The original starting strength does not contain any exercises

>>38769088
SS has chinups and dips.

>>38769088

Except SS has chinups, dips, and power cleans built in, and Rippetoe tells you to add in accessories once you're no longer a true novice.

>>38769088
It's a shit program written by a morbidly obese weakling to scam people

>>38769095
and curls for that matter.
Rippetoe covers his oversized t-rex ass by telling you to add those "as necessary".

basically don't do SS.

Doesnt matter, SS has a lot of useful info - especially on form - but is shit in some aspects - especially nutrition.

Add in rows in place of power cleans + dips and chins. It.... It really transforms into SL, but who gives a shit.

>>38769116
If the author of the program himself asked you to add those exercises in then it's still SS you dingus. All these fucking dumbfucks who have probably never read the book thinking SS is literally just 3 exercise a day should STFU

>>38769138
He actually has decent nutrition advice. Basically, whole foods, high protein, caloric surplus. He only throws GOMAD out there as an option for very skinny teenage males.

>>38769088
SS specifically says to add barbell curls if you're bitching about your biceps.

>>38769452
I have read the book, have you? Dyel?

And to whoever wrote that shit about nutrition advice being on point, dafuq are you high on anon? Gomad is moronic, and eating 6000 calories a day isnt gonna help your lifts - itll make you fat as fuck.

tfw when my face is world class
>looking too good to lift

>>38770061
GOMAD is fine for a month or six weeks for a 120 lbs 17 year old.

>>38769088
Don't do SS. Do squats, though. It's the most important leg exercise.

Do some more reading. Read everything people say. Read their workout plans. Study how they use different strategies for different goals. Decide what your goals with lifting are. Then, design your own program and your own diet around everything you've learned geared toward your own specific goals.

This is the ONLY right answer. Anyone who takes a program at face value without tweaking it is retarded.

Been doing this minus squats on wednesday cause I fucked up my knees going "heavy" 3 days a week. Am I JUSTing myself?

>>38769088
Yes it does, read the fucking book.

I'd rather be trex mode than fat

Is there a way to use symmetric strength to look at a routine anatomically like that?

>>38770555
iktf

>>38769095
>>38769108
ss doesnt have dips

>>38769452
so as accessories should i stick with dips chins and curls?

>>38770061
GOMAD wasn't invented by Rippetoe. It's been used by lifters to add mass fast since at least the 1950s.

>>38769452
Rippetoe made a shitty simplistic unbalanced program then told his readers to add more exercises as necessary. How the fuck would a beginner know what's necessary? Is this Advanced Strength?

>>38771318
Couldn't go wrong with those three.

>>38772231
By reading the book

>>38772976

you didn't fuck up your knees because you went "heavy" 3 days a week retard, you fucked up your knees because you learned how to squat from a 4 minute youtube video made by a roidhead
