Workout A today: Squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 65kg (close to my highest weight, but this time with better form) BP: warm up, 5x5 @ 40kg ( I AM HULK! ... or mini-hulk...) Rows: 5x5 @ 41kg

Oh YEAH! I hate them! They make me feel weak as hell! I'm 8 weeks into stronglifts and made good progress, except for those f.... rows. They suck, they suck, they suck. ahhh, that felt good :D

Sounds like you should just try it. If your maintenance level is around 1900-2000, just try 1700 for 2-3 weeks and see, what happens :) You're still at least 200 calories below TDEE, so maybe the loss will slow down a little, but you will definetly rock that!

Workout A for me today :) Squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 60kg BP: warm up, 5x5 @ 38.5kg Rows: 5/5/5/5/4 @ 41kg Finished week 8 today - sooo happy *_*

Workout B today: squats: warm up, then 5x5 @ 60kg (back down to 60kg at good form :)) OHP: warm up, 5/5/3/5/4 @ 32.5kg DL: warm up today: 1x5 @ 60kg, 1x3 @ 70kg and then 1x5 @ 80kg The new deadlift warm up was way better, felt stronger while doing the actual set :)

I'd love to be on the waiting list for slytherin :)

First: thanks for the warm up advice! I will try some stuff, hopefully it'll help. Today was Workout A: squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 62,5kg bench press: warm up, 5x5 @ 36,5kg rows: 5/5/5/5/4 @ 41kg (I hate rows...)

Workout B today decided to deload on squats - should have done 67.5kg, instead I only did 60kg. It felt so much better. last time, my legs were a little shakey, today I felt more or less invincible :-D Squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 60kg OHP: warm up, 5/4/4/4/5 @32.5kg <-- damn, this is getting hard! DL: warm up, 3@85kg the DL…

Workout A today Squats: warm up, 5/5/5/4/3 @ 67,5 kg / 148,5lbs Bench Press: warm up, 5x5 @ 35 kg / 77lbs Barbell Rows: 5x5 @ 40kg / 88 lbs

Gooosh today was hard. Did workout B today squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 65kg / 143lbs OHP: warm up, 5x5 @ 31kg / 68lbs DL: warn up, 1x2 @ 85kg / 187lbs (my back hurt after 2 reps so I stopped, because I didn't want to risk a worse injury. Now, 30min later everything feels normal, so I think I just moved badly) - 85kg again next…

In the first 2 weeks I got bored in the 1:30 minutes. Now I am in week 6 and the 3 min seem to fly away as I catch my breath and try to get ready. My BF who is also doing stronglifts usually reads 9gag in the rest time

Yesterdays workout A : Squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 62.5kg BP: warm up, 5x5 @ 33kg Rows: sucked, I deloaded to 40kg, still : 5/5/5/4/4

Goooosh, that is motivating! Yesterday I had the struggle with my "not so progress showing" progress pictures after 5 weeks. :) Thank you so much for this text! We have to keep going!

First workout in July was B today: Squats: Rocked the 60kg with 5x5 *strike* OHP: warm up, then 5/5/5/5/4 with 31kg - that was so close, but the damn last rep just didn't go up in the air :-D DL: warm up, 4 @ 80kg, I did the last rep, but my form was really bad so I am redoing it next time again.

Hey there, I am in week 6 now, but I still feel like I just started. If you want, you can add me! I know how it is, not being able to talk to anyone around you. I mostly have the problem, that people (friends and family) keep reacting with "you're lifting? But you will get bigger! Shouldn't you try to lose some weight?"…

I was barely able to walk after my first 3-4 workouts. Now (in week 6) it got way better. You're gonna be fine! For now, try to drink enough, and I read (not that sure if it's really true, but I like to believe it) that one cup of chocolate milk helps with soreness :)

For my june goals: I sticked with stronglifts the whole month! \o/ and still love it. The only big let down today was taking my "progress" pics, which didn't show a single change since I started SL 5 weeks ago.

first day of week 6 - some let downs today ;-) Squats: warm up, 5/5/4/5/5 @ 60kg / 133 lbs BP: warm up, 5x5 @ 32kg / 70.5 lbs Rows: 5/5/4/3/2 @ 42.5kg / 93.7 lbs < i hate rows now!

Just finished week 5 with workout B. And there's another reason to celebrate... squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 57.5 kg / 127 lbs OHP: warm up, 5x5 @ 30 kg / 66 lbs (this is getting reeeaally tough!) and now... for the celebration of the day... DL: warm up, 1x5 @ 75 kg / 165 lbs - YES, I deadliftet my own bodyweight!

Workout A today and rows sucked! :D Squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 55kg / 121lbs BP: warm up, 5x5 @ 30kg / 66lbs Rows: 5/4/4/3/3 @ 42,5kg / 94lbs

because... haaaaawt!

Daaaaaamn! that is freakin awesome!!! Today was B on the schedule: Squats: warm up, 5x5 @ 52,5kg / 116lbs OHP: 5x5 @ 28,5kg / 63lbs DL: 5x5 @ 70kg / 154lbs And now *happy dance* because of the 70kg deadlift *dance* *dance* *dance*

Amaazing progress! You rock! I'm in week 5 and this is some serious extra motivation!!!

I don't track: - black coffee - herbal tea - the small dash lemonjuice I sometimes put in my water bottle - spices (because I only use really small amounts) - sugarfree bubblegum

Celebration Day today! I did my 5x5 squats with 50kg \o/ yiiiiha. Rest of Workout A: BP: 5x5 @ 28kg Rows: 5x5 @ 41kg Also I finished my 4th week today. And I am sooooo exicted for the progress pics I'm gonna make on July 1st. Hope you see some hulk-like muscles (or at least a little bit of a change =D )

I started 5x5 with bent-over barbell rows (where you don't put the bar down). From day 1 I hated them. Then I read about the pendelay rows and tried them, and for me, they work way better. They're not easier, but easier to handle.

Workout B today : Squat: 5x5 @ 47,5kg OHP: 5x5 @ 27kg DL: 1x5 @ 65kg It's week 4 now, and damn it really kicks my *kitten* now ;-)

Today: Workout A: Squat: 5x5 @ 20kg 5x5 @ 20kg 3x5 @ 30kg 5x5 @ 45kg Bench Press: 5x5 @ 26,5kg Barbell Rows: 5x5 @ 40kg ( I DID IT! I DID IT! Failed last time, rocked it today!)

Enjoy it! :) You'll love it!
