So i too decided to start the Rippetoe Starting Strength program... been looking at this program for awhile but after reading hunt0r's and other success it really put me on to it. So I started Monday but havent really had the time to post a journal yet so here we go!
Just like hunt0r I am starting low with weights so I can get the correct form because Ive never been huge on squatting and Ive NEVER deadlifted before. Unfortunately one of my main goals at the moment is to lose weight... which doesnt seem like will go hand in hand with this program but we will see how it goes!

Ht - 6'
