Just started Stronglifts 5x5

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

3 days/week of squats .

You'll definitely feel a surge of testosterone but might have to opt for some "relaxed fit" pants if the thighs grow.

I’d have my headphones on and avoid eye contact with everyone in the gym

I've done this one and off since forever, one thing I wouldn't worry about is the weight, you'll be surprised at how fast the weight increases if you're consistently going 3x week.

Might Brehs need to just make that future investment now.

Yep. Born in Decatur. Grew up in the country. Back to the city for college.

If you are going 3 days a week, you add weight in a hurry. You have to tune out the jackasses that ask why you are lifting such low weight. Keep pounding our the reps/sets/days/weeks and they won't have anything to say in a month or two.

Hypertrophy is real. You will start noticing yaself more diesel one morning out of nowhere

 

[Inf1ne]

You from Georgia?

and yeah I did 10 bench reps and 10 row reps.

I played high school bball but never lifted really, sohh i've got gym experience but nothing major. 6'3, 180

U right at the weight where pull ups become a mass gaining exercise in addition to a calisthenic

 

[Rawtid]

I can never stick to a program. I tried this and got bored after two weeks

Same here. I can only do "challenges" 1-2 weeks at a time.

 

[Dolla$]

Did anyone actually finish this program ?

 

[semtex]

I recommend 3x5 on a cut, 5x5 for bulking. No matter what your fitness level.

 

[Dolla$]

Week 1 down. Working on week 2

Did 60 lb squat, 50 lb OH press and 110 lb deadlift

I recommend 3x5 on a cut, 5x5 for bulking. No matter what your fitness level.

Why is this?

 

[semtex]

Why is this?

You want less volume on a cut since you’re working with less calories. 3x5 lets you maintain maybe even gain strength during the cut
