Minimalist StrongLifts 5×5: Strength Training with Minimal Equipment | StrongLifts.com

There is the link of what im going to be following from now, im going back to the gym after around 7 weeks out due to being a ****.

The reason im doing the minimalist stronglift is purely because my gym isnt the biggest and equipment is limited. I notice that im being told to floor press but im changing it to bench, hope thats ok.

Also the weight on the barbell do not look heavy at all but i know i can lift it no problem, but im going to follow the program instead of being a berk!

Im 21yr old i weigh 14st and im 6'0ft tall.

Good luck with this. I think the floor press was only recommended because it assumes you have no bench. If you have a bench then of course bench press

Just back (well been in 30mins or so)
It went well i broke sweat quite easy to today was

Squat 20kg 5x5
bench press 20Kg 5x5
power cleans 20kg 5x5
reverse crunch 3x12

Now i know some are going to look at this and think 20kg pffft thats nothing but its the start of the program which i am following and it does increase EVERY session.

Im on back shift this week at work (4:35pm - 12:45am)
So i was up at 10am my meal plans going like this for today

Breakfast- (10:30am)
2 eggs scrambled
2 rash bacon
2 wholemeal slices of toast (would of been granery but there was none)

Preworkout(shake and supps)-(11:00am)
3 BCAA
3 omega soft gels
2 multi vits
1 L-Arginine
25g whey
100g instant oats
5g creatine
5g l-glutamine

post work out- (12pm)
1 litre of water
(i was going to have 25g of whey and 100g of instant oats but i just couldnt drink it for some reason, im one of these folk who cant eat straight after training)

lunch (3pm) (before work)
2 salmon fillets with a salad
1 pint of water


snack (7:30pm)
Tuna salad or 2 Slices of wholemeal bread with tuna

dont worry about it. as you siadd, the weight and intensityy soon increases and fast. i staryed with jist the bar (8kg). the whole point is to start light and learn the exercise

Just wondering about the supps i take, on my days off from the gym do i take them the same as a 'gym' day?

multi vit and omega 3 I take with breakfast and pre bed. on non workout days I would take creatine with breakfast. with the protein and oats, I would check that they fit with your overall macros. if so then you can have at the sametime as workout days
