When should i move onto madcow?

[Marvin1993]

hey all i am currently stalled on 3x5 and i was wondering if my lifts are adequate enough to move onto an intermediate program? or would i make faster gains sticking to 3x5? i dont know at what weight the average lifter moves onto intermediate programs. my 5 rep maxes are

squat 275lbs x5
Bench 200lbs x5
ohp 135 lbs x5
dl 280 lbs x5 thats my 5rm after doing squats i bet it is higher than that.

Have you added a light squat day on Wednesday's yet? How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

[Marvin1993]

im 5'8 dont know my weight im guessing about 180 lbs

Light squats and deadlifts on Wednesday, 3x5 Monday and Friday, you have some more easy gains available.

Cow1: are you worried about this mad-cow disease?
Cow2: nope, I'M A HELICOPTER

[Joe Tandy]

On a serious note;
1) how long have you been on SS
2) how much weight have you gained
3) are you drinking milk? How much?

Any injuries or confounding factors like holidays etc?

i started this in january i have not had injuries i recently had a huge jump i used to stall at 235 lbs and i made it to 275lbs 3x5 i squat ATG. im really hoping this new scale is wrong. i dont believe ive gone from 165 lbs to 210 lbs.

Cut your depth off, post a form check in a week or so.
If you can give me reason for squat technique that slackens most of the musculature involved, continue on.

Also, assuming you started with an empty bar... You've added less than 5lbs a week to your squat/DL on average.
Why?
