when are you "done" with Starting Strength? (reps)

[iMac46]

when can you say if you are "done" with Starting Strength? My priority is not to get really strong with lifts over 300 or something like that. My goal is just to get a solid strength base so as to move on to a P/P/L or Upper/Lower. Advice, guys?

P.S. main goal is aesthetics

When you can no longer progress consistently on the routine

Then get a "Haircut". Srs OP. I would suggest re-evaluating your f*cking goals.

When you have a decent level of strength on the big 3
Bench - 5 x bw
squat - 5 x 1.5bw
DL - 5 x 2bw

You're done with starting strength when you can no longer make continous progress on the program.

When you get to a point where you feel progress is being stalled, first check to see that you are getting enough calories in.

If you are, and progress has stalled. Switch to another program.

You are done with the program when you want to be done.

If you just want to look good then I don't understand why you are doing SS. Do the p/p/l now of you want.

if your lifts are what they are in your signature ... you're not done yet

I believe Rippetoe recommends to continue until you've stalled and deloaded squat 2-3 times, or something along those lines.
