I am going to be starting the StrongLifts 5x5 program next week. What is a good recommended starting weight? I see he wants me to start with the 45lb bar..should I really do that?
Hey there! That's exciting you're starting StrongLifts 5x5! It's a fantastic program. Regarding the starting weight, the general recommendation to begin with just the bar (45lb in your case) is actually quite smart. It allows you to really dial in your form and build a solid foundation before adding significant slope to the weight curve. Good luck with it!
