Is SS a meme

> Mind you it's called starting strenght, not starting aesthetics

This is the biggest bullshit lie. The hard truth is that NOTHING an untrained person does for the first 3 months is going to make them look more or less aesthetic than anything else. SS will not make you aesthetic. Neither will a bro-split, but to hear people here say it, they think doing sets of preacher curls with 20 lbs and three sets of ab crunches is going to get you Jacked-And-Chad mode.

If you're getting exercise routines from Jow Forums, chances are your testosterone is very low anyway and you're not going to put on a noticeable amount of muscle no matter which routine you do, at least for the first six months

Trying to periodize training in people with 400 lb totals is retarded. Everybody should start with an LP.

Dude, You even quoted me saying that its not called starting aesthetics, why are you pretending that I was saying something else? Starting strenght is for strenght, it could take years before someone looks aesthetic.

ss is good but you need more bench
do bench every workout along with squats

bench more to bench more as the saying goes

ive had the idea that instead of increasing the weight every workout that you increase it every set

for instance, you do the following on Monday:

Squat
135x5
135x5
140x5

and do the next on Wednesday:

Squat
135x5
140x5
140x5

would this be an EASIER way to linearally progress? it IS progressive overload because you're doing more work in the latter sets.

It's a meme.

See: Every high level coach ever.

yes its a meme. fatasses and autists act like you have to pick between heavy compounds and isolation exercises when they're not mutually exclusive. you can do heavy compound and then isolations

If you're a weak bitch SS will get you stronger really fast.
If you're a skinny bitch GOMAD will get you bigger really fast.
It's a meme in the sense that it just gets repeated by people who don't fully understand it, but it works. Any routine with progressive overload and caloric surplus works.

SS does include some isolation work. Read the damn book before you criticize.

i didn't say it doesn't. i said proponents of that style of training and that program in particular hate on isolation movements which is true. chin ups and dips aren't isolations, they're compounds and rippetoe himself heavily advises against things like curls, he just says you can do them if you want

I did SS, now I'm on a 4days upper/lower split and still kinda dyel but making good gains
overall I still think doing SS was a good choice

SS is a shit meme spread around by retarded DYELs and Trex abominations and rippletits cocksuckers

Squatting once a week and deadlifting once a week is what the vast majority of powerlifters have been doing before the internet was even a thing, squatting 3x a week is just gonna make you into a trex

this
rippetoe literally said 'do curls because having big arms is fun'
Jow Forums just invented its own version of ss

he doesn't advice against isolations
he says you can't progress strength on them much and have to base training around compounds for that reason
which is also what literally everyone else says
you're a brainlet with 0 reading comprehension

>skateboard squats

when did you switch? after you platoed, when you hit your strength goals like 1/2/3/4 or after a certain time frame like 3 months?
How exactly am I supposed to know when to switch?

I am kind of stuck on 58kg/128lbs bench and 62kg/137 lbs squat for over 2 weeks now. Overhead will probably be the stuck soon at 40kg/88 lbs. Only deadlift goes up every workout 85 kg/187 lbs at the moment.

>which is also what literally everyone else says
Imagine being this retarded.

yes

here we go again

>Sucking the estrogen out another mammals titties
Never gonna make it.

What's an LP, I've seen this before.

If you want to get big, get stronger. You can do it with any rep range, you can do it with compound movements or by isolating every single muscle it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is efficiency, because you don't want to spend hours in the gym when you can get the same result by replacing isolations with compound movements and 100 rep sets with lower rep ones with heavier weights.

hey user, I'm back
I switched after a plateau I didn't want to break by bulking so around 45/75/90/120kgs 5rm, at 75kgs of bodyweight
hope I've been helpful

Squat volume too low

SS is for fat unaesthetic fucks
