Basically i have been on something very similar to Rippetoes (only doing bent over rows instead of cleans) for 5 months and one week now.
Starting lifts and current lifts as follows:
Squat:
50kg 3x5
125kg 3x5
Bench press:
60kg 3x5
80kg 2x5, 1x5 assist on last 2 reps
Deadlift:
70kg 1x5
122.5kg 1x5
BB military press:
30kg 3x5
55kg 3x5
Bent over row:
50kg 3x5
82.5kg 3x5
This doesnt look too bad on paper, the problem is im stalling quite badly. On the first week of month 4 i had that week off. I normally have a week off every 3 months so thats what i did. The problem with that was after that week my lifts went down. It took the whole month to get my bench press to what it was before the week off. Same with military press and also bent over rows.
The gym was closed on the final week of month 4 which messed things up more.
This weeks workout so far is as follows:
squat: 125kg
military press: 57.5kg 1x5, 1x1 failure. 55kg 1x5 very bad form ended up pulling a muscle so it hurts to turn my head.
Rows: 62.5kg
If you divide the amount of weight i have increased on bench press by the amount of weeks ive been lifting, it comes to 1kg a week increase. This isnt that good considering you are supposed to add weight with every workout. I find myself lifting the same weight for bench press and military press for the past 6-8 weeks. Partially due to having 2 weeks off.
Where shall i go from here?
Thanks

If you're stalling and legittimately tired, deload and come back hard the following week. Your body can only take so much before it needs to chill out at some point. You could also have a mental block up, and a deload/off week can help you get past that.
550/385/655, 285 overhead press, 330 push jerk, 250 weighted dip, 190 weighted pull-up, 413.8 max weighted pull-up, 450 front squat, 365 RFESS, 305 x 2 log press, 400 (per arm) farmer's carry, 370 atlas stone, 31 pull-ups at 247.

Beginners: progress on every workout
intermediate: progress on weekly base
advanced: progress on monthly base
pro: progress on yearly base
You cannot keep adding weight every workout, it gets counterproductive to do so.★☆★★☆ tmiscplace2 crew ★☆★★☆

Take it you didnt read the OP. Had 2 weeks off, if anything its made things worse.
Well considering SS is starting strength, for beginners, should i quit? Weekly progress isnt on the program, its progress per workout or you fail at SS basically...Negs for life:
