    Default Merry vs Pippin - LP and your disposition for strength

    Merry ends his squat LP at 250 lbs. Pippin ends his squat LP at 200 lbs.
    Both train consistently, recover to their best abilities and are coached by a SSC with the goal of getting as strong as possible.

    Is it possible that Pippin’s squat ends up stronger than Merry’s after a year?

    In other words, are their people who get stronger on intermediate programming than others, even if the LP’s of the former ended sooner than the LP’s of the latter?
    (not taking into account special circumstances like going about touching palantíri and the like)

    Your question is too dependent on a number of factors that you do not posit. I would say that, absent differences in those factors, no. That's been my experience.

    Actually, the vast amount of my experience has been "Both Merry and Pippin fuck around with and fail to actually DO the NLP, take far too long to get to appreciable numbers, get bored and quit."

    But both merry and pippin will probably eat enough since they’re into second breakfast

    Anyone who trains before Elvensies is a deviant in my book.
