    I knew someone would bite. No worries though, it's honest criticism, and I expected it.

    Beginning Again

    Restart

    I was quickly losing site of why I was doing this, so I'm fixing that now. A trick I've heard many times in my life about people who succeed is that they spell out their goals, make and...

    That is, of course, assuming that you have any say in the matter when the bar comes down. There's a difference between a semi-controlled descent and 'unexpected bad failure'. It's not the normal...

    I don't know man. Risk/Reward assessment there. Not sure the reward of benching is worth the risk of an unexpected bad failure. I'm kinda with him on this. I'd rather wiggle into some weird...

    I've enjoyed it so far. My own bastardized version using the SS template anyway. I think it comes down to the Pareto Principle - the 20/80 rule: 20% of what you do nets you 80% of your results. ...

    Yeah. Had a nice strength curve the first week for squats. CNS gains really; my brain connecting with my hips again and telling me "move your arse." Today's workout feels like my squats are at the...

    If you know you have good form with the lifts then it won't hurt to start now. If you aren't sure of your form, it won't hurt to wait a week to study the book either.

    1) My squats are below parallel every time, both for warmup and working sets.
    2) Starting weight was determined by when the bar slowed on the first day, as per the program as written in Rippetoe's...

    Neither you, nor he, knows my lifetime PRs on the big lifts. So it's pretty ill-informed of both of you to think you know anything about my lifting experience. Food for thought.

    That's as far into your post as I could be arsed to read. In just those few lines you've made poor, uninformed, assumptions about my history with lifting; and revealed yourself to be a rude prick in...

    Two weeks into SS:

    I've lost 4 lbs of fat
    Dropped an inch off my waist
    Put 75 lbs on my squat


    You're right. SS sucks. I quit.

    Even if doing so results in slower progress? Is your goal to progress, or just to be in the weight room?

    You're asking if you should spend time before you begin the program strengthening the very thing that the program will strengthen.
