Hey /fit/ I have just started uni again and want to incorporate stronglifts into my daily routine, but I'm going to try for morning workouts instead of working out after classes - the reason being that the uni gyms are usually full after 5.

Anyway, I have 2 questions:
1) Is it alright to be starting stronglifts on your own, or will I need spotters to help me with the squats?
2) I was thinking of a breakfast consisting of cottage cheese, but I'm not sure of the amounts involved, or even if that's the best kind of thing to eat. What about peanut butter?

If you're going for the lowfat, 1% milkfat cottage cheese, then here's a quick table of the nutrition facts.

163kcal/serving of 226g. That's not really much.

Thanks.
What about squat-spotters? :\
It's just that I do Comp. Sci. and the guys in my class aren't exactly the fitness types...

The squats I do, I do them alone since the little "GYM" (it's more like a room in a hotel's basement with a bench, some cardio machines and a few dumbbells) I go to is almost always empty when I'm there.
I don't even have a squat racket, so I'm very limited to what I can, actually, lift.

But for you problem, I suggest you to watch some bodybuilding movies, maybe some literature related to squats. Research the web and see how most of the people do them. In many videos you'll hear the actors mentioning what's important to take care, like the angle of bending your knees, distance between your feet et cetera.

Yeah I've read up a lot on squats like "starting strength" for example, and they emphasise the importance of squatters... I guess I'll just see how it goes, huh?
