Stronglifts

**soziblewuup** · 13-06-2010 02:01 AM

Completed 3 months of stronglifts, and was wandering if it's worth switching up the routine a little to try get better results. As i understand the longer your doing the same routine, your gains tend to dry up, and i think as of late they have been.

Any words of advice ? Thanks

Personally I would just follow the routine to the letter, and stick with it until you stall out twice or reached 1.5x BW on squats. What are your lifts like at the moment, and have you done any deloads?

Thanks for the reply mate.

Squat 75 kg
Bench 65 kg
Deadlift 75 kg

I've come quite a way since i started, so i'm quite happy with my results

. I'm 17 so i think i i stick with training for a while, they could vastly improve.

With your squat and deads so close to your bench I would imagine stronglifts has alot more to offer before its no good.

agreed with ben really just stick at it
if you get bored as i did after about a month an a half just mix some other training in, maybe some hypertrophy maybe some endurance maybe a different body split, just for a couple of weeks you may loose a bit of strength (it will be minimal or you may not loose any atall) but then when you come back to stronglifts you will have a renewed drive for it. I appreciate this isnt the way its supposed to be done but its has worked for me - i do have a horribly short attention span for anything though

I guess you could stick with strong lifts until you start hitting the following:-

bench = pressing bodyweight
squat = pressing 1/5 times bodyweight
deadlift = pressing 1.5-2 times your bodyweight

That is the point where you have very decent strength figures.

need to add 5kg to the bench, 50kg to the squat and 10kg to the deadlift then..woop

as said before, if you're bench is close to your other lifts you have a while to go yet

Whats your bodyweight mate?

3 months isn't that long, you could squeeze a lot more out of the programme.

I have used 5x5 to get to where I am. bench is just under 1 x body weight. squat 1.5 and deadlift just over 1.5

Hi guys sorry for the extremely late reply, exams and that

.

Ye i think i'll stick with it:
I'm 11 Stone exactly now
and my stats have changed a little, my squat is now Squat 85 kg.
I'm only a small lad and starting 4 months ago i had no muscle at all, so i'm happy with my progress.
Only problem at the moment is trying to lose a little belly fat. It's hardly anything and isn't noticeable until the top comes off lol. With the summer here and party's, it doesn't look like it's going to happen haha.
