All you need. Just a note, the lowest I've seen all of these stuff go in total on Canadian sites is maybe $600 if you buy a separate squat rack & bench. | ||

Starting Strength, which is the go-to program for beginners has you do squat, deadlift, press, bench, and power cleans (chin-ups optional) so you need a squat rack to do the program. | ||

Just asking - Is the weight lost from being sick normally from muscle or fat? Or is it another source (water content etc.). I had stomach flu, if that matters. | ||

I would be using them for normal daily activities (like going shopping to town) aswell for running, rope-jumping. So would anyone really recommend them? or are they more troubles than benefits? edit: plus maybe a weight body-vest... starting at like 0,5-1kg wrist, 1-2kg ankles, 5-10kg body vest. | ||

It messes with your movement mechanics and can lean to injury. | ||

Going to start SS in the following weeks after im back from Iceland. Few questions if you don't mind: Im currently 5.8" and weight is around 9 stone (130 pounds ish), I was a very active person, did tonnes of sport but never managed to put any weight on at all. I eat as much as many of my 16 stone friends (not just crap food) and i still find it VERY hard to put weight on. Any ideas on this? Also i used to play Tennis a hell of a lot, and therefore have one arm stronger than the other, will this effect lifting at all? If so, anything i can do about it? This also bring across another problem, I've had many problems with my shoulder from Tennis before (Tears/Damages), so is it safe to just get right into weight lifting? This was a main reason i stopped playing in the first place, due to semi-constant injury. Sorry for the beginner questions, I did check loads of the topics before asking. Many thanks Rixxe. | ||

Putting on weight...... eat every meal 'til you feel sick. Or GOMAD -- gallon of (whole) milk a day Yes, it can affect lifting. If you have gross differences may want to start with DBs... only use weight that your weaker arm can do Proper weight training should improve your arm function, not make it worse. | ||
