for you and @middlehaitch and others encourged me in this direction.5

That sounds like it would be perfect for me, actually. It would suit my preferences and abilities. Thanks for sharing. I need to find a bar like you have. I already have adjustable dumbbells and I've ordered a thingy from Amazon that I can use to put the plates on to use as a kettlebell (good for goblet squats which I'd probably do).
Again, thank you!2 -

Thanks so much, I'll check them out!1 -
I have a long way to go...but the pic on the left was taken on week 5 of Stronglifts (July 10th), and the pic on the right was taken on August 14th. I didn't start seeing physical changes until week 6 or so. I'm loving it so far!

I’m starting this program Tuesday. I have lost 60 pounds since August but I have been rehabbing a knee so it has all been diet. I can’t wait to start now that my knee is doing better. Any other ladies currently doing this program?0

I started this program today and I loved it. I have lost 59 pounds in the last 4 months by diet alone. I was rehabbing a knee. Today I started strong lifts and the couch to 5k program for cardio. Using the free weights is definitely stepping outside my comfort zone but my awesome hubby went to the gym and coached me today. Anyone else out there doing StrongLifts?1
