SL squats

Because you don't get stronger faster by doing less?

Intensity would be more, not less.

Nah man start microloading if you feel like you're stalling. You're doing squats every single session in the gym, there's no need to add 5 pounds a session to your squat. Get microplates, Cut your increment in half or even less if you're stalling hard and do more sets if you feel like you can crank put some after the fifth.

Intensity isn't the main driver of strength development. Overall volume is. And there's fuck-all difference in weight between 3x5 and 5x5 to justify lopping off close to half your volume.

I figured that if I was going to fail anywhere, it'd be in the final set rather than the first three. Maybe upping my rest times beyond 3 minutes is a better solution?

SS does just fine with 3x5

SS is intended to be a very shortterm solution with a built-in peaking process. If you're not looking specifically at displaying maximal strength in 8ish weeks after starting, you're deviating from the goal.

No it fucking isn't. It's a program for retarded beginners like op to get strong.

>>40326756

The original program is to get people ready for football season from nothing. It's not meant to be maintained for more than a couple months, max, before they move onto something else more directly relevant.

That's why its so aggressive and low volume - how good it makes you in six months or a year is irrelevant. What you can manage in the near future is.

stop, just stop

you are sharing actual lifting knowledge

on /fit/

you can't do this here

Read the book and you'll find that after a pretty short time you're adding accessories to increase volume
