Hey can /fit/ actually give some advice for once?
I have been a long-time lurker and just got a gym-card at a local 24/7 gym.
I am going to start today and I was wondering which weights I should start with for my 5x5 for SS.
I was there yesterday and tried to determine my maxes. I didn't do 5 sets, just fucked around adding weight. Here is my maxes and some sets of 5 listed for big movements:
OHP 1max= 47.5 kg, 5max 40kg, failed the 5th rep.
Squat: 1 pl8 for 5 reps.
Benchpress 55 kg for 5, did not try max, afraid to fail.
Deadlift: 2.5pl8.
Chinups, not even one. Tried som barbellrows and got 1pl8, but I think I cheated with my form.
What are some good accessories? I'm thinking about Reverse-flies and skull-crushers for a start.
Is SS a bad idea? Where did you guys start?
Also I'm 6 foot 1, and a little bit fat, at 100 kg kinda I don't know my scale only goes to 100 and it broke.
bump plz help
bump, I just wanna be one of you guys. My short termgoal is 1/2/3/4, and doing a single pull-up
I guess I just start at like 3 increments lower and try to add one increment (2.5 kg) per session.
How much sets should you dead lift?

SS is good for its name. Starting strength. Do it for a few months to build up a decent strength base if your really new. After a few months though, research an intermediate program or risk falling for the t-Rex SS meme.

Ok thanks:) Should I stop right after 3pl8 squat?
Can I switch out Chinups for barbell rows untill I hit around my body weight? Or is negatives-chinups preferred?
