Hey everyone. Just started stronglifts 3 weeks ago today. Have lost 166 pounds as you know if you have seen my posts. Now starting to build lean muscle to replace all of the flab/skin, etc. My arms had zero definition just 3 weeks ago. The rest of my upper body is noticeably better too, but am not taking any shirtless pics any time soon. lol A lot more work to be done for sure.

    Great job! Careful though, you get any stronger you'll be setting off the lunk alarms.

    This is for sure. I work out at Planet Fitness and they definitely have that lunk alarm siren. Haha

    stronglifts is a good 5x5 starter program.

    I noticed you said planet fitness... are you doing it with a barbell, or are you trying to do squats on a smith machine?

    Unfortunately on their Smith machine. In a few months I am moving to OHIO and I am going to buy my own squat rack, bench, free weights, etc. when I get there. Don't want to buy more stuff now and have to move it. Until then I am just making do.

    very good plan. If you watch craigslist carefully, you can usually score weights for much cheaper then you can buy them...

    nothing wrong with making do.

    Yeah I know from reading on the stronglifts website I will have to back down in weight quite a bit with no machine. Oh well, as long as it's for a good cause. lol
