What was your weight before/after SS, as well as your lifts?
SS is very squat heavy and will turn anyone into J-Lo, which most people don't desire.. So perhaps consider this a learning experience as to maybe examine/question any program and if it suits your goals. Squatting 3x a week is definitely not one of mine or any of my male training partners lol. On the bright side, now you can work harder on your upper body to catch up to your mammoth butt ;- )
