SS thread

Wow.. Someone who's actually doing the program..

If I remember correctly he doesn't say whether or not to stop adding 5kg after a couple weeks. I think you'll just have to feel this one out mate.

Keep adding 5kg till you can't then go to the same amount as the others.

Also did you read that you can DL every workout until you have to deload?

I'm sure I read that in the book

I think Rip uses very vague wording regarding this specific topic. Like "you might be able to add 10lbs every workout, but that will not be sustainable for very long. Switching to 5lbs should be sustainable for months" kind of deal, and then goes on.

OP, this could help you: in the Stronglifts program that somewhat recalls SS, Mehdi says to increase DL by 5kg each time you deadlift until you hit 100kg. Once at 100kg, you only add 2.5kg per workout so it looks something like : 90kg -> 95kg -> 100kg -> 102.5kg -> 105kg etc.

Similarly, for BP and The Press, at some point, when you start stalling, you should add 1.25kg each new workout (gotta buy your own fractional plates) rather than 2.5kg.

Squat is the only exercise where he says to stick to 2.5kg increment each time. Good luck with that tho...

>Should I keep adding 5kg
Yes.

I'm beginning to understand why Rip is such a cranky old man.

>Hey OP, instead of checking the book, I'm going to type several paragraphs of advice about some other program that is not SS! Surely this is more helpful than just reading the book!

OP, just read the book. This is answered in the book. Look in the book, OP.

Reminder to do accessory exercises after the big three, such as chin ups, dips, tricep extentions, curls and lat raises.

OP keep adding 5kg till you fail. 'Deload' to the last weight you did for 5 reps, then go up by 2.5kg from there.

For example;

150kg x5
155kg x4
150kg x5
152.5kg x5
