Since there is no conatinment thread for this, let's make a thread.
My question: Just started SS, I should be progressing by 2.5kg every session on some of my lifts, however my gym only has 5kg plates and up in barbell section of the gym. This makes the smallest increase of 10kg.
It prevents me from following the program as intended. Should I increase by 10kg every 4 sessions and do 1 and 2 reps more on 2nd and 3rd session respectively?
Because jogging slowly on a treadmill feels terrible.

What kind of shitty gym doesnt have 2.5 AND 1.25kg plates?
I would honestly buy my own and bring them
Samuel Nelson
They do have them but they are in the further section where all the benches are.
Plus the bars are a bit different, the ones in squat/deadlift section have grooves on the bar ends, plates are solid rubber and have different locking system than the ones in benches - those are regular smooth bars with iron plates and spring locks.

HIIT is working out to elevate your heart rate as high it'll go, then resting until it comes down to normal, then repeating.
Asher Barnes
What are some foods high in carbs? I'm trying to bulk up and get those noon gains with SS but, I don't know my foods too well. Any suggestions?
Dylan Sanchez
Have you tried increasing the weight by 10kg? I assume that you have and that you were unable to finish your last two sets with 5 reps. If that's the case, you can do your current weight at the current set:reps, but do as many as reps as you can on the last set.
If you find yourself unable to move the 10kg addition at all, you can either buy your own plates to bring (they're pretty inexpensive as far as weights go), go to another gym, or do accessory work in order to strengthen your facilitating muscles. I'd probably just buy my own plates.

Bread, pasta, potatoes.
Julian Bennett
Buy your own plates and bring them. They're pretty cheap, you can get them for like $5
Cameron Butler
I am 133 at 5'7". Bulk or cut? Pretty skinnyfat pham
Colton Bennett
Do you have anything that would pop out after the cut? If no then bulk.
James Ross
I would also bulk. I am 5'7" and that's what I did atleast.
Zachary Ward
More like sprint/run
Austin Foster
You know those guys in progress threads who used to be obese & are now skinny but with super loose skins & a fuck ton of old & faded stretch marks? Can they get fresh purple stretch marks from lifting/bulking?
Michael Parker
If I do 10 reps of +25kg dips (at 90kg bw) with ease, but find it hard to go above 80kg in a bench press for 8 reps, does it mean my bench badly lags behind?
Cooper Phillips
Having a hard time getting motivated to wake up at 430 and lift at 5. Lifting alone sucks. How do I deal with this fit? I need motivation. How do you guys do it?
Nicholas Ward
so walk over and rack the small plates. I always went up by 5kg on diddlies and skwatz, although as you go higher expect less returns on investment
oats. >tfw the Veeky Forums adage of squats and oats has been lost to the annals of time
Ian Reed
Is it possible for you to lift in afternoon?
Grayson Hall
No. I work all day and coach a sport all afternoon
Aaron Jones
What is this thing? I was told it was for situps but I just don't see how. Any ideas on how to use it or what the name is?
Ethan Evans
How far am i supposed to close this?
Wyatt Allen
I haven't been to the gym in 12 days because stupid shit. Should I attempt to go for my usual weight or lower it?
Colton Myers
Until they touch tips (no homo). That's as far as they can go. You can try to go for your usual weight, but it's unlikely that you would be just as strong as you were 12 days ago.
