Default Re: My first \"Starting Strength\" workout
When I started this program I was age 40, and did it for 12 weeks. Don't start so high on your weights. Give yourself some time to learn the movements and get the form down, and get your strength up. Rippetoe usually starts people around 85 lbs on squats. Also, did you do the warm-ups? They really help.
