#2 is the original workout

After a few months one can move on from SS but why?

The OP and SS are pretty much made for eachother, if he eats correctly he can run SS for at least 6 months and make incredible strength gains.

You should not follow the P90x diet. that is made for adults (at least those over 18) that are trying to lose wieght. you are still growing and have no reason whatsoever to limit your food intake....

None of those things are important. The important things are a proper program for your goals/level and a proper diet. Nice supplements and lots of time in the gym add to proper training and diet, but...

Then just dont eat for a couple weeks. If he had any fat on him he'd probably not look much bigger than the average person.

But like you said, you are training for aesthetics so... oh yeah still...

you should do a novice program, this program had a lot lot of volume and you dont need that.

also, you should not have an underwear model or whatever he is as your role model/ goal body, he's...

You should squat as low as you can without rounding your back. I'm not 100% sure but im pretty sure the Ripp doesn't say "don't do ATG squats if you physically can" in his book.

Also, the book...

you made it sound a bit confusing with the word "max" you can't/shouldn't be repping your max.. but,

it is a 5x5, ramping up to your top set. so if your top set was 140 today, you can do,
45x5,...

eventually it will end but what you said is so simple (too bad so many people don't understand it) and exactly why SS is a good program

this thread would fit better in a misc. section

doesn't really ask, answer, or talk about anything important.

Haha exactly, I wouldnt either.

I love the guys that take up two of the squat racks, one for cheat curls and the other for incline flies when i'm waiting to squat...

I always feel it is rude for people to use up more than one piece of equipment at a time when the gym is busy (after all, you can only do one thing at a time). when it isn't busy, do what you want.

It probably felt so wonderful because it was so much easier, just my two cents.

you can still get hip drive going ATG it's just harder. Think about it when you are doing your warmup sets and try...

Haha if that is too much trouble you could guess your lifts..

Probably too much volume and probably too many isolation exercises. What are the stats for your lifts?

You will have to eat a lot. When I rain track/XC I couldn't put on any real weight even though I ate a ton.

Another thing to consider is the distances you are running. It looks like you are a XC...

two weeks isn't long enough to judge results.

without your goals and stats no one can help much.

EDIT: Goals besides being jacked and tan haha :)

50%+40%+20%=110%
^not that one.

40 40 20 is fine. And like was said you should bulk before you do P90X. you can always come back and do P90X another time.

Do at least two warm-up sets when you start.

As you read, the first workout you just keep increasing wieght until the bar speed slows then finish off those as your work sets, so you don't have to...

That chart does not say when you will get stuck, it shows how "good" your lifts are compared to others of the same weight. I'd give it a couple more tries, then deload if you can't break through it.
