I only lift 3 days per week. Sometimes Mon Wed Fri and sometimes Thu Sat Mon. Not including warm up and stretching after my lifting only takes about 45-60 minutes. I am still new at this myself, but I think that muscle & strength gains are dependent as much on what you don't do. A body needs off days to recover and rebuild…

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed the pins on the squat and already fixed that. Also saw the rounded back on the DL and working on that as well, but will pay more attention to setup and being over the bar.

Bump -- past the weight by a few lifts but still looking for any advice to correct or improve...

Well after watching the vide a few times I will try and critique myself... Squat. Lower the pins. Don't want to be raising up on toes to get the weight off even ever so slightly. Center the weight better on the shoulders. (after watching 1 time I measured the bar and found the scoring on the bar to be slightly off center.…

Started Stronglifts 2nd week of Janaury with bar only. Meant to have these up at the begining of February but things happen... Anyway, working sets are now starting to feel like work so I could use a critique before things get too far out of whack. Squat http://youtu.be/aHUAV2dh_Ao Overhead Press…

Great Advice - didn't think about some of us resoluter's wanting to sell on the cheap. I will definitely keep an eye on Craigslist. Since I am starting out at bar weight on all exercises, and doing several warm-up sets before the work sets, I am figuring that the warm-up sets will really be all the warm up I need…

Yah me neither. Was just thinking about a bike to save wear on the legs. Just finished reading about and watching stronglifts vids on youtube and thinking now I will just stick with at most some dynamic stretching and plenty of warm up sets while starting out.

Yeah .. when I got my son started I was able to download a bunch of the videos and have them queued up on a computer in the workout area. I knew I wouldn't be the right person to demonstrate form so I made my son watch the vids many times while he was starting out. He progressed quickly, but after he was more comfortable…

Thanks for reading and replying Doh,,, re read my post and lift days were off. Meant to say Mon Wed Fri (not Mon Tue Wed) I know my BMI is high, but don't think I'm in too bad of shape. Started tracking various things Jan 1 and my daily step counts are 5000-8000 (a bit of stairs in there). I was using several different…
