Is there anything wrong with starting an intermediate program

There's nothing wrong with it. You'll just make slower gains on an intermediate program is all. That is, if you still have the potential for newbie gains like you said.

>>37915197
>>37915220

>>37915220
Not him but what wrong's with his bench?

>>37915268
Its really low with the rest of his lifts

>>37915354
symmetric strength puts it at 3% below
that's not all that terrible

>>37915107
TM is still like weekly, yeah you can.

This is really weak though, you sure you don't want to eke out a few more pounds on SS?

>>37915354
are you going by pounds or kilos?
In kilos, yeah his bench is pretty low. I doubt that he curls 105 kilos, so I think he's measuring in pounds
in that regard, his bench is not that far out of balance with the other lifts

>>37915526
>not curling 250 lbs
>even thinking about making it

on SS for 2 months
squats only gone up 70 pounds
only go up 5lbs per day
don't consistently work out 3 times a week

>245/185/125/90

it's g-g-genetics right?

>>37915354
No it isn't.

>>37917155
Shut up Benchlet

The routine you enjoy doing and will commit to is never a bad choice assuming said routine is sound. You'll just progress slower.

Really though, you're still weak and definitely within ss range of you want the truth.

Don't mean to take over OP's thread, but I don't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here

Plan on doing this once I get back into the gym. Only ever lifted while in school following what our coach had for us, and couldn't find many other routines that had power cleans in it that weren't entirely olympic lifts. I liked what we did in school and this is more closely related to it. Is it okay for me to do this over other routines?

Lifts:
Bench 205
Squat 305
Power Clean 195
