IвЂ™m currently 5 weeks in, out of the recommended 12 weeks, and so far my feedback is pretty positive. Workout 2 вЂ“ Squats 5Г—5, Overhead Press 5Г—5, Deadlifts 5Г—5 Workout 1 вЂ“ Squats 5Г—5, Bench Press 5Г—5, Barbell Row 5Г—5 You run on a 1/2/1 then 2/1/2 basis, working out 3 times a week. There are 5 exercises involved which are splitВ into Workout 1 and Workout 2. You start off with lighter weights to begin with and gradually increase as you successfully complete sessions. Make sure you take just enough rest time until you feel like you can do the next set, donвЂ™t mess about. One of my friends recommended the Stronglifts 5Г—5 routine and this is how IвЂ™m getting on so far.Д«roken down to its core, the Stronglifts 5Г—5 plan consists of 5 reps and 5 sets for compound exercises, except for Deadlifts, thatвЂ™s just 5 reps with 1 set. I was bored of my gym routing I had going on and was looking for something a little bit different to try out. IвЂ™m just a regular guy trying to get my fitness up where I can. Today actually feeling little sore but threw in 3 sets of curls after the deadlift / squats and overhead presses.I want to start off by saying IвЂ™m not a gym junkie.

Night i get munchies so i eat a apple and carrots then rice cakes 2 or 3 that are 50 calories each fat free carmel ones with some milk. Lunch: hardboil egg 1 or 2 with hot sauce, tunafish sandwich, some sun chips and fruitДinner: cottage cheese(same non fat) with tunafish and grill chicken breast and tomato's with carrots and other veggies with hot sauce and pepper Most the time this is what i eat switch up dinner sometimes to beans rice with little cheese and chicken or steak too.Д«reakfast : cottage chesse non-fat with fruit and then small bowl shredded wheat with frosting with 1% milk, (so i guess i have been switching it up between tuna and salmon and looks liek salmon is better for me as far as mercury content so ill eat mostly that now i guess) Interesting says if i eat 4oz of tuna a day every day the week then i have 215% Thank you good points, i eat same thing almost now everyday, My friend said i eat to much fish tho and to watch out for mercury but i will check on that now. I have spent much of 20 in it only to hurt myself trying to come back too fast and have an asshat in the gym bump into my weights. My plan is to complete my project and get that on-board for 2012. Both will more than likely need surgery, but I am too busy this year to schedule. I am dealing with two major injuries now that have made it impossible to hit the gym. In a year you will have transformed, keep up with it for 5 to 10 and you will majorly be transformed and 'different' than those around you. You have to know it won't happen overtime, but if you go down for a week or month that you just pick up where you left off. You have to realize injuries and sidelining will happen.

Those latter two the cause for many injuries when working too fast. You are pulling into the equation a lot more muscle fibers, tendons and ligaments. So i dont increase the weight after each time just do 5 of the same weight then next time add 10 pounds? (i messed up and did 5 sets of 1 and added 10 pounds each time last time i did it) I just reread it and noticed it said 1 set of 5 and not 5 sets of 1 ugh.ДЄgain sorry for my lack of brain =P any replys be nice even if to make fun of meДЄnother important thing when starting 'stronglifts', since they are large compound motions the risk for injury goes up much more. So i been adding 20 then 10 then 10 then 10 (just working with what i got) Id love to throw in some more exercises besides the 3 sets of 5 (just doesnt seem like enough) Had some more questions but i forgot what they are (guess didnt sleep enough last night =) )ДЄlso says for dead lifts to just do one set of 5.

I been doing every other day lifting for while now with cardio and ab's on my day off.ДЄLso the program says to increase by only 5 pounds for each set, but i dont have alot of tiny 2.5 pound weights to put on each side. So im doing StrongLifts and it says to do 5x5 and wait 48 hours between each one, but why take the weekends off? says most people do mon wed fri.
