This was my last set of 275, feels like my form was breaking down a little but I'm not to sure. Nothing hurting l, definitely felt a pump in my lower back but no pain but I'm past weight I did back when I did this routine a long time ago.
Would it be a smart idea to invest into the belt?
I know StrongLifts isn’t an “aesthetic” routine or a weight loss one, but when you actually enjoy what you’re doing, it becomes way easier to stay consistent.
I’ve been running SL 5x5 while eating in a small calorie deficit.. aiming for roughly ½ lb loss per week. I’m tracking protein, fiber, and carbs so I have enough fuel to keep getting stronger even as the scale slowly drops. The numbers on the bar are still moving up, and that’s what keeps me motivated.
Still got a long way to go, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come and figured my progress might help motivate some of you who are grinding it out right now.
