Thoughts on the Starting Strength app? I think the text is too long. Should have been more concise.

How hard is it to add 5lbs to the bar every session. have a nice day if you're this moronic.
5kg for squat and deadlift, 2.5kg for press and bench press. I'm not going to add power clean. There are several phases, don't know when to switch. Plus I'm already stalling on press after two weeks and squat is too fricking heavy. Might do another program. I've done SS like 5 times, fed up with it.
Holy shit they made an app for SS? Literally how?
Anyway, I did SS when I first started lifting and thankful in many ways that I did but also if I had to do it again, it’s not what I would do.
You need to eat more
>Anyway, I did SS when I first started lifting and thankful in many ways that I did but also if I had to do it again, it’s not what I would do.
What would you do instead
Stronglift 5x5 obviously
I would still do full body but would do a lot more exercises to hit every body part. Jordan peters has a great series on programming on YouTube if you want to look it up.
If I had to write something up it may look like this…
A
Squat 2x4-6
Hamstring curl 2x10-12
Incline Bench 2x6-8
Dips 2x6-10
Barbell Row 2x8-10
Lat pull down 2x8-10
Lateral Raise 2x10-12
Tricep push down 2x10-12
DB Bicep curl 2x8-10
Calves standing 2x10-12
B
Bench 2x5-8
OHP 2x6-8
Deadlift 2x4-6
Leg press 2x10-12
Pull ups 2x amrap
DB row 2x8-10
Reverse pec deck 2x10-12
Skull crusher 2x8-10
BB curl 2x8-10
Calves seated 2x10-12
I would alternate this workout every other day so M W F Su, then Tu Thur Sa, and I would add weight when I could hit the top end of the rep range. This exposes the novice trainer to a wider range of exercises which is important and hits all the body parts while still focusing on progressive overload.
>You need to eat more
No. I eat enough.
lol ok man. If you don’t want to progress that’s up to you. The proof is in the pudding that you don’t eat enough. Switching to another program isn’t going to fix your shitty habits outside of the gym
I gained 5kg in 1.5 months moron
Sure you did bud. But you could only progress your press for 2 weeks. You’re not totally full of shit and lying on IST, why would you do that? Anyway stay fricking weak you little b***h.
ask me how I know you're short
What are your lifts?
A
>3x5 Bench
>3-5xF Chin (start with what you can do, once you're 30+ over 3-5 sets add weight
>3x5 Squat
>2x8 dips (weighted when you can)
>2x8 row
>2x Barbell Curl + Lat Raise + Back Flyes (superset)
>3x10 Weighted Back Ext
B
>5x5 ramped set deadlift
>3x8 pendlay rows
>3x8 press
>2x Tricep pushdowns + Lat Raises
C
>3x5 Bench
>3-5xF Chin (start with what you can do, once you're 30+ over 3-5 sets add weight
>3x5 Squat
>2x8 DB Shoulder Press
>2x8 rows
>2x barbell curl + tricep pushdowns
>3x10 Weighted Back Ext
Core every workout obv, switch to ramped set progression in core 3x5 lifts when you fail.
bro u get the program for free wtf just google it hahaha why do u need an app boomer mf
The phases are moronic imo and you shouldn't do power clean unless u have a coach. I'm recently switched back to SS to get back into the gym and am doing
Squat
Bench/Press
Deadlift 1x5
Curls/Chins
Lat Raise/DB bench
This is the program. Don't need an app just a spreadsheet.
Why do people keep falling for the sharting scam from rippetoe
I did it because my squats are very weak and that's what it targets. That said starting it at 230 pounds is hard. Too quick if you weight gain. So you only do it a month bulk before you got to cut.
idaf if you have no lifting experience SS is the best way to start someone off with compound lifts. Rippatoe was right and you idiots are all wrong if you disagree that there's a better starting program for barbell lifts.
>best way to start someone off with compound lifts.
Learning how to shart morning instead of squat od not the best way to learn how to squat
add in how he teaches overhead pressing and powerclean, you have three lifts out of 5 that hes fricked up
Can you explain what the hell you are talking about?
olympic style pressing. nuff said
since most people here care about aesthetics, Renaissance Periodization on hypertrophy with 531, what John Hacck staryed with, as a supplemental for another perspective if they care.
Form is taught better through videos that can e beasily found from professional bodybuilders or world class strongmen, weightlifters, or powerlifters.
If you were to hand someone an actual book or the audible version somehow of a novice, linear progression program with a basic rundown of lifts and progression. What would it be?
I'm 14 and want to know how to lift but I'm clueless. You walk up to me and without trying to molest me, what do you give me?
