    2.5kg steps on the press at 60kg is ambitious. It's probably your best lift. Have you considered microloading?

    I'm actually thinking of starting to do that after I hit 60 kilos. And I allways thought my shoulders were the weakest part. Unfortunately, I think my weakest part is... legs.

    Squats:
    20*5*2
    40*4
    60*3
    80*2
    100*5*3
    Deloaded on the squats. This time I tried doing something that should have resembled an olympic squat. This means ATG and looking slightly up, pushing through the legs more. I should say this feels good. Will try to see where this goes as weight progresses.

    Bench:
    20*5
    60*3
    80*2
    90*5*3

    Deadlift:
    70*5
    100*3
    125*2
    147,5*5

    Romanian chair situps:
    +10kg 4*12

    From next week I'll try doing pullups on bench/deadlift days and dips on press/powerclean days.
    Another thing that bothers me is a pain I feel after pressing movements. It's where my triceps meets my elbow (I don't know if that's clear enough), anyone has an idea what that is?

    Did not post last workout, so here we have two of them, from Thursday and today:

    Squat:

    Thursday:
    20*5*2
    40*4
    60*3
    80*2
    102,5*5/4/4

    Today:
    20*5*2
    40*4
    60*3
    80*2
    90*2
    100*5
    90*5*2

    Bench (Thursday):
    20*5
    60*3
    80*2
    92*2/2

    Overhead press (Today):
    20*5
    40*3
    50*2
    60*4/3/3

    Deadlift (Thursday):
    70*5
    110*3
    130*2
    150*5

    Powerclean (Today):
    20*5
    30*3
    45*2
    57,5*3*5

    As you can see I am not making any progress on the squat. And overall, I feel like shit. I am definitely failing to recover. Because of this, I have decided to take a week off from the lifts, and just concentrate on swimming, cardio and stretching/flexibility work. Hope this helps. Over that time I'll think about what to do with my training. 99% that I will just continue with SS programme, but I'm starting to think about madcow 5*5, just because it allows more recovery (I think...).

    Hey,

    After my last attempt to train for strength, after I finished university, there was no consistent training. However, I got a gym membership ~half a year ago and started training again. For some time I just did random stuff, still squated and deadlifted. Now I decided to get more methodical in my training, so I restarted starting strength. Now I am 29 years old, still 183 cm tall and weigh ~80kg. So here are my first two training sessions:

    2018.01.23 ~1 hour of training

    Squat:20kg*10/60kg*5/80kg*3/90kg*5*3
    Bench: 20kg*10/30kg*5/40kg*3/50kg*2/60kg*5*3
    Deadlift: 60kg*10/80kg*5/100kg*3/110kg*2/120kg*5
    Pullups: -10kg (assisting machine) 10/8/5/5/5 (33 total)

    2018.01.25 ~1 hour of training

    Squat: 20kg*10/60kg*5/80kg*3/92,5kg*5*3
    OHP: 20kg*10/25kg*5/30kg*3/35kg*2/40kg*5*3
    Powerclean: 20kg*10/30kg*5/40kg*3/50kg*5*3
    Dips 10/10/10/8/5
