    strong lifts, sorry for being a dick in previous threads. seriously.

    you should probably just go intermediate, your lifts are already really high for novice progression.

    fuck, i wish i was that strong at 18.. or 19.. or when i turn 20.

    Stats have nothing to do with designating your lifting category. Correlation does not imply causation.

    (Although mad lifts brah.)

    Not sure if serious o.O

    Yeah I think I'm an intermediate, but I was wondering if there were people similar to me who were still on LP. Was hoping that if I ate, slept, supplemented, and trained perfect if I could make more LP progress, maybe even do the Advanced Novice SS program.

    Yeah, but generally there's a certain zone for everyone where they can no longer make daily, weekly, or monthly progress. So I was trying to see if maybe someone was still on LP with similar or stronger stats.

    You should be able to tell if you're a novice or intermediate. What are your squat bench and press #s for 3 sets?

    Stonerider is still on LP and he has a 365 bench. He's like 10 years older, not sure if that makes a difference.

    oh, and he's lean too. i'd ask him for tips!

    what's the staples of your diet? asking cause im a fatteh (well 5'10 and 198, so comparable to you, but my lifts are way less so im fatter)

    Beginning intermediate, like me. Don't get too cocky, or the weights will teach you a lesson. Prgress steadily and incrementally. Start ramping your sets if you haven't done so already. And add in light days. You are doing great.

    Probably intermediate, but I'd try SS for a short while if you haven't done it yet.

    How big is he though?

    Staples of my diet are fast food and milk. Seriously.

    Yeah that's what I figure.

    This is why I was asking, I have never done SS so I thought it might be possible to squeeze out some LP.
