Hey everybody, Wow, I'm really impressed with all the weight that's being lifted here! Well, yesterday I completed session 11 of SL. Almost 4 weeks completed! Here are my stats for the 5x5: Squats - 95 lb. Bench Press - 70 lb. Barbell Row - 90 lb. OHP - 65 lb. Deadlift - 135 lb. I'm still amazed that I can lift this amount…

Hmm... guess I need to look at my profile (I made it some time ago). I'm not sure why that is. We are not military so we don't have access to the base. But we live about 2 miles from Bolling. My sister is military but we certainly couldn't rely on her to get us on base 3X a week. I wish!

We started with just the Olympic bar, which weighs 45 lbs.by itself, and added 20 lbs. for the row. So we both followed the 45, 45, 65 that the program recommends. And boy were we sore! We added 5lbs to everything yesterday, but I'm not as sore as I was. It's hard to imagine adding 5 lbs. every workout, but we'll see!

Thanks everybody! I'm excited too! nd yes, it is great to have a workout buddy. But...that first workout really traumatized my husband! LOL Don't get me wrong, my legs are sore too. But I've been doing other workouts; he hasn't worlked out since February. And he thought that because we did squats with only the bar that it…
