Are there better beginner routines than SS? What about Greyskull?

Any beginner routine is good if you eat right and put the work in.
If you're afraid of too big legs then just stop squatting heavier... its not rocket surgery.

Dude, I Squat 140kg for 5, been doing 5x5 and then madcow for a long time, still not trex mode. Legs are big? Sure, but no way I look like the meme pics.

Actually read SS and add the upper body accessories.

If you are doing pull ups or lateral pulls with rowing as well as doing arms 2x a week you wont look t rex

doesn't fucking matter. SS is good ignore the meme that it's bad. you'll be on it for like 6-9 months at most before you become intermediate.

the point of beginner routine is to do compounds 3x week to get strong fast at those lifts and some accessory shit on the side.

And do you think this is better than Greyskull? Cause that's what I was doing before I stopped lifting. Looking to get back into it.

My current stats for 185 ibs 6'0 are

Bench: 170 x 5
Squat: 2 Plate x 5
Deadlift: 2 plate x 5
OHP: 95 x 5

If I worked hard over the summer would I be able to get up to like intermediate level?

>>41277531
not him but i'd say around 245 for squats, 265 for deadlift, 175 bench, 110 press for intermediate levels.

you're close on squats and bench. press and deadlift need some work though

>>41277415
such an innocent pure looking qt omg what kind of conditions that make you do such things.
i'll pray for her tonight <3

I thought 1/2/3/4 is when you're considered intermediate

SL. also you can switch from 5x5 to like 4x8 for max hypertrophy effects. better than the brosplits quite clearly.

>>41277699
you become intermediate when you can no longer add weight every single workout. that usually takes less than a year, around 6-8 months on average i'd say.

1234 might not be possible for those that never did any sports before lifting and it will take them more than a year to achieve while people with sport background can get those numbers in less than a year while they are still in noob gains. obviously there will be outliers but that's from my experience.

no. novice/intermediate has nothing to do with numbers

novice is when you make PRs every workout, intermediate is when you make PRs every week

if you work hard all summer, you might exhaust your novice progression, but the goal isn't to finish it quick, it's to keep it going as long as you can before you switch to more complex programming

She's a painter now. Works out of NYC and has done some art exhibits of her art.

>>41277699
it depends on your weight

most people interpret "intermediate" to mean "can no longer add weight every session (when all other factors—nutrition, rest, effort, etc.—are not putting up barriers to progress)"

http://symmetricstrength.com/ gives an alternative formalisation of what it means to be "intermediate". for someone who weighs 81kg, the standards are 59kg/91kg/122kg/141kg (approximately 1/1.75/2.5/3)

her face looks innocent, reread the post

this routine has 4 times bench, 2 times didly variation, 3 times squat variation, multipe row variants, lower back work, add ab-work and it is perfect. http://www.jtsstrength.com/articles/2016/03/07/considerations-for-beginners/
only rest for a minute to get better working capacity.
afterwards peak with the juggernaut method, to 5x8 to 5x5 and 6x3.
ebook is in the 4chan drop.

I would give her my "milk" in order to use it as paint.

>>41277415
I prefer wendlers 5 3 1

>>41277745
eh i'd still gf her

>>41277415
The SS variation in the sticky seems good. Decent amount of arm work, decline situp and hyperextension accessories

>>41277531
just try to do the program until you can no longer progress linearly and have to deload twice

Interesting. I thought I was the only one who would have a relationship with an ex-pornstar.

Pic related is wife material.

>>41279885
Yick. That dick looks like a pitbull's chew toy after a week of duty.

>>41279914
Not all dicks are prepared for her, I guess...

>>41279885
Yeah, it may just be my yellow fever (+half-asians), but she only did like 3 videos so it wouldn't bother me too much. I'm not too sure if I'd date a former career pornstar, that seems like a different situation.

Just run 5/3/1 Big But Boring. It doesn't treat you like a retard like SS does and you'll get more than enough arm and upper body lifts to even out.

Theres the link - I've been running it for 6 months now and it's going great.
