Been doing starting strength for 2-3 months and thinking of doing

Good memes

Yeah, starting strength is somewhat meme-tier, but isn't muscle confusion a somewhat legitimate concept?

>>39649183
No.

Seems as if you're conflating the idea of "muscle confusion" with that of the body adapting to particular stresses. Introducing more volume, frequency, or intensity is what promotes growth after stalling.

I guess I was kind of using words interchangeably where they shouldn't be then. What would you recommend for someone who both wants to increase his major lifts and gain muscle, and also wants to get out of a stall? The one time I did GVT, I came back to the gym and could easily beat my old ORM, so I assume it can't be that bad while natty.

>>39649183
starting strength isn't even bad, just only doing it for 3 months is bad.

>>39649254
Should I just stick with that then? Or is there merit in taking a week off and doing GVT?

>>39649261
GVT is a dumb program, you're going to hit diminishing returns for all that volume so quickly, by the time you're at you 5th set each subsequent one is probably going to do next to nothing, but it's going to take you a long time to recover. There's much smarter ways to do high volume than doing a retardedly high volume workout once a week, which will probably be less overall volume than some high volume DuP program

Just do the same lifts you've been doing, just adjust intensity, frequency or volume.

If you increase volume, after working sets drop weight by half and do two sets to failure.

Start squatting daily at 65% max.

Add more weight each week.

If you're goal is to lift heavy weight, and you're relatively new to lifting, then yes you should stick with starting strength and add your own accessories in there.
