If anyone wants to see what crashing at 120mph looks like whilst wearing a pair of nikes and some jeans. https://youtu.be/MtN46wLGGMk?si=kjw2czSeRa72Vq6V&t=657
Brutal skin rash!

Oh something I can answer, I learned last year in a manual. I passed with 1 minor for not overtaking a slow lorry on a short dual carriageway (definitely not bitter on that) ... Anyway, the biggest obstacle people have is confidence on the road. As I had been riding my bike and I'm 30 roundabouts and tricky junctions did not bother me and hitting speed limits was a breeze.
The first two lessons I just stalled the car a bunch but every lesson I forgot about the gears more and more. Honestly the gears are the least difficult part, it's being confident and you have that advantage.
I currently drive an auto and we also have an old golf which I haven't been arsed to sell and it's manual, I never have to think about the gears at all when I drive it to the recycling centre once a month.
Manual licence for me as I love older cars and autos on holiday are still expensive...
Edit. Pass your theory and book a test slot, you can then use an app to auto book a sooner slot, I was able to get a test within a month that way.

StrongLifts is really just providing me with a structure to keep to.
I think you'd be better off using an app like https://fitbod.me/

I'm also doing Stronglifts. I'd suggest adding assistance work to keep things interesting or switch to the madcow variation.
The barbell rows are important. I just hold the bar at the thigh and return to thigh rather than start/return to the floor. I will need to change this when the weight increases.
BW for me is 100KG, currently at 65kg on squat... long way to go.

As @MrBaklava mentions it surprisingly ends well... my favourite part is when the EMT asks what speed she was going.
