the reason to start out with an empty bar for squats, ohp, bp, is that it helps to build form. you can practice with form more easily with an empty bar than with a weighted one(for most of the people). the bar may look empty, but it's 20kg for most of the bar out there.
just follow the plan if you've never did any lifting before.
be patient, some of us have been through it, lifting empty bar/tiny weights.
believe me, the tiny weights will grow(provided you are meticulous with your form).

and yeah, 2.5kg increment for every workout(1.25kg each side).

click on this link, read every single word in the page. i know it's not stronglifts, but it's very similar.

it is an empty bar

you may be adding in curls and crunches too early. but i don't know, it's your body, only you know how the weights feel.

after the main exercises, how do you feel?
after the curls and crunches, how do you feel?

well my arms feel fine. my back slightly sore and my tights are killing me

go read the link i gave you, cardio or not, adding weights, form etc etc, answers can be found there.

@Snowguy2068:

you're like a kindergarden student.

nuff said.

i dont mean to be rude but sometimes people are just asking for it. did you REALLY read starting strength?

no i read stronglift.
don't insult me as you dont know me.

Dude, I don't get what's so difficult to grasp. The info on the site itself is pretty straightforward. And then alien9 gave a pretty well summed up version of it in the previous page.

Start with an empty bar. Do the workout. Add weight as instructed. If you fail, use the same weight till you get the required reps and sets to proceed.

I wish I do know you, so I might get to know what's behind the reasoning of your need to be spoonfed despite the website being so informative.

You would know when we are insulting you, so stop being such a cry baby and stop asking to be spoonfed and get all defensive about it

If you said that you are lifting an empty bar? How can you do a 15kg barbell row? The bar weight is 45lbs/20kg?

And if you do said that you lift and empty bar today, your barbell row should be 29.5kg/65lbs.

And, if you want to do another exercise, it is better for you to add chin up and dips instead of biceps curl. And you don't have to do crunches. Squat and deadlift will train your core for you.

Lmao, don't think about the Biceps curl you silly curlbro

do DIPS and CHIN UPS instead

and 15kg bb rows, obviously you add weight from the empty bar Lol

anyways Dips and Chin Ups, and then if you want to waste time do some ab works and curls if you want to

Dips + Chin Ups is superior master race reporting in 6'5 height blue eyed from London

You know , Stronglifts IS pretty straightforward in it's programming like SS.

I really don't see why you'd wanna add anything.

If you really want curls , then shouldn't all pros be right up you're alley ?

And this is one of the rare occasions when Adix4 actually makes sense , chins/pulls and dips are superior.

Alternate between chins/pulls every workout and you're set.

It's not complicated like HVT or 5/3/1.

the gym said the bar was 15 kilos

The 7 feet Olympic Barbell?

there is two. the trainer says got one is 15 one is 20
not so sure.

The 7 feet Olympic Barbell weights 20kg/45lbs. The 15kg should be the normal barbell. Btw, you should start Pendlay Row with 65lbs, not with 15kg.

Some people may not be able to row 65lbs on their first try. Which is why I maintain my stance on starting out with an empty bar.
