    MY PROGRESS: Starting Strength for 2 months

    just wanted to make sure i'm on the right track... yes, my legs are very weak i suppose, but thanks to SS, they're finally looking like they're at least starting to catch up to where they're supposed to be, maybe acouple more months and they'll be proportional to the rest of my body. and on the pictures, i suppose i don't look much stronger in the new pic because of all the fat from the gallon of milk i've been drinking every day, but i posted a picture anyway. anywayzzz... here's my old and new numbers:

    (all of these are 3x5, except for deadlift, which is 1x5, and power cleans, which are 5x3)

    2 MONTHS AGO
    weight: 165
    squat: 175
    bench: 195
    deadlift: 199
    press: 90
    power cleans: 133

    NOW
    weight: 190 (+25)
    squat: 220 (+45)
    bench: 225 (+30)
    deadlift: 241 (+42)
    press: 115 (+25)
    power cleans: 166 (+33)

    1st pic is me 2 months ago, at 165, 2nd pic is from last night, at 190. once again, i'm really fat from all the milk in the 2nd pic, so even though i am way bigger now than i was 2 months ago, the 2 pics look pretty much the same. (yes, i started trimming my arms, lol)

    lol, i wouldnt say no success, especially since the margin between my bench and squat is much lower now. like i said in the first post, i think my legs are going to be caught up to where they're supposed to be in the next couple months or so. i expect to have this program milked by September thanks tho!

    You didn't do the program right. Read the book, try it again.

    ^This.

    You should pick up 45 pounds on your squat in 2 weeks, not 2 months. You're doing it wrong.

    For example - I started SS one month ago. My squat started 70 pounds lighter than yours at 105, and it is now 5 pounds heavier than yours.

    alright, thanks guys. I'm getting paid Friday so I'm gonna go get the book immediately after I get my check. Only question is, does anybody think I should just take a deload weak while i'm reading the book, then just start over from scratch? Or should i just keep going?
