Stronglifts 5x5 workout

Has anyone here done this program or is currently doing it?
I started last week, started where he recommended, basically start with just the bar on all workouts and add 5 lbs each session. So far so good. I haven't done much with squats before, noticed the outside of my right knee has a little pop, feels like the tendon popping. No pain though.
Since I just started I'm still extremely light on my weights and don't feel like i'm getting a lot from the workouts yet, but I'm sure it will get tougher pretty quick.

It adds up quickly, I have hit a wall right now but I have put on 20lbs over the course of 3 months doing it

It gets tougher. Stick with it and work on your form. The gains will come quickly.

Yeah, it's a good program for steadily increasing strength.

I used it a couple of years ago, and a variation last year. Unless you are a complete novice then you don't need to start with the bar.
Starting Strength is a similar plan and he recommends initially finding your starting weight incrementally.

I've been doing this program for almost 3 months. I love it. It definitely challenges you and if your honest with the program you will make great gains.
If you fail on an excersise 3 times it will tell you to deload some weight. I would recommend using the app if you don't have it already. The weights do get hard but you'll notice your able to do them. Keep it up!
