Member 5399, 19 posts | Post Edited: 21.06.2014 @ 16:21 PM by alan1980wilson Im running with this programme for the foreseeable future, just coming of the back of ten months chemo and this seemed the perfect programme to go for, must admit its hard knowing what i could lift, and what im capable of know. Started of with just the bar on all lifts, except pull ups and dips Anyone else run this training routine to good effect? this is also the first time ive focused on more powerlifting work, rather than Bodybuilding splits.

Member 5382, 57 posts SQ 192.5, BP 87.5, DL 182.5462.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | I ran the program for about 2 years (because of injuries and stupid s**t like that) Sqaut went from 20-170 bench was always horrible 20-70~ Deadlift 60-170 B.W 55 18%- 70 16% as long as you will eat like a man and keep your form as good as possible and won't do dumb things you will grow and get strong. Good luck ! | ||

Member 5399, 19 posts | Well im an experienced lifter, but changing to powerlifting is alien to me if im honest But it seems to be ideal to stand me in good stead moving forward. Ive got to take baby steps with it if im honest But im hopeful I'll get to lift some credible numbers again in time | ||

Member 4496, 1446 posts SQ 240, BP 200, DL 300740.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | I made some great progress off starting strength and wished i had moved on to madcows and advanced 5x5. Keep thinking of going back to advanced 5x5 but not sure it would be effective at thi stage. Progress slowed alot after stopping starting strength. | ||

 Member 3714, 637 posts SQ 265, BP 177.5, DL 265707.5 kgs @ 97kgs Eq | I have the book and it makes a lot of sense for new lifters. Not so sure I'm not a little too experienced for it now though. | ||

Member 5399, 19 posts | I got the book as pure reading material whilst i was away from training. So seeing as i was starting from scratch it looked ideal for me. | ||

Member 2407, 219 posts | Lots of guys have gone back to basics with SS and had good results. His practical Programming book for the next step is also a good read. | ||
