is a 320 squat on SS pretty much the end of the program? I haven't

>Surely my linear gains will continue forever, I'll be at 2pl8 soon!

Unless you're 250 poons with prior athletic or weight lifting experience, no you won't be hitting a 4 pl8 squat on a beginner program. You'll be lucky to hit 3 pl8 in a reasonable amount of time.

I guess 3's the goal. I'd be pretty happy with that

It depends on your rest, genetics, and how hard you're willing to bulk.

3pl8 squat is realistic and should be achieved on most beginner Programs. You're ready for an intermediate program after you've stalled after a couple of resets, and have ruled out external factors such as rest/diet/form as the cause of said stall. What this number will be will vary for each individual.

What's a good aim for OHP?

165lbs x 5

I linear progressed to 315 5x5, maybe 320 for one or two sessions. People generally are skeptical nowadays and I don't squat that now, but it was fun the first 6 months I had ever stepped into a gym

I stopped SS when I hit 405, its a good number and 4 plates is impressive even to non normie lifters. it took me about 8 months to achieve that, I was also eating at a caloric surplus for the whole time as well, I didn't do gomad, but I still drank whole milk with every meal. now I am doing 5/3/1

Okay bros. I'm reading some of Zach's Progress. His squat was at 345x5. Rip was saying that they were using TM for squats. Is he saying that he was doing SS for all the other lifts and he was doing TM style just for the squats?

I'm thinking because not all of your lifts are going to stall out at once

I could only linearly progress to 120kg squat.
It's different for everyone.
Texas method took me to 160kg, but by that point I was getting too fat for my own liking, so I went on a cut.

Then you lost all your strength and stopped lifting? what happened?
