I know!! One day I tried one hour zumba after SL. I really felt it in my body after that. Since then, I do not do any after SL day. I still do zumba every other just 2 days a week. But feel weared because I used to do swimming & zumba almost everyday. Then, I did some machine weights afterword. But SL is totally different.…

Sprinkels29, Thank you very much for your response! I am grateful for this group and support. I would not know how to keep going without this group. Ok, I think I needed to increase my weight to 2.5 pounds (not 5 pounds). So I would go back own to 55 pounds for the next session. Then, I will move up to 57.5 pounds. I will…

Is it same thing as dead lift?

I am on the third week, and what you said is very true. I was very hungry today because I did not eat enough protein yesterday. Thank you for your comment.

Official SL web site and become facebook friend with SL had so some good insight for improving my squat. http://stronglifts.com/squat-clinic-lower-back-pain-mitch/ http://stronglifts.com/squatting-newbie-mistakes-technique-exercise/ And I love this site because it is such encouragement.…

That helps me. I lost another pound this week. I am trying to increase protein, but it has been hard. I guess I will start increase weight the next 5-6 weeks or so.

a_vettestingr : That is great progress!! Great job! It really motivates me. My back felt funny when I moved to deadlift the second time. But I, too, admit it was my squat. I realized my gluteus and hamstring have been so weak, and I can not even perform overhead squat. I am 42, and all my life avoiding to use those…

I have never done exercise break,,,. I even did exercise during my summer vacation (and gained weight ). But I guess I can try. Can I do stretch and yoga type of thing during break? or should I do complete nothing,,,.

Thanks for the reply. :)

This is my second week too. I noticed that my left side is weak side. If I am not careful the bar swing side to side. I am happy about this because I can work on my core as I lift. I too had to remain my squat weight 50 (lowered some) just make sure I can do correctly before increase. I have chronic knee problem as well,…

Lol. You have done amazing job.

My second week SL. Weight- the same: Waist : 29 inch to 28 inch Hip: 36 inch to 34.5 inch I am feeling more satisfied in eating due to increase intake on protein. I know now that I needed more protein. I used to eat more carb,, which is not good.

Thank you all for the reply. I will look into Amason and other places. :)

Your lift weight seems more than 5 pounds each week. How did you do that? I thought we are suppose to increase 2.5 to 5 pounds each week. Is it 2.5 to 5 pound each lift?

I know some of group member mentioned that they are really scared at first to increase cal. I felt this only my first 2-3 days. I felt better immidiately especially when I worked my nightshift. I had been so tired and tried not to eat over 1200 cal. The next day after the nightshift, I used to feel so exausted and still…

Hi, Nightnurse2. I am glad that I was not the only one did this. Now I am having lower back pain. AWWWW. Doing ice etc. I hope it is just strain. So You are nightnurse too? I am. :)

Tameko2, I read your instruction of SL for woman. Thank you for the posting. So when you fail, then you back the weight and stay? For how long?

Thank you, Susie Q for your reply. I hope your third attempt to 55# will be successful tonight. I did my #2 routine on first week today. I am really sleepy (I guess my small muscle needs that). I will keep trying to see how much I can increase the weight.

Girlie100, Thank you. That is what I understand. I am scared to increase weight because I do not know if I will make it or not. But I will try.

I checked on SL website at first and I was little confused about for women. Thank you. This is better. I will learn to stick to it.

OK, I am practicing SL on squat. I was shocked that I get muscle ache on my butt, gluts, everything. I have been having my knee pain for years, and I am excited that I read about squat helps knee to get better. This is my first week. I did my bench press with 50 ib yesterday. And I sept like a baby (exhausted). I will see…
