I need to get back in the gym. Whole30 has been great so far but I need a consistent activity component. I can get a membership to the gym down the street for $25 a month. It's no crossfit but its open 24 hrs.

That's strong work Taylor. Love those early massive drops like that. Certainly a huge motivator.
Are you using the app?
The $2 for the warmup sets is worth it.
Figured id post an update in here. I'm 2 weeks back into training and feeling better already. I'm doing a boxing workout (bag work, circuit training, and pad work) twice a week and Strong Lifts 5x5 to supplement. Still getting used to the 5x5 routine and figuring out weights/warm up but really like the simplicity of it. Once I start moving the weights up I'll post some progress.
Feels great to be back to being active though!
The app is the best part of Stronglifts. It makes workout tracking pretty darn idiot proof. Outside of that, since Hawkstar turned me on to Starting Strength, I find more validity in a 3x5 for most novices.
I think 5x5 is a bit extreme when you start pushing weights that border your absolute best three days a week. It gets to the point that you lose energy for the other lifts.
ding ding ding.
That is why 3x5 is better.
Without a doubt. For you and me that's great. For a beginner, 3x5 is what I would recommend.Also why I like 2x5, 1x5+.

Don't jump off of 5 reps. If anything, 3 sets of 5 reps. I'm not sure your age, but you could still use the extra volumeI am really liking the app so far, it has the option of 3x3 as well. I've been doing ok so far, but might switch over to 3x3 once the weights really start to increase. My biggest gripe so far is the bar clamps, I'm probably going to invest in some decent ones to make changing plates easier (especially while warming up).
Today was squat 140lb 5x5, bench 100lb 5x5, and barbell row 100lb 5x5.
Feeling good!
That must have burnt some calories. Good work.2nd workout complete and man am I going to be sore tomorrow!

It's really cool. You wear a heart rate monitor and they broadcast everyone's stats on big tvs all over the gym. The goal is to be in different heart rate zones at different parts of the workout in order to maximize the workouts. Said I burned 978 calories during the workout. They also send a PDF to your email afterwards. Max heart rate of 191 with average 168 with 34 minutes in the orangeThat must have burnt some calories. Good work.

We are starting to have those gyms pop up around here and wondered what the workouts look like. Pretty solid metabolic workout looks like, you would definitely burn some calories.It's really cool.
