Thinking about saying fuck SS and hitting new maxes and just

Congratulations! You've demonstrated the ability to use common sense by creating a program that fits your needs instead of using someone elses.

Lol

Anyone else? Should I have just posted on qtddtot? Suggestions/tips?

Do what you want. I'd say that if you want to look aesthetic your bare minimum would probably be over 1pl8 OHP, 2 pl8 bench, 2pl8 squat, 4 pl8 diddy, and pull ups for reps.

If you can do that then have at it. Otherwise you'll probably just be another twink fuccboi who goes to the gym for years doing hypertrophy but not actually gaining anything meaningful.

The nice thing about a strength routine is that it has clear linear progression, once you plateau or meet goals you can move to just doing tons of hypertrophy.

>2 pl8 squat

Are you ready?

Hit 1 pl8 ohp, and 2 pl8 squat (more really) haven't worked my dl that high yet (w/o straps anyways) but the shitty part is my bench. I can barely rep 185 it's like I've plateaued there... tips?

here's something i do and it made me jump 20lbs (no joke) one week while doing bench:
take longer between sets & stretch your chest

>beginners can program better than professionals because they are special snowflakes

Do whatever the fuck you want op but you won't find much more Efficient movements than the ones in proper beginner programs and your progress will likely be slowed by your stubbornness

desu you don't start looking good until you hit 2/3/4/5

Rippetoe isn't a professional.

You need a fairly special definition to find a way in which Rip is not a professional in the field.

Never got why /fit/ novices are so impatient

>glimpse at random forum post on how SS rep range is setup
>do single workout
>get upset and quit to do magazine workout made by bodybuilder who just throws shit together to sound unique to some idiots

Bruh its a novice program that don't even take a full year (if you are super skeleton who has never moved in life) and then you move onto another program. What happened did you lift weights for a week and cry because of your 15lb progression?

It's weird, especially since SS is basically impatience: the routine. it's entirely based around getting the most out of right now, longterm be damned.
