Yes
if i reach a point where i can't increase weight any longer, should i increase the workout frequency?
currently 3/week.
What are your current lifts? Shouldn’t you be deloading and reattempting? I think if you increase frequency you’re just going to end up at snap city when your body cant recover
Bulk
Jk if you are plateauing with decent sleep and diet it probably means you hit the end of your linear progression and should move on a more advanced plan like 5/3/1 or gzclp
Decrease the frequency, stupid. Didn't you even read the book?
It’s a pretty shit program even for beginners. There’s way better programs out there for new people (PPL for beginners, greyskull LP, 5x5 stronglifts, etc.)
That being said it’s better than not working out at all, which is where most people doing SS recently came from
mogged by stronglifts 5x5
>5x5
Yeah it sure is fun squatting 5x5 and being too tired to work out your other muscles. 3x5 is the superior choice. Easier to get higher lifts.
try not being a weak homosexual with no energy
You’re a dumb homosexual if you dont think 5x5 squats wont tire you out to lift adequately on your other lifts
>oh no I squatted 25 times now its literally impossible for me to lift my arms up or do bench presses
have you tried eating or drinking water
>25 times at extremely high weights
Come back when you make it past 100lbs
no questions allowed
drink the fricking gallon NOW
Anything works for a beginner to get them stronger
>Does it actually make you strong?
No. The average weights lifted after SS per their graph that floats around is lower than 1/2/3/4 iirc
Absolutely. Most people seething about Starting Strength are fatties who bulked too much and/or continued too long when the point of the program is to give you a good foundation.
>Now let me tell you about my favorite rep scheme
>*cuckles*
>1x5
My thoughts on ss are I love Mark, he's handsome and I'd do anything to hug him every morning
Do you listen to his podcasts? His Q&As are peak comfy
least homosexual ss fan
I did it for a month to get my SS, than switched to PPL because I lift for aesthetics. Sorry Mark.
