Hello everyone,
Here are my current stats :
- Height : 5’9
- Weight : 152 lbs
I am back on the saddle for lifting. I was seriously ill 1 year ago (liver problem) and will start slowly as my main lifts suck.
I chose StrongLifts 5x5 for the first 12 weeks. I start with empty bar.
My goals :
- Steady improve of main lifts (I aim for no deload or stuck in the first 12 weeks; which may be hard for OHP knowing my shoulders)
- gain 7 lbs of weight
That’s all I aim for this first round of SL5x5.
I checked with my nutritionnist.
Maintenance caloric intake : 2660 Kcal (mesured by the doctor)
BodyFat% : 15
Skeleton is quite heavy
Slightly overhydrated
Do to the liver problem, not advised to eat big meals. Creatine is forbidden at the moment.

What do you think ?
I am worried : is it too much ? The first weeks will be very low intensity…
All the snack ideas are welcome… especially the afternoon snack… considering I am at work and cannot cook at work and don’t want to spend 2 hours every night cooking…
THank you !
