Finally a decent SS record!
Hi everyone,
I am doing SS now, about 3 months into the program.
I have made tons of resets and technique check on my squats until I was able to do a proper LB squat with a good depth and without coming up in a GM, but I am breaking PRs now and coming up nicely.
Was also injured twice, and my BP and press were and still are stuck as I can't break new records yet.
I don't have bumper plates, but I am doing the program as it is, and also involve PC being careful not to drop the bar, and I just love the 5X3 I do on the PC, they obviously strengthen my DL a lot and vice versa.
I wasn't that skinny when I started SS but I did go up from 82KG to 94kg(like 210) atm height is 1.86, most jeans won't fit, but I am way stronger.
My program was like this:
A:
Squat
Bench
Deadlift
B:
Squat
Press
Powerclean
I am now adding chinups each workout until I can do 15 reps per set on my BW, I got really weak at chinups, and I was able to do 12 before SS
The reason I was so happy and fealt I need to share the enthusiasm with everyone is I recently deadlifted(yesterday) 140KG(315 lbs) for 5 reps, and I am still going up by jumps of 5 kilograms. On the last workout I used chalk and boy does it help!
My PC are currently at 65KG, and going up by 2.5KG jumps. also
I hope I can reach high number soon on my squats also, but atm nothing is stopping me ![Smile](https://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/smile.gif)
Boy SS is awesome, if you are willing to work hard, you'll eventually get stronger, no matter how messed up your tecnique gets(belive me I know)
