I'll be honest, my 48 year old self feels a little silly using words like gainz. LOL. Mixtapes, tho... After a dabble with StrongCurves after home gym acquisition, I've decided to head a little more simple and mainstream with SL 5x5. I may modify a bit for recovery if any problems arise, i.e. squats to 3x5 or eliminating the hip thrusts or increasing smaller amounts (I have really cute little 1 1/4# plates that I want to use ). Step count is mostly to get me moving a bit more outside of the weights. I sit on my butt all day and it's no good. Food/macros are Eat to Perform dictated. I put in for a coach review today, so might get a bump in food. Trying still to get more protein outside of protein drinks, but man is it hard to balance more protein without getting crazy on fat or sodium. Plus, I'm kind of digging on my midday coffee/Fairlife protein milk/protein powder treat. Heavy Metal Stronglifts 5x5 starting today, week 0.
