I've been running Starting Strength for a month now and I added cleans to my workout yesterday for the first time, which is described as phase 2 on the starting strength website. How long should I run this phase of the program until I switch to phase 3? On the site it just says that it could vary from several weeks to several months but it doesn't say what parameters to use to know when to switch.

Just keep following it until you have the proportions of a woman.

You should be doing it until you have achieved your noob gains, which are linear. When you have stalled for a week, which means that you haven't been able to raise your weight for three work outs, you should change programs to a intermediate one. This should take about one to two months.

For me it happened when I reached 92,5 kg in squats, 120 kg in dead lift, 70 kg in bench press, and 50 kg in press. I can't remember what I power cleaned, but I had some issues with power clean so I stopped doing them after a while.

Also this might be of help.

I think that you should be able to achieve novice status with linear gains.

do a split, SS is a lower body program and you'll look like shit forever if you neglect upper body when gettting your noob gains.

doing a split will be less effective than doing starting strength though. maybe you'll look like a dinosaur for a while, but you'll get stronger faster. you'll get a nice body by next summer, just hide yourself in baggy clothes this winter.

adding chin ups and pull ups should be enough

Chins, curls, shoulder press, bench press, dips are all shit for upper body, huh.

because all of those accessories are in starting strength

You have to remember that no one except me has read the book. I've even watched the DVD. Really sad.

Read the book.

When your deadlift gets too heavy to do every workout, you move to Phase 2.

When you begin microloading your bench press, you move to Phase 3.
