basically. that's what i like about the program. at first it's very motivating cause you keep adding wait and the sessions are relatively shortI feel you
I am more excited to keep adding weight. thats so dope because each time at the gym will be a challenge
I'm doing the stronglift as well. started around april (i think i made a thread about it on theDay one:
I completed the squats, bench press and barbell row!
5 reps of 5 sets of each.
I broke a little sweat even with just the bar
The squats were the hardest. It was hard to keep my feet straight because my feet always have been weird pointing to the side
the muscle above my knew kindda hurts. i can feel the impact the squats had on my legs.
as far a your feet, i don't think you're suppose to have them point straight ahead. i think it's best to have them at 30-45 degree angle pointing outward. that might be why the muscles around your knees are hurting. also when you go down on the squat, have your knees go outside (this will save your knees).
take advantage of the fact that the weight is low so you can practice good form more (the most important thing about lifting, trust me i learned the hard way).
as far as the weights, for squats, you're suppose to add 5 pounds (2.5 pounds on each side of the bar) every session. so every week you add 15.
for deadlifts you add 10 pounds (5 on each side of the bar) everytime you have a deadlift day. everything other exercise (benchpress, overhead, B.Row) you add 5 pounds (2.5 on each side) every session.
when i got into stronglift the thing i downloaded from the webside said to start at 80 pounds for both the barbell row and the deadlift. i think he changed it since then but that's what i heard.
final piece of advice i can think of: listen to MMS.
stay dedicated and follow the plan. congratulations on deciding to change your life fam!
i said this to him too
