Really? People have told me you can make good size gains on it.

Doing this before I go on a split... Or should I go on a split now?

This is from my experience only, but I improved strength dramatically while on ss - doubling quite a few of my starting weights besides bench.

I somewhat dreamer bulked and put on about 25lb of weight. I just cut and am looking like this now:



I'm still skinny as phuck, but atleast I have a base feelsbadman.jpg

[BBqChicken1]

Because thats how many times you should hit each muscle group.


brb squatting 4 times a fkin month


brb complaining why u no gain

brb doing 324834932849238984 sets for bizeps


brb thinking you need 7 days to recover

[MicsHero]

OP, you are in serious need of a cup of harden the **** up. pussy.

[GGekko]

Lol only a ******* who can't bench two plates would say this. ****ing idiot.

[jk3587]

is this srs or trolling?

[Mr.NoPrint]

agreed. Not that the program is bad just that most beginners jump into this after watching a few vids and thinking they have legit form. Theres a massive chance youll do yourself damage, you just dont have the coordination and propioception to do these movements without and assistance (supervision) from day 1. And theyll slap weight on until they break down too. Most of the time undertaking SS is ill advised.

Nothing wrong with the program how if the person doing it is 100% capable of performing the movements with normal levels of risk.

As good as lifting balls to the wall on a real program may feel, 16yo kids or 25yo neckbeards dont realise the kind of irreparable they can do,

[RandomMisc]

If you hurt yourself, you were either too aggressive/unrealistic with your numbers or you have **** form.

I've done starting strength twice and modified 5x5s a few times. I prefer to be deadlifting twice a week and lacking a little on squats, but it's whatever.

[Mirinmebrahs]

You need to get your core strengthened you dumb ******* and thats what SS will do

[Ronnie87]

When I first started lifting as completely unfit and skinny fat, starting strength used to destroy me. Dat dere 60kg Squat making me unable to walk.

[ChosenBrah]

Imo a better beginner program would be a 3day split

bench on chest/tris + accessory exercises
deadlift on back/bis + accessory exercises
squat/overhead press on legs/shoulders + accessory exercises

[Need2Expand]

If your back is getting f**ked up then you need to sort out your form. Did you even read starting strength or are you just following the routine?

Lol at squats and deads on starting strength causing a hernia. More likely to get one from bicep curls when you're swinging them up because they are too heavy for you.

I'm unable to lift maximal weight multiple times a week

plus most body parts get hit twice a week anyway i.e legs on deadlifts

but then again I actually lift hard and heavy so...

[jaykf014]

Lol only a ******* who can't bench two plates would say this. ****ing idiot.

When I first started lifting weights I could barely bench two plates. I started off with a variation of starting strength and had no problems. OP here is a whining girl. OP, you really got to man up or you're in for a rough life.

Squatting 3 times a week and progressing each time>squatting once a week with 1239482984 isos


Who do you think will have bigger legs? A guy who squats 500lbs or the guy who squats 200lbs?

[PenisGargler]

Stop being a pussy OP, I've been on them since Halloween and had a 3weeks off over christmas cause the gym was closed and i've made strength gains i could only dream of.

the more you post the more it's obvious you have no clue wtf you're saying

kirk only squatted once a week and I believe ed coan went from twice a week to once a week aswell



have no idea why you assume squatting once a week means you're weak as fu*k

[Lyrikal]

brb not reading half the complaining in this thread
brb starting squat 80kg
brb 145lb
brb gained 14lb in the first month
brb 20lb to go in the next two months.

Yes, because OP is an advanced powerlifter who will surely be hitting his 1000lb squat soon. While your point is true (squatting once a week doesn't mean you're weak), its completely out of context in this thread and in relation to that guys comment

How is it out of context? If you're squatting multiple times a week your other lifts are going to suffer including your bench press.
