6		StrongLifts 5x5 for Beginners
7		* This sheet is for people who never lifted weights before or haven't lifted for a long time
8		* I've prefilled the Starting – you only need to go to the gym, lift the weights and repeat. Done.

11		StrongLifts 5x5 for Experienced Lifters
12		* This sheet is for people who are already lifting and who want to start StrongLifts 5x5
13		* Enter your current max weight and the sheet will tell you how heavy you should start StrongLifts 5x5
14		* Your current max must be weighs you've actually lifted and lifted recently. Don't enter estimates or maxes from a year ago.
15		* If the starting weights seem too light, look where you'll be in 12 weeks – STRONGER if you take your time and let the weight build up.
16		* The temptation is to start heavier. But you risk getting sore legs, missing reps, having to skip workouts, and plateauing in the first weeks.
17		* So don't rush things like the hare by trying to hit Prs in month one already. Be the turtle: slow but steady towards new personal records.

20		Progress Charts
21		* Enter the total weight you lifted the first day you started, then enter your strength stats every Friday. Just enter the maximal weight you lifted that week.
22		* Don't leave empty rows in between or the graphs won't work
