Great job... Vanguard1. Keep at it.

You can add me.

Two sets of 5 at 50% of your workout weight then begin your workout

Stronglifts 5x5.

I use the stronglifts 5x5 program, it basically starts with an empty bar, and you go up from there. It's a great way to begin lifting weights.

Are you still at it? What are your numbers looking like now?

I have been back on the program for about two weeks now. Dropped back down to empty bar and working my way back up, after being off quite a while due to back injury.

looks like everyone is doing great. Failure is part of the process. just keep pushing. if you ever watch any of Mehdi's videos... he has several failures also.

I really like the StrongLifts 5x5 program. After being off and on the program (due to sporadic.. work schedule) for about a year. my current numbers are: squat 135# Bench 145# OHP 110# Rows 135# Deadlifts 225#

Great job.

WOW 20 years.... just like riding a bike. It was about a 10 year leave for me. started back doing StrongLifts 5x5

Great job at the meet.

the Play it again sports store near me doesn't have any power racks. (oh, they could order me one new) so I'm building my own from lumber and 1 inch pipe. I found plans online.

How's everyone progressing.... I've been slow, but steady. Hit failure a couple of times on OHP.

still working with my StrongLifts program. Looking to build a Power Rack, for my home gym,

Stronglifts has another program after you advance on from the 5x5 program. Just check the website for it.

I've been on and off SL 5x5 for about a year (why so erratic??) work schedule changes, and injury. however I love the program, and have gained size and strength.

this guys point of view.... Boxer briefs.

welcome. I lift at home, with an Olympic set. The neighborhood fitness center has no power rack.

good luck. Hope the break brings you back stronger than ever. :)

StrongLifts is the program I use. When I was injured, (lower back) I lowered the weight on the bar. maybe you could just use empty bar or do squats without a bar.

AGREE. I don't talk to, or treat women this way. ALL MEN are not this way.

I agree. he's just being mean.

I use creatine pre & post workout. teaspoon prior and teaspoon after. Drink plenty of water regardless. I drink 1 US Gallon per day.

glad you had a great time here in the Mid-west. I live in Wisconsin about an hour drive to Minnesota where Patrick is.

WOW great lift.
