Definitely agree that working out should be a habit, must like most other productive (but initially unattractive) activities in our lives. Congrats on your awesome progress!

You are much like myself in that we both seem to have strong lower bodies and relatively weaker upper bodies :P

>You do not need to be an expert, or know how to lift to do the program.

You don't have to be an expert, but it's crucial to have regular form checks on the lifts. Nothing is more depressing than being sidelined for several weeks because of bad squat form leading to an injury!

I just mean to say that I used to think you couldn't do these sorts of lifts without some sort of trainer that could teach me how to do them, and that since I didn't know one, I couldn't.

Rather, these days, you can read starting strength, watch videos online, film your own lifts and get people to help you pretty easily.
