Active life post 8.....(actually my first)
This past weekend i started a weight lifting program called 5 by 5 with a friend at Canada Games Pool. Since then i've been going every other day ( 3 sessions as of late ) and i can honestly say it feels great, since the program consists of adding 5lb the next time you work out. I started with just the bar to practice form, the hardest i've had with form is the squats but i'm starting to get the hang of it. The exercise i've felt most accomplished in is deadlift which i've lifted the most weight in, yesterday i was able to deadlift with 161lbs, which practically made my day. Since i've started i've felt musce soreness from muscles i didn't even no i had, but over one day i feel its a good pain and it's just my muscles getting stronger.

I love your "actually my first." I'm like you, I like it when I have bigger numbers for the weights. But, make sure to remind yourself (I also have to) that certain weights/exercises will be lighter when you are using fewer/smaller muscle groups. Deadlifts use pretty well all major muscle groups to the work is spread out allowing higher weights.
