I understand a beginner should start with a ~5x5 strength program for foundation. At what point should a natural switch to higher reps if their goal is hypertrophy? Should I wait until I hit 225 bench etc. with a strength program? Thanks for any advice.

Is there a particular reason you want to do this? Why not just continue getting stronger with a strength program?

The only reason I say that is that you can alter strength programs to include some sort of hypertrophy...

Why do so many young guys buy $50,000-$100,000 cars?
Where do they get the money for this?

That's what I was planning on, keeping 3x5 on main lifts and then 10-15 reps for corresponding isolation lifts after. I mainly just want to know if I'm doing this too early if I still can't bench 225lbs

It's called a loan. OH, and no savings, and no family help too.
>>39608795
thats a 350z you can get one for like 5k

Brand new 370z is 30k canadian monopoly monies.
A used 350z in good condition costs less than a new Civic.

Being an intermediate isn't classified on how much you can lift, but on your progress. If you have truly exhausted your SS/w/e program, and I mean TRULY, then I'd say it's high time.
Is your bench progress really stuck? Diet in check? Deloaded already? Gone to 3x3, etc.?

No I'm just being impatient. I'll stick to the program then until I really stall. Thanks.

Hey, I mean to each their own. I'm just saying that I've been there and it sucks to see no progress, but the problems were usually things I did outside of the gym and not in it that were causing me to stall. Gl out there m8
