Hey I did the Strong Lifts program a few years back.

Do the program long enough and you will eventually F yourself up. Also your eventually going to injure yourself going that heavy when your body is already hurting from squatting 2 other times during the week hard. I also didn't like that I got a huge ass and legs and had a pretty much average looking upper body. I did get a lot stronger on this program but i was insanely sore and could barely walk 90% of the week. It's not sustainable or smart to train that hard all the time unless your 18-19 or are using testerone or steroids. Your attempting to hit a new 5x5 max on squats 3x times a week with a day between to recover. With that being said the program is great if your a raw beginner however if you have some base strength or do anything else physical (run, work on your feet, any sport or martial art etc) this program will cause you to over train. He adopted the program from a weightlifter I believe his last name was Star who used it in the 1970s if you go to the website you can read about its origins. FYI he's some dude from Belgium with little to no prior exercise exp or credentials in fitness. I think the guy who popularized this program logic was that it is the most important exercise thus you should do it the most frequently.
