The purpose of Starting Strength is to develop a good strength base. Once you have a strength base, you can move onto intermediate routines or hypertrophy or whatever.
So what's a good strength base? How do you know when you're ready to move forward?

1/2/3/4
By that standard, 90% of this board doesn't have a good strength base.
The answer varies completely depending on your sex, height, weight, etc
correct
Newfag here what is this?
lurk more faggot
I don't think you should ever stop 3x5 linear progression on your compounds (squat, dead, bench, OHP).
But, after a while you can increase your volume and add more assistance exercises.
I'd say a good strength base is at least a 1pl8 OHP, at least a 2pl8 bench. A 3pl8 squat and 4pl8 dead is debatable. 99% of people in the gym won't be squatting 3pl8s to parallel or deadlifting 4pl8
135lbs OHP
220lbs bench
315lbs squat
405lbs deadlift
stop spoonfeeding newfaggots, faggot
>220
wrong
Who the fuck actually hits 1/2/3/4 on full body MWF?
I hit 65/90/105/135 and stalled out
Please tell me those are kilograms.
well shit. I'm only half way there.
So cringe
So reddit
kill yourself faggot
fuck off
no you fuck off you cancerous faggot. your why this board is shit
Kek
Fuck off
Mfw 90/205/225/315
my OHP is the only thing remotely even close
everything else stalled way below that
kill me
pffft hahaha
which is of course, an unbalanced physique with arbitrary numbers that heavily favors legs.
just keep lifting and doing your best and stop thinking about stupid numbers. odds are that by the time you get one of these, your other lifts won't be as strong
How. My ohp is the only thing I can't seem to progress on
Ikr. Kill me now
The purpose of SS is to start doing basic strength based exercises for people interested in purely strength gains
If you want endurance, you dont do SS
If you want mass, you dont do SS
Fuck this SS meme of a 'starting base' its a complete fucking lie.
First post worst post
t. weakfag
>I don't think you should ever stop 3x5 linear progression on your compounds (squat, dead, bench, OHP).
it stops working eventually, thats why advanced programs arent simply linear progression 3x5
>t. been lifting for two weeks
>How do you know when you're ready to move forward?
assuming you have ZERO experience with lifting weights and choose starting strength as the program you begin lifting weights with, then 3-6 months AFTER YOU START STARTING STRENGTH, you're ready to move forward.
listen to this guy, OP
Check the exrx strength standards
Don't listen to this retard. You are done with ss after linear progression is over. That happens when you can't add weight every day at the squat and have already done the deloads that ARE EXPLAINED IN THE BOOK, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.
Right there with you bro
I'm ready to die now
1/2/3/4/
>stopping SS for any reason other than having advanced beyond workout-to-workout progression
>using 1/2/3/4 as a strength standard rather than wilks to try hide the fact that you're a fat faggot
is 170x3 a bad, decent, or good bench
t. someone who realizes that doing nothing but fucking bench will give you a shit tier chest
if kilograms - good
if pounds - kys
its grams
I did.
People seem to think 3x5 is the only way to train. Guys, you need to do volume. Over the next 3 months, I challenge you DYEL to do 500 reps of any lift (Squat, bench, deadlift, ohp or wherever the fuck you stall or wanna be better). Ill guarantee you youll get stronger. I dont care what percentage you use (70, 85, 90 whatever). Get your reps done, eat and sleep like a saiyan and the results will come.
Also ffs, dont do SS. Its utter shite for power powerlifting and BB
Quite reasonable desu 80% doesn't even lift
Strength base is a meme that only exists on Veeky Forums
This. Just get bigger and the strong part will take care of itself
Get stronger and the big part will take care of itself.
>Not doing both
Do 3 weeks of low rep, then 3 weeks of high rep
Why just do one style? We know empirically no matter who you are or what level you are at a variety of exercises and volume is fantastic for any type of gains.
Pure autism
Variety is not even needed. Volume is all theat is needed, but otherwise agree
>the posters giving advice in this thread are the same posters claiming 700 Lb squats
>not knowing what a novice is
>follow x for y months
>hit x number
>not knowing basic concepts of programming
Fuck SS

Mass is gained by hypertrophy. You tear muscle by control not by ego lifting.
for 5 reps
is 170 lbs x 3 on bench good?
In comparison to what? A forklift?
Who cares user do YOU think its good?
That's why you do accessories with SS, you dyel
Ohp .75 bw
Bench 1.25 bw
Squat 1.5 bw
DL 2 bw
OHP - your gf's weight
BP - your dad's weight
Squat - your bw+your gf's bw
Deadlift - twice your bw
This is actually pretty appropriate. 175 lbs. here and can 1/2/3/3.5.
yikes
