are there any other beginner programs out there that will specifically boost my bench? Or should I continue SL?

Bentley Nguyen
save it friend, it's all yours.
Eli Gonzalez
Just do the damn program you bumblefuck
Gabriel Carter
Just add assist lifts for your chest-desu Shoulders are also a plus, when my shoulder lifts go up in weight so does my bench and vice versa
Thomas Bailey
My second question was going to be what should I do today and tomorrow as I wait for next week to roll around- because I don't want to start up a program midweek
Jack Hughes
never ever write numbers without the bar
do some cardio or bw shit or whatever
Aiden Martinez
What's the point in counting bar weight? I never understood that. But okay I'll take your advice senpai
Thomas Rodriguez
>the bar is weightless are you literally retarded?
Anthony Ross
Tell me why does he hide behind the corn?
Alexander Williams
subtle but you got plenty of (You)'s 7/10 solid effort
Jeremiah Clark
Probably because you're lifting the bar with the plates, so you're lifting the weight of the plates AND the bar.
Chase Flores
his point was there isn't really a point to yourself because if all your numbers are 45lbs less it really doesn't matter since you are still lifting the same weight
the only problem is if you use different weight bars
Noah Bailey
Thank you.
What would you say, switch programs or go back to normal SL.
Adam Johnson
matters on your lifts if you are still a beginner stick with SL if you think you are an intermediate feel free to switch
Ian Wood
that's true, but when you write the weight without the bar you will either confuse people thinking you lift 20 kg less or you have to state it's without the bar every time. what's more practical?
Gabriel Harris
I understand and I include the bar. I was just explaining his point since you guys didn't seem to understand
Andrew Ramirez
Was the whole point of this thread to try to start a "do you count the bar" debate?

Those are bananas, you degenerate
Luke Young
okay- so, 150 (bar included)- I think that's still beginner tier right?

>they don't measure the weight of their bones and flesh and account for it >they don't calculate the variations in gravitational weight variance depending on closeness of moon and other planets >they don't factor in wind resistance measured in weight units >they don't even consider the weight of their clothes and the compounding weighting factors of having fabric resistance on your muscles >they don't even take the time to have their muscles and ligaments surgically measured for mechanical deformative characteristics and elastical distortion then applied in a normative function algorithm to all the weight lifted then averaged over the distance of each possible movement and charted for distance-reliant variance based on vertically increasing load resistance

Are you plebs living in the Paleolithic era?
Why not just pick up a few pebbles throughout each day then estimate your total weight lifted at the end of the year based on hand calluses? Why not measure your bodies gains through bi-annual water displacement observations?
I'm turning my head disapprovingly side to side, to be candidly truthful, my familial relations

I also started doing SL recently What should I do with my lifts if I like missed a day or two in my program? should I still lift the recommended weight or skipped to next week's weights?
Julian Long
You haven't read rippedtoes program have you?
Missing a day means the next day is a "double-half" day.
The day after you missed, you lift in the morning AND the evening and every weight is doubled and you lift twice as fast as normal.
You also eat only half as much as normal and drink half your normal water, double soda.
