stronglifts is telling me to do some srs dyel tier lifts at the

Don't care what other people think

The point is to accumulate volume and increase work capacity.

Your 6 RM is usually 85% of your real max so if youre doing a 6 rep set and its baby weight easy you need to really push up your 1RM

You should feel like dying after a real set of 6 for example.

also i just wanna say how great it is to be posting here again. nothings really changed in 3 years. these "high test" threads are new but thats about it

>>39733079
Yeah they said to start with like 50% of your 5RM.

>>39733079
it's your fault for thinking mehdi is a better strength coach than rippetoe.

>>39733138
He says to start with the bar.

>>39733170
mehdi does, yes. rip doesn't.

>>39733170
Rippetoe doesn't. Rippetoe has an entire section dedicated to telling you where to start.

>>39733079
I was in the same boat. Just did it as it said. Why? Muscles will bounce back quickly. Ligaments and tendons that have been stagnant will not. You tear them, you're fucked.

there's a difference between starting with fairly light, but reasonable weights (like SS) and ridiculously easy weights that cause no adaptation and waster your time (SL).

It's to practice the form retard. You faggots are in such a rush to get weight on there to keep your fear of being ridiculed away.

Then do dyel tier lifts
Gotta start somewhere faggot

>>39733261
you have plenty of time to practice form on SS, dumbass, and there's absolutely nothing that stops you from doing extra sets with an empty bar either. stop trying to rationalize this shit. mehdi is a marketer, not a strength coach, and you're a moron for defending his stupid shit.

If the load isn't high enough, you can't practice your form properly, particularly with squats and deadlifts. Doing 10,000 reps with 65 lbs on deadlifts to achieve "le perfect form" will not be helpful if your 1RM is actually 250. You need to actually have a load that is large enough to somewhat mimic a working set, or you're just wasting your time.

Nobody is saying to jump straight into your 5RM, retard. But there is no reason for somebody to spend 3-4 weeks working their way from the bar to finally get into range that is actually useful for developing strength, hypertrophy, and good form habits. Rippetoe's way is infinitely better.
