>Dont do SS they said But I put 150lb on my dead and 120lb

>>40120981
probably because that's not typical SS progress, OP

most people don't get near 230 3x5 on bench on SS, too little volume, but you appear to be gifted at benching (your deadlift isn't too great, on the other hand - probably have short limbs)

I ended up LPing right up to a 500lb deadlift using the SS model of 1x5 once a week, but my bench never got past 205 or so for a 1rm

>>40121008
And if you look at symmetric strength that means your body was very non symmetrical. My deadlift is actually my strongest lift if you look at the stats. Dunno wtf you were doing tbqh

>>40121026
symmetric strength is a meme based on nothing pal, 270 bench and 330 squat are not at all symmetrical unless you're going to a powerlifting meet for paraplegics

and yes, I was citing an extreme example to highlight how much SS progress can vary from person to person

>>40120981
SS did this to me in 3 months:
75 >> 275 Squat 3x5
135 >> 340 Dead 1x5
55 >> 135 Press 3x5
80 >> 190 Bench 3x5
45 >> 135 Power Clean 5x3

>Why start off as a weakling?
This was my rationale too. If I had done a "lean and clean" bulk, it would have taken a year to reach these numbers, and I would still look like a twig. By doing SS you get strong fast, and then you can decide whether you want to lean out, keep going for strength, sport specific, etc.

If that's your 3 month progress you are fucking gifted in strength man, I had to work out for years to hit those numbers on bench - got these goddamn monkey length arms

>>40121429
I'm pretty much at these stats after 9 (maybe 10) months, except for deadlift which I just can't progress on because the squat is so heavy I have no energy left.

SS confirmed for T-rex program

>>40121692
Not even him but I'm getting more and more convinced that you guys don't understand why your squat should be higher than your Bench.

LEGS AND ASS ARE MORE MUSCLE THAN CHEST AND ARMS

>>40122132
dont fall for bait

>>40121067
Youre purposely being a retard. You can clearly see there is an almost 6 point difference in the squat and bench in OP's numbers. Meaning 270 =/= 330 in symmetry. So the question is why are you pretending to be stupid? Are you a woman?

>>40122287
oh god, fuck off newfag

>>40121429
HOW ARE EVERYONE SO WEAK AND GET STRONG SO FAST

feels like my past life has been useless when people just skateboard ahead you in 2-3 months

>>40122336
You fell for the "SS is a troll" troll. You listened to people who believe Rippetoe's advice regarding diet is "too extreme."

>>40122233
Fuck I hate myself but it gets me good every time.
