Stall????
I just finished my 7th (thought it was my 8th but not) week of SS. I have not stalled yet, but I feel i may soon. http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=25805
Here is my log... just wondering if anyone would say these numbers are normal for novice trainers, and if they are reasonable for a first stall because I feel one coming soon with the bench, oh press, and mostly the squat.

Yes they seem normal to me, they are at around where mine are and ive been training for only slightly longer than you, but eat...LOTS and u should be able to drag out LP for a while longer on all your lifts, im the same build as you and i hope to hold out a couple more months on LP and oh by the way, go eat something...right now.

Yes, they will help with weight gain or maybe fat gain. You can't lie to your body. Shit in. Shit out.Originally Posted by pumped2112

I was about to stall at around this same weight...then I started doing the valsava for the entire 5 reps; that helped a lot. It was tough, but I became used to it. Later, about 305, I was not able to keep it for the entire 5 reps anymore.

Plan to fail and you will fail.
Expect more from yourself.

Well in that light.
There are many things you can do: increase caloric intake, use belt, perfect form, refocus valsava, refocus stretch-reflex, rest more between sets, use micro-weights, use weightlifting gear, etc. Heck I even split my daily workout into AM/PM and that continued the linear progression.
You probably have done some or many of these, maybe you will think of something you missed.
