When I started it took 30 minutes. 3+ months into it now and it takes 60 minutes.

Listen to what cajuntank said about protein. You will gain muscle in a calorie deficit if you eat enough protein to build the muscle. If you don't eat enough protein you will struggling to retain the muscle you have now. The link cajuntank provided is an excellent group with helpful moderators. The best group on…

Dont be afraid to fail, it's part of the program. I recently failed 9 squat sessions in a row because of knee pain, yes, i said 9 in a row. Now I am squatting 3x5 as the program is outlined and my knees feel much better. I cant wait to get more fails and deloads on my overhead press so i can drop those down to 3x5.

3 stalls at 115, deloaded to 100, now stalled twice at 125.

Welcome. You weren't kidding when you said you cut your calories way back. I would suggest more protein, maybe a protein shake after your Stronglifts workout to start with. If you need to justify more calories, protein builds muscle and the more muscle you have the more calories your body will burn per day.

Thanks for the advice guys. When I unracked the weight for the second set I knew I wasn't going to make all my reps. Rather than risk hurting it more I decided to finish at a lower weight instead of quitting the workout. I will buy bands tonight. I will call it a stall and try the same weight next time if my warm up sets…

On squats I would use the Olympic bar so you can squat in the rack. I think you will have more confidence in the safety of the rack and you will not have to ask someone to help you to get the weight on and off your back. On overhead press did you get 5 reps on all 5 sets? If you did then try the 30 pound bar. Your arms…
