Is this SS?
Camden Rivera
How the fuck can you barely row 50 kg when you deadlift 130 kg
Samuel Mitchell
probably pull ups, chin ups, dips, squats, deadlifts, OHP, rows
Dominic Mitchell

Jeremiah Diaz
Lol manlet
Robert Cooper
No, SS stands for Schutzstaffel.
Joseph Hughes
I've just started rowing so it's something I haven't really tried adding weight to. Deadlifting was one of the first big lifts I started doing so it's way ahead of all my other lifts.

Julian Hall
program/routine?
Ethan Thompson
Been doing SL for a couple months brehs, happy with my pulls but my bench/OHP are awful. Is there anything I can do to improve them faster?
My most recents are:
65kg bench press 5x5
37.5kg OHP 5,5,5,5,4
Thanks brehs

Used to gym every second day. Now I just go 4 x a week.

Tired. Meant I would go two days in a row, one day break. Rinse and repeat.

Elijah Martin
Samuel Ramirez
seriously though, I think I fucked up
Ian Price
Stop autistically doing 5 max, going 8-12 multiple reps with lower weight made me shoot from 40kg 1rm to 60kg 1rm in 2 months with 5/3/1
Mason Murphy
kroist mate step up the ohp
Gavin Morales
I think that symmetric strength is full of shit, personally. There's a massive bias in their upper body values.
Elijah Evans
>There's a massive bias in their upper body values.
What do you mean?
Bentley Cruz
I mean that for whatever reason (pick your favorite fit meme) it overvalues your lower body values and greatly undervalues your upper body values. I assume that it's averaged out on what people chuck in there, so one conclusion could be that a significant amount of SS users skip leg day and embellish their upper body presses.
Connor Smith
gotcha, thanks
Bentley Howard
No idea how it calculates strength per bodypart. Here's mine. Only error I now see after taking the screenshot is that I'm 26, not 23. Used to be stronger overall (particularly lower body) but I snapped my shit up a little while back and I've been working my way back up.
Juan Rogers

You better be a manlet

Dylan Johnson
guy how the fuck are you supposed to activate calves
nothing on this site shows anything for calves
Charles Ortiz
Could be me. What went wrong and how do I fix it?
Henry Cox
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEE
Carter Collins
Or back, apparently. What's going on, big guy?
Mason Morgan
I forgot to put in rows
I'm still just a skinny fuccboi though
Jaxson Sullivan
What about clean/snatch?
Connor Phillips
No, that doesn't even show calves either.
The site even lets you hover over calves like it's an activatable thing, but nothing you can select will do it.
Xavier Cooper
Probably to simulate the fact that nothing you do will ever make your calves grow. 2deep4u

mfw fairly good at oph but suck at bench. 2 yrs liftan
Ethan Kelly
5/3/1 victim
Camden Hughes
wtf is up with all the benchlets on Jow Forums? it's THE lift to compare with your bros
Isaac Rodriguez
5/3/1 just takes a few tweaks to turn it into a decent strength/power lifting program imo
Nicholas Stewart
How do I get my shoulders to step up their fucking game?
Jaxson Parker
You can't program bench parallel to squats
You need way more volume. (You don't even need squat accessories)
My bench volume is twice as my squat volume.
Nathaniel Davis
how do you tweak it? how does it compare to SL 5x5?
t. another 5/3/1 victim
Austin Myers
11 months lifting. Happy that I already have pecs to advanced. My squats suck ass though.
Josiah Hernandez

Gavin Gutierrez

This is from the FAQ of their app - which lifts corresponds to what muscle group in most dominant order
Kayden Phillips
SS claims another victim
Landon Clark
You don't even want to know what I look like honestly.
Elijah Reyes
Your pendlay form is probably really shitty. Drop the ego and stop fucking the bar while you're pulling up and do nice clean reps
Christian Thomas
That's probably fair, I always find it difficult to not involve my legs in rows. Maybe I should switch to bent-over rows or something? I have definitely noticed despite the form that my back grows a lot from cheat rows, so I might just keep doing them.
Wyatt Perez
how fucked am i?
Joseph Flores
Im definitely not at your strength level, but I have a hard time correcting things I pointed myself and my symmetry is pic related, so it's similar case as you. Yeah cheat rows are gift from heaven man. But it's probably for the best if we include only clean reps in SS
Brandon Turner
Yeah man that's completely fair.
Even judging by my pullup strength it's pretty clear that my strict rowing isn't great pound for pound, I'm trying to add more pullups but I always find they mess with my shoulders.
Nolan Reed
Pretty happy with this. Three years ago I injured my low back/hip so badly I couldn't walk for weeks. Took nearly 2 years of rehab before I could even start squatting over 135 again. Took another year to creep back to 225. I'll never squat 4 plates again, but I'm happy just to squat more than I bench again.
Not sure I'll ever go past 95+ unless I start Juicing, but if I could stay 90+ for the rest of my life, I'll die a happy and fulfilled man.
Life goal would be to weighted chinup my Bodyweight. I'm close, but I'm getting older and I can feel the window closing :X.
Ryder Gray
>tfw as average as it gets
Lifted casually on off for like 1.5 years, been lifting rigorously for just under 2 months
I'm 6'1, 169 lbs (started at 150 lbs 2 months ago), and lifting almost exactly
0.5 / 1 / 1.5 / 2
Oh well, I'll just slowly continue to escape mr. skellington mode
Cameron Cooper
What do you recommend for the upper body lifts
Ive been doing 3x5 BP at 80% on ohp days and 3x5 ohp 80% on BP days. Along with other accessory like dips and inclined bench.
Should I go for more volume? Like 3x8-12 65-75%
Brody Baker
Went into the gym 4 months ago following SL thinking fucking yeah lets bench, and I guess I'll squat too..
Nope. No bench for me, only endless plateaus. Squat and dead tho? FUCK YEAH.
Should I change it up or stick with it a little longer. I've never plateaued DL yet, always do 7-10 reps on the working set to.
Nolan Smith
Half squats 10xfailure
Jack Young
What form of pull ups do you have? I found out, that having arms just little more apart than shoulder-width and performing deadstop after every rep helped my shoulder health tremendously. Before, I would feel extreme pain in left shoulder after 2nd-3rd pull up and I would sit for 5 minutes, before I could carry on lifting
