End of week 7!

I have to say I am a true believer of SL 5x5! I had been going to the gym on and off for about 4 yrs and never really had any substantial gains or motivation to continue for an extended period of time. Since starting SL 5x5, I can't wait to go to the gym and work out! The results are great, and I believe this program was something I had been looking for all along. I feel like I'm getting back to the basics of what weightlifting was meant to be, not a driven by vanity, but by strenghtening your body and mind. I owe my newfound health and body to Mehdi! Thank you! I still have a long way to go, but I feel great and I know the results will only get better and better!
