LOL we got another one. Go to your nearest gay bar OP, rippetoe is awaiting you eagerly.
Blaha has an improved version of SS called like Icecream 5x5 Novice or something. It adds curls erryday and additional trap work so your bench won't suck. Basic ass SS is going to send all your gains straight to your legs.
* Additional tri work
It does also add shrugs though
SS,SL etc. are all routines skinny weak dyels should do for like 2 or 3 months to build form and a strength base. youre not going to gain much muscle witha hypertrophy or strength program in 2-3 months so might aswell build a nice strength base for when you go into a hypertrophy routine
This, it's literally just the tutorial. Add volume and accessories as soon as you're comfortable doing so.
You dare waste time curling in my squat racks?
What else are they for?
>(thanks to curls)
I think I know what your problem is. You. Were. Not. Doing. The. Program.
Squats and milk program is the good follow up to SS. Higher volume but similar lifts
When should I switch from SS
Don't tell me some bull shit like "when you feel you're ready uwu" give me a real answer with numbers
When you already deloaded a lift once but get stuck again
There's no hard and fast rule, it's when straight linear progression outright runs out despite eating a decent amount. This varies by person, from (for males). Some folks might feel that they can't even pass 160lbs on the squat even with their milk, and there are some folks who really do 5lbs their way to 300lbs.
Set an arbitrary minimum, either in weight or time. As a general rule, after 3 month is usually a minimum time to stop, though you're welcome to continue if you're confident you can still regularly put 5lbs on the bar for at least half of your lifts. If you wanna go by weight, 225lbs squat is usually a good minimum for when you can consider switching.
what are your lifts?
and how long have you been doing ss?
Post B/S/D also how much you weigh and how long have you been doing this, how.many calories you eat
Bench 60 kg
Squat 97,5 kg
Deadlift 115 kg
Bodyweight 90 kg
You didn't mention how long you've been doing this
If you actually lifted you should have noticeable gains.
And 5x5 heavy is not low volume when you start putting some weight on the bar
I’d say to stick with the program until you stop with linear progression or that plus one deload and stop again
On the other hand if you just care about looks jump right into a bro split/ppl or whatever more focused on volume/aesthetics, SS/SL are only good if you care about getting your number up, other than that they are a meme and are not for everyone
if you hadn't done starting strength he would have mogged you extra hard
around a year, bit i had a break because of gym closing down
