    If you're not doing SS, why did you title your thread "First time trying SS"?

    What's bothering you? The CG's? The DL single? The chins alternating rows? Is it really that different

    The deadlift single is way out there...

    I should probably mention I had been using 5-3-1 for the past year or so for my squats and deads and worked up to a 365 lb DL for 2 reps. Best squat was 315x 5 in August, and 315x 4 last week. I sprained my ankle badly at the end of August and lost a lot of the momentum I had built up the past year, and figured I'd give SS a try. If it is not following it exactly, I apologize, but I think the idea of building strength and muscle with sets of 5 is what I'm after. My WO's have always focused on the same lifts for the most part.
