25/10/2012 Workout DAY 2 SQUATS 12.5 KG 5X5 OVERHEAD BARBELL PRESS 10KG 5X5 DEADLIFT 25KG 1X5 SQUATS were okay . Smith Machine is my only option for squats , no squat or power rack any tips on how to maintain form on it ?? DEADLIFT was easy as well there was a time i could do 80kgs but will get back there . Will try and get a vid sometime next week . Postworkout food was a a cup of oatmeal with 500ml milk , 10-12 almonds , a banana and some peanut butter . Time for some more fruits . @ vegan_rossco Hey mate its really good to hear from you , i read your log you look pretty good in the pictures and i am glad to have some company here !

23/10/2012 I did my first workout yest and i am starting from scratch , i am not adding the barbell weight as the gym doesn't have standard Barbells the one they have is abt 17kgs and the only place to squat is the smith machine , i know lot of cons but that's the only gym i can afford and at least i'm squatting right ? My diet well its more like 50% carbs and 25% of fats and proteins ( around 100gms ) consisting mainly of milk , soy , cooked vegetables , peanut butter etc . DAY 1 SQUATS 10KG 5X5 BENCH PRESS 10KG 5X5 ROWS 10KG 5X5 Tomorrow is Deadlift day lets see how that goes .

After 2 yrs of on and off training i am finally deciding to stick to something simple and that's how i stumbled on Stronglifts 5x5 . I am a beginner despite some training and will be starting the program from scratch . Looking forward to all the suggestions and tips from you all . Regards

Hey everyone I am from India , been a vegetarian since birth , started as a ethical belief but now is more of a moral decision . I have been working out on and off for over 2 yrs now no real gains really , just a decent frame with 13.5 inchs of biceps and not much to show about . I will be starting with StrongLifts soon and hope to have all of your help along my new journey to an increased fitness . Namaste as they say in India
