Who else gets a lil nervous for big lifts?

[Turbulent]

this is why i got off strong lifts. that heavier, heavier, heavier shyt was going to eventually get me injuried.

Word. I thought I was the only one who felt like that. I was stuck on a few of my lifts for a few weeks. I ended up moving on to another program.

I just started benching a few weeks ago after only doing squats, militarys, and deads. I can tell there's going to be a fear factor there because there is the possibility of that bar coming down on you like that cat from USC. Deads, if it's too heavy - that shyt aint coming off the ground. lol

gotta disagree on this. on stronglift you start so light (45 pounds on squats, 90 on deadlifts) and increase so slowly that chances are you won't get injured. plus according to the program, you're not suppose to increase weight forever. they recommend switching to an intermediate program after you achieve certain set goals (1.5 body weight for 5X5 on squats and maybe 2 times bodyweight for 5X5 on deads). if you follow the plan exactly (no increasing weight more than you should, no skipping sessions, follow good form, no extra reps til failure, and stop if you feel you won't be able to rep the next one) and if you sleep well and eat decent, there shouldn't be any problems/injury.
