I have always been fit and athletic but recently have decided that I want to work on strength…
I have started the 5x5 workout…
A day - squat, bench, barbell row
B day - squat, overhead press, deadlift
I do other stuff in addition but this what I revolve around right now
I am 5’7.5"
151 lbs
I definitely lack upper body strength right now … so every day adding weight is rather exciting. I am hoping by posting my progress and getting some feedback I will be more motivated and more successful in reaching my goals.

I have had five views already!! I better make this more exciting!!
So i will put my last workout ( yesterdays ) up
Don’t forget I am just starting so I know my numbers are low… the goal is to up weight by 5 lbs every workout… so far so good except for barbell row where I am already stuck…
Ok so this is Day 8 ( not consecutive but the 8th day I have done the workout)
I weighed in at 153.3 today…:S
Workout B
Squat
2x5 @ 45 lbs
1x5 @ 55 lbs
1x5 @ 65 lbs
1x5 @ 75 lbs
5x5 @ 80 lbs
Overhead Press
2x5 @ 45 lbs
1x5 @ 55 lbs
5x5 @ 60 lbs ( this was pretty hard for me, very last rep was MEEESSSSSSSY) so prob won’t increase weight on that next time
