STRONGLIFT 5x5s Anonymous
so bout them stronglift 5x5s

first off, that's alot of squatz. how am I supposed to do cardio on days I do not lift if I'm doing a metric fuck ton of squatz and my legs are gonna be sore as fuck constantly from them ?!?!

Also should there be noticeable progress within the first month or two of doing these, then possibly moving up?

It just doesn't seem that spending 30 minutes in a gym each session for only 3 session a week is gonna do that much

so yea anyway, can anyone give this routine a good review or are there better ones for a partial beginner?

StrongLifts is badass if you're seriously intending to get strong. I wound up squatting something like 210 recently, and that's all the weight I have. I'd only ever squatted 100 in the past... I tinkered with the weight amounts because the amounts listed were not enough to 5x5, soon enough.

Also: just go for a walk if your legs hurt.

have you been only doing the stronglifts 5x5 routine? and for how long?

I can vouch for it. You will gain decent muscle mass. You will gain a fuckton of strength.

The thing is due to my high metabolism I've never bothered with cardio. I warm up for about 10 min on the bikes and that's it.

Once you get a little used to it It's not bad at all.

Workout B
Squat 5x5
Overhead Press 5x5
Deadlift 1x5
Pull-ups/Chin-ups 3xF
>Pull-ups/Chin-ups 3xF

Isn't there something else people can do to sub out for that? I'm pretty sure 95% of the people doing this routine failed at the chin ups and pull ups, moreso if they are fat

They are no problem for me, can squeeze out about 10-15 on the first set, then I dwindle to about 8 or 6

It's about going to failure not about how many you can do

If you can do 10 to 15 pullups or chinups in a row, you should add weight. Belt + plate or rucksack or vest or whatever.

I do, on the second and third set. As recommended, once I hit 15 I started doing weighted.
