what a great resource!

A good addition may be some links as to where to get hydrostatic testing done.

Sticky-worthy for sure!!

this looks great! the calories don't include the crust shown in the picture, right?

oooh - as a home gym person, can't wait! (though I did get my squat cage and weights for the holidays!) I love 30DS as well - good high intensity workout - I know my HR gets up to about 150 when I push it!

Love Jefit!

Here is what I used as a guide to warmup sets: http://stronglifts.com/5-rules-to-find-your-perfect-warm-up-weight/

I started out at the prescribed weights even though it seemed "easy". I focused on form and getting the routine. It progresses quickly - I am now just done with week 5 and have had to slow my weight increases on some lifts. I used this spreadsheet and I think I started out at like 65 instead of 45. Use just the bar for…

Watching and waiting....I've actually been doing both - Stronglifts 3 days/week, then HIIT sprints (9.5mph on the treadmill, 30 sec on, 30 sec off) on my off days, then 1 full day of rest.

Good info. I am going to up my rest between sets - I have only been doing 1 min - and see if that helps. I am in my 4th week and have just stalled on the OHP. The other lifts are progressing as described.

Glad I found this thread. I have a deload coming up and was looking for some good guidelines

Big night last night - Squat - 110 OHP - stalled at 65 so deadloading next week DL - 150 - a little more than my bodyweight!!!!!! I can't believe how strong I feel. I know I can squat more as the 5 sets aren't easy, but I know I can go up the 5 lbs next session. The DL was hard, but I did it!

Thanks for posting! A nice concise list all in one place!

^^ Sigh, this......

Great question. I am doing 8-10 for accessory lifts right now in addition to my 5x5 program.

^^ This - VERY impressive!!!

Good info! I agree about the squats too!

Lots of god info. I have purchased the Flexible Diet book and have been reading up on whatever I can to learn. Hoping to take advantage of newbie gains as I'm in my 4th week of stronglifts and loving it.

I thought this too! I only do 5 sets of 3 exercises and it takes me almost an hour!

Love the chocolate and vanilla! I also have the unflavored that I use in baking and stuff like pancakes

good info for future reference!

Been wondering about this too for the future. I'm not quite where OP is yet, but will get there and like to hear options/opinions.

^^This! Seems like when I do my warm up sets for squats my knees pop/crack with every set. Once I get some good weight on there, they go quiet. I also notice I have to make sure I push my knees out both down and up on squats. If I start thinking about something else form wise and let them come in even a little, they…

I actually just get plain peanut flour - it is just like PB2 but cheaper and with no added sugar and salt. I mix it with water to make PB, use it in smoothies too and it's great for travel! I get 2 lbs for about $11

i got all of my weights and bench off Craigslist. There is also a couple used fitness places around me that I plan on hitting for more weights (.50/lb) this weekend as I've maxed out my current set

Isopure Vanilla - I mix it with just water all the time.

I'm with you on this, but hubby insists on a holiday present to help me along. I may try to convince him just to get me weights and a bench and nix the power cage, but sometimes there is no stopping him.
