Beginner injury. :(
So... during my first Workout B, I did 5x5 Deadlifts instead of 1x5. D'oh! :( I've been paying for it ever since with weird back twinges and weaker rows & squats. Whenever I try to stand up straight from bending forward, I get a shooting, sharp pain in my lower back. I've deloaded from 105 to 85 lbs for squats so far. My…

Rowing from the floor?
Hi! Today was Day 1 for me with SL (I downloaded the SL iOS app and really liked its simplicity.) I was reading this article on the SL site about form: http://stronglifts.com/how-to-master-barbell-row-technique/ and got to this part: 1. Row Each Rep From The Floor. Because you’ll never train your upper-back fully if you…

Do calipers work regardless of body type?
This is a total newbie question that I hope isn't a repeat topic (nothing came up on Search): Since some people carry their weight in their midsections, while others carry it elsewhere - like in their hips ...can calipers be used to measure the BF% of both body types? It seems like the BF% will be significantly different…

Would a damaged metabolism show up on an RMR test?
Hello, all. I had my RMR tested today for free at my company gym using New Leaf equipment. At 5'3"/147 lbs/31%BF, the New Leaf machine reported my RMR at 1652. My question is: "Could this number have been inaccurate (inflated) if my metabolism is depressed?" or another way of asking the question would be, "Would my RMR -…

Question for yoga teachers
If you have a student who is pregnant, when does it become important for you to know about that fact? I am only 5 wks along, and don't feel comfortable talking about my pregnancy openly just yet. I've continued to practice 2-3 times/wk without telling my teachers. However, I want to avoid unnecessary risks, so maybe I…

Starting 5x5 with bad back and shoulders?
Hi there! I've been lurking for a week or so and really liking this group. Tameko, your sticky is super helpful. Thanks!! My question is about my injuries.

Starting heavy lifting, trying to get pregnant
Hi, mamas - I'm very new to MFP. I'm in the process of adding heavy lifting to my workout regimen. I mostly just run and do power yoga at the moment. Only problem is (ok I have a few other injury-related problems, but I'll just ask about this one for now), I'm hoping to start trying for baby #2 in the next few month. I…
