Hi guys I'm 20 years old and have been messing around with lots of different programs. I decided to do SS since I never milked the beginner gains out of it. I had been doing the program consistently for a few weeks until I got to university and had to sort out my gym membership. I have my induction today so I should be able to get right back into it.
My best lifts so far from Madcow and SS. I switched to SS after realizing that I could be making some faster gains on it.
Squat 3x5 140kg 147.5kg ramped
Bench 87.5kg ramped
OHP 3x5 55kg 62.5kgx5 ramped
Deadlift 1x5 155kg ramped
BW: 81kg
Height: 170cm
I want to get my BW up to the proper weight for my height using the 3-4 pounds per inch that John Sheaffer talked about. As for the lifts I just want to increase them for as long as I can on this program. I really am not bothered with bench progression anymore. I am just fed up of lying down on poorly made benches and not having decent spotters. I really want a BW press though.
Since I have spent so much time screwing around with other programs have I missed the anabolic window that Mark was talking about on T nation? What kind of transfer have you guys had between 3x5 and 1rms?
