Found Stronglifts and loving it

[RobP38]

My name is Rob and I was recently hospitalized for heart failure. After meeting with my heart doctor, I am on new medication now and I have been given a clearance to work out. Joined a gym in my area and initially I got a trainer to run me through a program. I didn't really care for the program and began looking for ways to gain strength, and found this site.

Due to years of inactivity due to my heart condition, I could not even do the bar initially for squats, but I am happy to say after nearly 2 weeks, I am doing the bar and more.

I am doing HOMAD (Half a gallon of milk a day) instead as I already have a gut, and over the last several weeks, I have noticed that although I am not gaining or losing, I am getting stronger.

I am so glad there are excellent sites like these with so much positive information and helpful people.

I hope to contribute when I can here from my perspective and just want to say hi to everyone.
