I love seeing these stories from other people doing the program who are at a very similar point as me. Gives me motivation to know that I'm on the right track and just need to keep putting in the time and making the numbers go up... even on the days when it's more of a grind.
awesome man! i am just like this guy, 36, same starting weights, same ending weights, minus the 3 plate DL. tho my progress has taken me 1 year, vs months.... man i wish i had a SS gym near me.
I was just curious when Brent Carter says "numbers went from x to y," you know that first number, "x," was that a real 5 rep max? The thing is, the squat chapter of the book says: "The general plan is to do a couple more sets of five reps with the empty bar to nail down the form, and then add weight, do another set of five, and keep increasing in even increments until the next increase would compromise the form."
A lot of people talk shit online saying this program doesn’t work Bc you gain too much body fat but dude I’ll take the 13 lbs of muscle and strip the 4lbs of fat off later

You must not have been on a proper novice LP program.
Impressive calves from the coach.

Rate of change my friends. Rate of change. Well done 👍🏾
@Starting Strength: Any plans of branching out abroad? Like coming to India?
Things are ripe for expansion here, I think...
He's doing high bar. YNDTP
I find his three plates deadlift fine. Not wonderful, but fine.
What am I missing?
It is fine. People are just being smart asses. If he keeps it up he will be >405 this time next year.
Well he is a long legged guy so his deadlift should be a little different, but his hips don't look out enough to me
Its pretty good. Maybe drop in a bit more.

Bench press- official workout of Monday. More misinformation in nutrition. Fitness close #2.
