what do you guys think of stronglifts? my friend and i are trying it and i love it. how much can you shoulder press compared to your bench? what muscle does the deadlift work most for you? what can i tell my friend so she stops bending her wrists so damn much?

>what do you guys think of stronglifts?
I think its a sub-optimal beginner routine with too little volume. If I ran it, I'd add chins and dips to each day, and a bicep or tricep iso.
>how much can you shoulder press compared to your bench?
my bench 5rm is 230, OHP 5rm is 135. ymmv
>what muscle does the deadlift work most for you?
spinal erectors
>what can i tell my friend so she stops bending her wrists so damn much?
stop bending your wrists so damn much.
>>
her wrists need to get stronger though? and my legs are feeling like fuggin t rex legs since starting sl. so ohp is usually half of a persons bench? thats what i figured.

>what do you guys think of stronglifts?
Better off doing something with more volume like ICF 5x5. Blaha may have a shit body but the program is solid.
>how much can you shoulder press compared to your bench?
About 65-70% for me.
>what can i tell my friend so she stops bending her wrists so damn much?
You're much more stable and can project more power holding your wrists straight than bent back.

>her wrists need to get stronger though?
All they'll succeed in doing is tearing their tendons/ligaments.
>>
i agree with you on the keeping them straight part, so she just needs to lower the weight right? lift lighter till proper form comes along.
>>
>>42590163
You lift as light as you need to to maintain proper form. If you can't maintain form then you're lifting too heavy.
>>
thank you :) she can ohp the bar just fine. and her wrists are fine when she benches.
>>
would grippers help? i have a whole set of heavygrips. maybe starting her on the lightest one will make them stronger. or is that entirely different?
>>
>>42590078
I prefer SS. Volume is more than enough (5x5 is BB tier). I prefer chins over bent over rows. Maybe you could add some curls and once DL gets too heavy alternate with cleans.

Gl op.
