I'm going to be trying Stronglifts 5x5 so I thought I'd make a blog about. Here's the program to anyone interested. I am 21 years old and 5'8.
http://stronglifts.com/5x5/#Summary_of_Stronglifts_52155Right now my stats are:Weight: 165 lbs
Squat: 255 x 5
Bench: 185 x 1
Deadlift: 225 x 5 (lmao2plaet)
Barbell Row: 175 x 5
Overhead Press: 55 x 5
My goals are:Weight: any
Squat: 315 x 3
Bench: 225 x 3
Deadlift: 315 x 3 (lmao3plaet)
Barbell Row: 225 x 3
Overhead Press: 75 x 3
I don't care how much I weigh because I just want to be able to do the lifts.
I also don't really have any sort of time frame because it takes me as long as it's going to take me, whether that's 3 months or 3 years.
One of the problems I have going into this workout program is that I don't have a spotter, so I probably can't progress on bench as fast as I could. Also, starting out the program they recommend starting with about half the weight you normally do so you can ease into squatting 3 times a week... but I don't want to do that. I'll go a little bit lighter though.
