How the fuck am I supposed to add weight every 1 or two workouts on SS? I started with the most weight I could do for 5-6 reps, next workout I add 5 lbs. I fail at 3.

this happened when you first started? if so then you successfully are immune to beginner gains.

You're not supposed to start with your absolute 5RM. Start with a weight that you could do 7-8 reps with and move up from there

Read the program. You start with the bar. You don't grow by pushing to failure constantly, that's how you get fatigued and burn out after a week. You should have 3 reps left in the tank after the first set, 2 after the second, and 1 after the third set with 3-5 minute rests between each set.

Good job, you already fucked up from the very beginning. Read the book and try again retard. Or just google "how much weight to start with Starting Strength". You're not going to make it regardless.

That's Stronglifts, not Starting Strength. Don't comment if you're a brainlet.

>Obviously combinationation of nature vs nurture. Genetic determines ceiling / asymptote but training required to get there. Genetic plays a role in how well you train, how long you train, how consistent you train. Greg doesn't state it explicitly, but there are huge genetic components to personality factors such as work ethic (~50% from memory). Greg: People who think genetics don't play a role are "crazy".
>No correlation between starting point and how well one responds to training (and presumably ceiling). People who start strong can be poor responders to (proper) training. People who start weak can be strong responders.
>Summary of a study on how long it takes to reach athletic mastery, more technical strength sports require more training to reach mastery (duh).
>gymnastics (high technique requirement + strength base): 8000-9000 hours
>sprinting (moderate technique requirement + strength bas): 2000-4000 hours
>powerlifting (potato technique requirement + strength base): likely less than 2000-4000 hours
>Bummer Greg: if you've been training really hard for 3-4 years (~10 hour weeks) and you're not very good, you probably won't ever be that good. Welled trained individuals realize 95% of their gains in 5-7 years, emphasis on WELL TRAINED.
>There are TRUE non responders to training, probably not the 15-20% of population quoted in studies (who are likely non responders to particular styles of training). Greg estimates out of the several hundred people he trained 1-2 were true non responders. He elaborates on how one kid failed to respond to everything despite being passionate and having food and recovery taken care of. We're not all gonna make it brah.)
>Typically individuals will build 10-20kg muscle throughout training career. Rate exponentially decay.

Read the book retard. SS doesn't say start with absolute 5RM
Tyler Turner
>You start with the bar.
Wrong program idiot.
>3-5 minute rests between each set.
Hate to break it to you but Uncle Mark recommends resting as long as possible.

I didn't say it did, faggot.
The book sure as fuck doesn't say "start with the bar." I know what the book says. I own the book and have read the book. How about you read the book, dipshit?
>protip: it doesn't say what you think it does
James Reed
SS does not say start with the bar, it tells you to start at a weight that causes a decrease in barspeed
lmao telling people to read the book, having not read the book yourself
Ryan Torres
what is the percentage of gains they get in their first year or two?
also what does non responder mean exactly?is there's a very low ceiling to how much they can gain over time, that they get very small gains from week to week from progressive overload? how is that possible? shouldn't the body build muscles over time through tear/repair provided they're on a good program/diet? is there something specific to their body that suppresses this?
Jordan Carter
i'm extremely skeptical that you can have a normally functioning human, that when fed properly and put through a training regimen, can achieve exactly 0 muscle gains.
Kayden Richardson
>The book sure as fuck doesn't say "start with the bar
That's literally what the book says and how SSC's actively preach to find your starting workset weight. You didn't read the book
Thomas Evans
Where did I say start with bar? I said don't start with an absolute 5RM
Nathaniel Russell
right here
Caleb Ward
That's not my post buddy. And what that user is saying is to start with the bar and work your way up to find your *correct* workset weight
Ethan Foster
Eat more OP, you have to if you're doing SS or else don't bother.
Kevin Ross
no, that's not what he's saying, that's your brainlet interpretation of what he's saying
he said
>You start with the bar.
not
>You start with the bar and work your way up in weight until bar speed decreases, this is your first 3x5 working weight
Joseph Williams
Lmao read the post again.
>You should have 3 reps left in the tank after the first set, 2 after the second, and 1 after the third set with 3-5 minute rests between each set

Bout to start that one myself. I plan on doing it with added calf stuff, should I add bicep shit or is the program good without it?

Too long, did not read

Jeremiah Roberts
The only thing wrong is the rest periods. Jordan figenbaum and Baraki themselves say that each workset shouldn't be a complete 5RM until the late stages of the program
Kayden Williams
Which bro split?
Colton Gutierrez
Posy body, T-Rex mode faggot. Your legs are bigger than your torso. You're so hideous that you have an even lower chance of losing your virginity now than you did before you starting lifting. Just end your life already.
