New strong lift log time! Have had a terrible year and a bit with the food and training (too much of one and pretty much none of the other) !

Anyway, no excuses onwards and upwards, goal is simple, lose weight. Started a week or so ago, tracking using the SL app, but want a log as well, mainly for motivation !

Start weight as at 2nd January was 259 lbs and at as of 18th January was 249 lbs. Goal weight is 189 lbs so a long way to go.

Calorie intake is 2300 a day. Started with low weights, am about 6 sessions in so far and my next few sessions weights will be -

Squats 35kg
BP 47.5kg
Row 37.5kg
OHP 25kg
DL 60kg

I realise my squat is low, always been my weakest lift but hopefully progressing it three times a week should shoot up quite quickly. Next session is tomorrow.
 
Cheers guys, have been reading all your logs for inspiration :D

Form wise, my squats are pretty decent i think (will get some vid's up) my knee's don't go past my toes, legs have always been neglected by me so they are weak !! Hopefully that's going to change now.

Big fan of the Stronglifts routine, only thing I'd add is doing 3 sets of deadlifts rather than the recommend single set. There's just not enough intensity in one set and it doesn't allow for improvement imo.

Best of luck to you bro.

Cheers mate, I've currently been doing two sets, one deff doesn't feel enough (though guess this might change as the weight goes up). Will give three sets a blast next time.

I wouldnt worry about warming up with rowing or goblet squats

Do some stretches to warm up shoulder and hip aeroplanes and some box jumps, then go into your squat warm ups at 40kg id do 2 sets of empty bar then a couple reps with 30kg.

I train in a v cold garage so the rowing is mainly to get the blood going and warm up my knees. Ditched the gobs today and just went for the bar, bar + 5 and bar + 10 (before bar was a bit too close to my working weight :D).

Squat 5 x 5 - 37.5 kg
OHP 5 X 5 - 27.5 kg
Deads 3 x 5 - 65 kg

All good. Down 2 lbs this week (12 lbs in total).
