shit advice

don't worry about hitting arbitrary stats, just switch when you stop progressing

Finished with 162.5kg squat, 170kg dead, 72.5kg ohp, 120kg squat. I also added chins and dips as accessories.

Increase with 5kg until it became too much then 2.5kg per lift (as a total additional weight). If you're skinny eat like a pig (SRS), I finished with a relatively high bf of 25% so I cut for 12weeks before moving into TM.

If you're willing to ignore the mirror somewhat you will put on some serious fucking muscle and progression. But even if you want to maintain less bf, a little under my number's are not unremarkable.

Oh and it will get fucking tough, you will hate every single workout because of how hard it gets, but there is no faster way of getting strong this quickly without using SS/sl or similar.

I did this for a little under a year. I spent a lot of the starter months learning form and teaching myself the importance of calories.

>120 squat.

That is meant to say bench press. Sorry I'm baked.

Great progress mas, did you use triples or back off sets nearing the end of the program or did you just keep it basic?
Also can you post progress pics?

How do I stop pic related from happening to me?

Also,

I've been working out on and off with Jason Blaha's ICF, but I don't like it! Will I benefit from SS?

Yes, get on SS as soon as possible and read that book

For pic related just do SS + GOMAD

I used back off sets when I was cutting. When deciding to shed fat off at the end of the programme you want to keep the Weight on the bar as high as possible, reducing the volume a bit helps maintain that. When you refeed after your cut you'll be back to where you were in a couple of weeks. I probably couldve squeezed out more on triples but I needed a routine shakeup. Plus finally being able to add proper accessorie work through TM felt great.

I don't have any to hand.

wont i be too tired to do hip thrusts after doing it?

Eventually yes, but the first couple of weeks you can fuck around with other stuff, while you hopefully read the book

After cutting were you satisfied with how you looked ? Have you a photo of yourself at that time ? Or one of someone else with similar result ?

I know that this is strength training but I'm curious
