I wish that SS had been around when I was younger, when I could recover better. Now I have to settle for being “strong enough “, with my age, job, and family. Great content as always, Grant.
same, wasted my twenties and thirties
I have this same thought daily... what could have been 😭
There is a future for all of you!
I’m not giving up, just being realistic. Knowing that, at 62 with my job and family ( 13 grandkids) and schedule, I’m never going to get my numbers up to where some guys will. But that’s ok, I am still strong for my age group, and I might have to be satisfied with a 300 pound squat for reps, ( I’m 5’10” and 200 lbs). At a certain point in life, trying for PRs will get you more beat up than you want to be or even injured.
@@waynenoll1967 - Um, If you can squat 300 for a set of 5, wouldn't that be pretty darn close to an intermediate standard at any age not just at 62?
I’m thinking about starting restarting starting strength again
See you next Monday.
I want to know because I hope I can do nlp for as long as possible
That Squatz Tee really makes this video POP!
read my mind with this one, thanks.
I will call myself an intermediate when I'm lifting 150% my bodyweight.
I'm at 125% now and enjoying the weekly progress...
I feel like I am itermediate, yet I don't want to "do something cool". I like the simplicity of sticking to the basics. I've tried doing different routines, like MAPS Anobolic< and I find myself spending over an hour in the gym. I am 45 with a busy schedule so a 1 hour workout 3 days a week using basic compound exercises fits well with my schedule. What do you suggest for someone like me?
Madcow 5x5 or the texas method.
@@bigmitch7901 Agreed, good call. This is what I did. Forget all the maps anabolic stuff it's all fluff (name sounds cool though) BTW I'm 58 , the older I get, the better the shorter more intense workouts become, it's sort of easier as you get older.
@@cpw2k217 Yeah I looked at maps anabolic (you can find everything for free nowadays) and programs like that really don't appeal to me.
I like doing the basic barbell lifts and then add whatever extra I want to do. I run madcow 5x5 but I add 3 accessory lifts at the end of every workout. The workouts do take long but I really don't mind spending the time.
Also good to know it gets easier, I'm 22. You still smashing PR's?
great video!
My Lifts are 145 lb Press 260 lb Bench Press 315 lb Squat and a roughly 460 lb Deadlift at 185 lbs so am I an Intermediate yet? I also want to know what I should work on?
that's wild, from what I know you're definitely past intermediate. I matched you at basically everything except for deadlift (yours is about 90 pounds more than I've ever done) when I was at the tail end of stronglifts 5x5, and I was 215 pounds at the time (at a height of 6'5", maybe the math is similar). You can probably move on.
@@educationalporpoises9592 I'm 5'5" while weighing 185 lbs. Thinking about it now the only lift I'm not an intermediate on is the Deadlift since I never pushed the movement as hard as I could until I trained with a bodybuilder which was a mistake even though it was fun because I overdid for so long and pulled my left lat while trying to pull 475 lbs. When I pulled 445 lbs the form was a lot better than when I did it last year and I was convinced that I had at least another rep in me at that weight. Right now I think I can only train shoulders once or twice a week otherwise recovery becomes an issue.
What's the story about the bar in the back?
I've been sputtering out at around the same weight, off and on, for like 10 years. I'm just going to give an intermediate program a try, SS be damned.
My bench has kinda stalled after about 2 months at 135, but I’m thinking it may well be because I’m eating at maintenance instead of surplus so I’m gonna try eating like 400-500 surplus. I know the program calls for more but I’m not a skeleton I have very average body fat and I don’t wanna get much more fat
Intermediate training is harder, no-less boring, and with fewer PRs. If you're a novice, you're on the greenest grass.
Listen, your f'n done when Rip says you're done. Now do your 5's.
I heard that if you don’t do power cleans, then you’ll always be a novice because you didn’t do the program.
Currently my squat is 3,3,3,3 and then I managed to do 4,4,4,3 and then I add 2 kg and start again with 3,3,3,3. Am I advanced novice or early intermediate?
Think it's worth doing starting strength if I have 1 year lifting experience, and 6 months already doing linear programming with heavy compound movements?
If you can add weight to the bar session to session then you should
Sweet thank you!
Trying to come back from a fluid filled baker’s cyst with arthritic knee cap.Have to take weight off the squat bar, but still trying to pull, press and bench . Any suggestions for programming ?with that injury
I would see if you can tolerate deadlifts for a while. You're probably going to need to have it drained either way, but maybe the squats are exasperating it.
How do you control cat hair?
you dont
Wet it down
@@jeffreybabino8161 should I lather it too!? Because I will , I’m silly like that
I have the same problem with my hair
according to this video my genetics are fucked, im weak as shit - cant DL 135 (thats not a typo), im advanced while training for 6 months as i literally cannot add weight every tr session.. great stuff not gonna lie
That’s not impossible, but I’d ask the following questions before jumping to genetics as *the* limiting factor:
1) Injury history
2) Age
3) biological sex
4) bodyweight
5) how much protein per day
6) how many calories total per day
7) how many hours of sleep per night, and what’s the quality like?
8) what’s your technique look like? - you will probably need to post a video of it
9) are you *sure*, like “your answer wouldn’t change if your life depended on it sure”, that you couldn’t do 95 or 105 or 115 for 5, and add 5lbs a couple times a week until you’re repping 135+, by trying as hard as you possibly can? Are you *sure?*
If you have good answers to all of those questions, then maybe it really is just a bad hand genetically. But worth addressing each of those first!
Lift hard. Live easy.
I feel like the guy in the squat video could’ve pushed for a few more seconds…maybe fhave more seconds.
What if you're a Novice at Massenomics gym? 😅
is that even possible?
Do your sets of fahve people 💪
I falied bench at 58Kg and failed overhead press at 40KG
