Hi /fit. My gym membership is about to end and I'm going to a new gym which actually has a power rack. Due to the absence of a power rack I used to do brosplits
I've been on brosplits for 2 months and I can bench 25lbs and squat the same(have to deadlift and then overhead press because of no fucking Power rack)
Should I do stronglifts or starting strength?

ss
pendlay rows r dumb

>>38396705
Personally prefer starting strength over stronglifts but they're both very good full body routines based around progressive overload, which is your best bet for increasing strength in a timely matter. Just don't skip out on arm accessories like chin and pullups and dips if your triceps is lagging on your push lifts. Get a weighted belt once you're able to do 15 reps on either of those exercises.

bench and squat 25 lbs?!?!

>Pendlay rows are dumb
How so?
>>
>>38396803
Yeah I mean the bar is 45 lbs and 25 lbs on each side
I start with 15 lbs on each side and do 20 reps and do 3 sets while increasing 5 lbs eaxh time.
>>

They workout the same muscles as chins/pullups except that worse while being 10 times more taxing on your lower back.

He says to do 3 reps only. Arent 5 reps better? Pls no bully
>>
>>38396996
Add all the weight together.
Bar+2 25 plates=95lb
>>
>>38397043
Hmm ok. So with what weight should I start ss?
>>
>>38397147
>>38397028
Pls respond. Bump
>>
>>38397024
But I dont want to do cleans
>>
>>38397535
then do speed deadlifts with around 75 percent of your normal weight.
they serve the same purpose, ie: explosiveness + pulling volume
>>
Also what warmup should I do? Is it even necessary?
>>
>>38397028
For what? Cleans?
>>
>>38398193
Most of the exercises. sl says 5x5 while ss says 3x5
>>
>>38397028
Three sets, five reps per set.
Seriously the best thing you can do at this point is buy/steal a copy of the book (3rd edition) and read it.
>>
>>38398204
Oh you mean 3 sets instead of 5?
>>
>Candito's LP
>reg parks 5x5
both are better than SS
>>
>>38398253
Why?
>>
>>38397481
Read starting strength or at least parts that you need. There's PDFs online readily available
>>
>>38398228

>>
>>38397535

>>
>>38396705
