Starting Strength 5 Days a Week?

>>40469049

You won't "overtrain"
But you will probably stall pretty quickly simply because you aren't giving yourself enough time to recover.

It'll work fine for the first week or two, but the weights get heavy feeling fast on SS.

There is no point in doing it like you plan to.
If you want to do this because you enjoy being in the gym, then find a 5 day routine that is designed to be done over 5 days.

Yes he will "overtrain".

OP that routine is 100% retarded, you must be trolling. 3/10 made me reply.

Are you on steroids? If yes, it will work. If no, nothing will work.

You don't know what overtraining is brother.
lmao at thinking simply lifting 5x a week could cause it.

that's exactly what overtraining is though

>>40469233

>>40469240

(OP Here)

Regardless wether it's overtraining or not, I don't want to stall early. So what can I do on "off days" doing starting strength by the book?

Can I run? Do abs? Chinups? Dips?

OP Here

I knew this was coming, to rephrase... "What can I do on off days that wont mess with my progress on the main lifts ?"

>>40469405
hate to break it to you

you will not be able to progress linearly on SS (meaning increment weight every workout) if you do anything on off days

my recommendation is you get your lifts up there first and then worry about doing stuff on your off-days

also, chin-ups and dips are included in SS

Lets say I have to run and do abs (planning on enlisting) when could I best fit it in?

>>40469503
when do you intend on taking the phys test?

>>40469503
>planning on enlisting
Don't think SS is the best thing for the army. They favor cardio bunnies.

In 2 months. I have no idea when i would enter basic though. Could be one month after could be 10.

>>40469425
The one thing you can do on off days is dieting consistently according to your program.

do ss and hiit on fridays so you have enough time to recover by monday

hiit is more efficient for running progression. switch hiit to the actual test a month out, and again 2 weeks out so you have benchmarks to work with
