Okay I'm seriously considering saying fuck off to SS forever. Sure it's a great beginner program and it doesn't do anything it doesn't advertise and all that. But it's really unclear when you're supposed to stop doing it. I've been lifting for two years now but my lifts are still novice. My highest lifts ever are OHP: 1pl8 1RM Bench 1,5pl8 2RM Squat 2,5pl8 1RM and Deadlifts 3pl8 1RM. PC: 1pl8 3RM. I started at 135lbs BW @ 6ft and I now weigh 174lbs. I've been eating around 3-3500 calories every day but gain neither weight nor strength anymore. I've been stuck on around 187lbs squat for my worksets for about a year now with the occasional 225 5RM depending on mood and energy levels.

Just fuck my life up I feel like I*m an intermediate with novice tier strength. Fucking fuck everything

>>38293276
Squats ruined my knees. I hate squats. I hate SS.
Instead of being a curlbro who enjoys being a curlbro I want to die everytime I enter the gym. Fuck this.

>>38293639
I would definitely switch your routine dude. Jelly of your OHP though

>>38293639
Wasn't the fact that you no longer make progress an obvious sign that you need to change your routine?

>>38293691

Sure, however

I can't even fucking squat three plates yet.

>>38293580
He gained 45lbs of lbm in six months. He squatted 325 for five

>>38293580
>dat ass
Literally no ass training on the left except for example 2 which has squats once a week

>>38293715
He gained 10 pounds of water, 30 pounds of fat, and 5 pounds of muscle

>>38293639
You've been doing SS for 2 years and you can't even bench 2 plate? You are fucking up somewhere terribly man I don't know if it's your diet or your form or skipping gym days but you are doing something horribly wrong.

>>38293702
Why are you using /fit/'s arbitrary 1/2/3/4 instead of the programs suggested "when you're not making progress"?

Also, what are your working weights?
I'm 5'8" 150, lifting on a cut for 9 months (2 were bulking, so 7 I guess) and my lifts aren't that far under yours. Are you sleeping enough, skipping or modifying workouts, etc?

>>38293769
They did a skin fold calliper test. It was 45lbs of lbm lol

>>38293808
Pretty sure they didn't, because that's literally, by the most stringent sense of the word literally, impossible. Not even a roid monkey will gain a quarter pound of muscle per day.

>>38293793

My 3x5 weights are Bench: 165lbs, Squat: 176lbs, Deadlift: 242lbs, OHP: 100lbs PC: 135lbs.

I'm sleeping around six hours a night. Impossible to get more unless I turn to drugs.

>>38293639
You stop doing SS when you can't make any progress with it, like every other beginner routine. This is usually when your bench/squat/deadlift are 1/1.5/2 times your body weight.

>>38293639
>>38293793
Here again
Just read that you're changing weights based on mood and energy, etc

You're not doing the program
Figure that shit out, change sleep schedules, meal timing, caffeine intake, maybe see a doctor

Assuming it isn't that, maybe you should switch programs

>>38293715
Nowhere near 45lbs, rippletits did bf measurements using a caliper, an mri has errors of +/-2% body fat, with calipers you'd be lucky to get errors of +/- 10%. Calipers do not take visceral fat into account, water retention and are highly dependant on technique. They are useless for getting accurate readings.
Rippletits is making up shit in order to sell his products

>>38293834
He was a skinny asf NOVICE

>>38293839
It's probably your sleep honestly
Change schedules (force yourself to lie in bed and try to sleep, don't just sleep when you're tired)
Or, see a doctor
You're getting like 70% of the sleep you should

>>38293899
>from a skinny as fuck novice
>to a fat Rippetoe apprentice

>>38293871
>guy uses the same means of measuring something
THE DATA IS FLAWED!

Nice try Lyle MacDonald

>>38293899
How does that mean he can do the impossible?

>>38293929
>Consistantly using bad techinque gives good data
Go to bed rippletits

My 3x5s:

Bench: 165
Squat: 300
Deadlift: 250
OHP: 25

How do I leave humanity behind?

Hahahaha all these cunts struggling with SS. Fuck strength lol, the point is to get big.

I'm doing superset brosplits and I feel great.

>>38294115
That's cool
