    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Hello all,

As you can see from the subject of my post this is my first time here. I have been working out at a local gym 3 to 5 times a week for the past few months. I have gotten some good results using methods and techniques learned from my past experiences with exercise. I have been looking for an easy to start program that can help me get the results I want without going crazy. I have heard of programs like this but they all seem so confusing. Stonglifts 5x5 seems to possibly be the missing link. I am going to read the ebook tonight and start this workout tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice for me the stronglifts newbie? I don't know if this helps but I'm from Western Michigan in the US and am 6'1" and weigh about 185lbs. Here we go!

Welcome to the forums. All I can say is stick with it and you'll get results. Oh, and start up a training log so you can keep track of your workouts and get feedback on your training - there's a lot of knowledgeable people here. Good luck!
