Hey guys.
I have been doing SS for around 6 months, and went from a BW of 67 kg (147 lb) to around 80 kg (176 lb). I never did any kind of physical exercise before so I started out pretty weak.
My current stats (5RM):
Squat - 150 kg (330 lb)
OHP - 43.5 kg (95 lb)
BP - 67.5 kg (148 lb)
DL - 152.5 kg (336 lb)
I read Rip's opinion about only stopping the program when I start stalling on the squat and dl. The problem is that I keep getting more and more tired after doing heavy squats, which in turn makes me keep getting stalled in the presses. Should I call it quits and start doing Texas Method?

No. Keep going and rest more and eat more.
bumping for interest

Start doing a split like a normal person.
Increase your bench press then do a split

Send a pic of your aesthetics senpai so we can laff
Holy fuck, how is your bench 1rm only 67kg. That's fucking insane. And a deadlift as strong as your squat, what the fuck
>>39943575
>>39943649
Why should I do that if I'm training for general strength?
>3 pl8 squat
>0.5 pl8 ohp
???
>>39943704
it's 5rpm
Tbh, I wouldn't do either desu.
You could do with something with a lot more pressing volume.
>>39943716
Ah, sorry about that. That doesn't really change the my reaction, though. Why is your bench so low?
>>39943704
>>39943713
Leave me alone... I already get ostracized enough because of that.
>>39943704
His form is probally fucked in the bench or overhead press. id had the sae problem with my suats/deads. i got my squat to 315 but could not dead lift more then 275. it started to be a problem when i realised i was all quads and no hamstrings. he has shit form/ muscle imbalance
>>39943733
Because when I try to lift heavier weights I can't lift them.
>>39943751
It's not something to be stressed about. You can change it, no doubt. Just focus more on bench and shoulder-tricep work, or try to do more reps, less weight on the bench
You sure you getting proper depth on your squat little buddy?
>>39943766
How strange
>>39943776
He is probably doing high bar like a pleb
>>39943771
How can I do that without messing up the program? Rippetoe explicitly says "Don't fuck with the plan". And I'm a good boy.
>>39943784
Nothing pleb about a proper high bar squat
>>39943784
>high bar
>pleb
pick one.
also high bar would mean greater depth. not lower.
>>39943796
I meant low bar sorry
I do low-bar squats. And yes I try to get proper depth everytime.
>>39943791
If it isn't working for you, change it up. Don't follow along Rippletits and other fitness gurus like an unquestioning slave. Doing as Rip has instructed clearly hasn't helped you, so change it
>>39943802
Now we're in agreement
>>39943824
I got some decent squat and dl gains, I'm just really bad in the normie lifts man.
>>39943487
try canditos routine you t-rex looking sack of shit
>>39943882
Which one, the LP or 6 weeks program? You filthy turd.
>>39943487
your stats are too imbalanced. You don't have to believe me, check yourself on symmetricstrength.com.
150kg squat is already proficient for a fucking athlete, whilst your chest is novice-tier.
you should really hop off ss and read yourself
http://docdro.id/vds9A30
then design a routine targeting your chest, triceps and shoulders way more. You don't have to follow meme routines here and there, you'll learn to target your goals consistently. Obviously chest and shoulders will be your first lifts if you're tired after squat.
sadly you're one of those who blindly accepted ss as their god and you're stuck with really unbalanced shit. ss may have been beneficial for you if were 67kg at 180cm (skellington mode) but now it's time to learn how to lift things with your brains too
>>39943929
personally I'd try LP for a little bit just to try spike your bench up somemore but there's no reason you can't just go onto the 6 weeks program now
>>39943979
Came here to troll but i feel like i might get something out of this thread.
>>39943487
this has to be a troll. you have a really good squat but completely shitty everything else
how is it possible
>>39944243
My dad would beat yours in a fistfight
Are you doing your accessory work? Doesn't seem it with T-rex stats like yours.
