You need to loosen up your muscles after working out. If you don't they will become tight and can cause discomfort, immobility, and injury. You after care is just as important as the workout itself.
Look up different stretches for your legs, back, hips, and glutes. Youtube should help.
Rolling is another method to loosen your muscles and get really hard to reach knots. Look for products like these:
https://www.amazon.com/LuxFit-Extra-Roller-6-Inch-36-Inch/dp/B00KAEJ3V8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496785701&sr=8-2&keywords=hard+foam+roller
https://www.amazon.com/The-Stick-Original-Massage/dp/B000YDO1NA/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1496785877&sr=1-3&keywords=the+stick
https://www.amazon.com/G3Elite-Tissue-Massage-Muscle-Roller/dp/B01M19LUWJ/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1496796193&sr=1-4&keywords=textured+massage+stick
A tennis ball and/ or a lacrosse ball are also good things you can use to roll your glutes and feet.
Getting a semi-regular deep tissue massage is also a good idea.
Depends on who you are, and how much you want to spend, and what you're going to be doing with them.
Personally, I like something a little nicer for that price.
Here are a couple of options, both include the bar:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LT8KDG/
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MX5ZS2/
In the end, weight is weight so long as it's accurate. Some weights can be off a little bit, or have the center hole milling off. When you get them put them all on a scale to make sure they're accurate. Probably good to start off with about 300lbs, a lot of sets start here. If you plan ahead now you can get a set you can add to later so you don't have a mixed bag of different manufacturers weights.
Not a doctor, but had tennis elbow. I couldn't lift a frying pan off the stove without pain in my left arm. I wore one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WNS4XLO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EHD4xb8XRTQ44 during my workouts for about 3 months. The first week I wore it all day at home and took 400mg of ibuprofen to help with inflammation. Icing it down after a workout will help too. I also used a lacrosse ball to massage the forearm muscles. Some biofeeeze works good too.
I no longer have any pain or have to wear the compression sleeve. Hope it heals soon.
Hey, thanks! I'm using these hooks and they've been a godsend. It's not 100% -- even with them, I can feel the bar start to slip out of my hand a bit if I'm not careful. But I'm at 195lb deadlift and 110 row and so far I can still do it -- no way I could have without them. Thanks so much!
Never heard of Old Bay, thanks I'll check it out. If you haven't heard of it, try Tajin seasoning on your fruits/vegs to make them amazing.
Not sure your budget, but I picked up these fractional plates and love them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XNCRLA4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469423668&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=fractional+plates&dpPl=1&dpID=51F7B7%2BxqhL&ref=plSrch
$36.88 for 4 sets (1/4s, 1/2s, 3/4s, and 1lbs)
I would recommend
Bench
http://www.treadmillfactory.ca/fit-505-fid-bench
Barbell for beginners
https://www.amazon.ca/Barbell-1000-Pound-Solid-7-Feet/dp/B001K4OPY2
The knurling on this is pretty great. Been using this for more than a year.
Also lock jaws instead of clamps.
Thanks!
These are the ones I'm using:
https://www.amazon.com/RDX-Lifting-Bandage-Powerlifting-Sleeves/dp/B00FA2TBRG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500076550&sr=8-1&keywords=rdx+knee+wraps
I found that sleeves aren't as tight as I want them. So I wrap my knees and quads while I do squats. :)
If you're looking for shoes while on a budget, these two are pretty good:
Chuck Taylors
Reebok Lifters
This one from Dark Iron Fitness has been great
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015HHY17I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lFmwCbEAT7S7R
I have the creamy vanilla and it's pretty good. If you're looking for a fruity flavor, mango peach is the way to go.
https://www.amazon.com/Isopure-Protein-Powder-Mango-Pounds/dp/B000E95HPA
Alpine Punch and Apple Melon don't have too shiny of reviews.
One thing I saw is how GreySkull LP does the last set AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) when you deload. Makes it a game when the weight is easier. Not strict StrongLifts but might give you something to do when you have to deload that is challenging.
For OHP the smaller weight plates are big. Would recommend buying a set if your gym doesn't have them.
2.5lb: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00306V44C
1.25 lb: https://www.amazon.com/44SPORT-Olympic-Fractional-Plates-Weights/dp/B01CO7J5XY
Or use your food scale to weigh out something that is the right weight and can be put on each end of the bar.
I bought a set of these for OHP:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYPADJS/?th=1&psc=1
Now progress at 2.5lbs instead of 5lb. Hoping it keeps me going!
Don't under estimate your gains. I've been doing 5x5 for a few months now and I've definitely seen my thigh size increase. So much so others are noticing. Anyhow, many runners deal with chafing and there's specific Anti-Chafe Balm you can get. I've never tried it, but back in my Track & Field days we wore compression shorts and this resolved the issue as well.
I was never "taught" how or anything but after a workout I would do some normal stretches and just put the roller under my heels (well, lower calf I guess?) and lift myself off the ground and roll my entire legs, body, back, shoulders on it. The part where butt meets back felt the best! I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XM2MRGI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had similar symptoms three years ago, was diagnosed with chondromalacia patella due to weak hip adductors exacerbated by rapid weight gain. I started to notice it at work while going up stairs, exactly as you described. Losing the weight, wearing a knee brace, and physical therapy helped a lot. I still get it from time to time when squatting, I usually just cut 10 to 20 % off the weight and keep going while making sure my form is good. Go see an orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine doctor, it's a lot easier to not get hurt than it is to recover.
