If your goal is strength, I would personally go for a program that has a book(s) to go with it. When you can no longer progress at 1x5, you move on.Īs far as what to do next, that really depends on your goals. When I say stall, I mean the kinds of stalls that occur even though your sleep and form are perfect and you are eating sufficiently. Well, according to the program, you taper your sets down to 3x5 after your first big stall and then to 1x5 after the next. I guess in my case I fell within his range. I just don't think a certain number is required to switch. The program itself is good and I enjoyed it. I was tired of reading about what everyone told me to do and I just did what I wanted to do.Įdit: Should clarify that I'm mostly talking about what he says "should be" target numbers. uh, I was already eating 4k calories a day and the weight on the bar wasn't budging.
I remember posting up my issues with SL a long time ago, and people just said "eat more and rest more". You don't need to hit a specific number or anything. My philosophy is to switch when it isn't working for you anymore. So, IMO, it makes it really hard for newbies to know exactly "when" to switch your program. It's a slow progression, but my body stalled out sort of early on linear progression. Been eating at a surplus and doing Madcow, my lifts are going up again finally. I wasn't progressing past those numbers, so I decided to switch it up. I switched over to Madcow after only reaching a 225 squat, a 145 bench, and a 250 deadlift. I get what he's saying, but not everyone is the same.
