[NickR33]

haha he looks so uncomfortable... trying to be a gentleman, poor bloke

[TTT]

Or via pm like everyone else uses on sau

Stoked, got my 102.5kg x3 bench out last night!!!

Week 7 here I come.

Tried doing some paused reps on 90kg and wow that makes it about fifty times harder. No way would I get 102.5kg out without utilizing the stretch-shorten cycle.

[NickR33]

the pause does get easier the more you practice it... just have to concentrate on keeping tension

[Trozzle]

the pause does get easier the more you practice it... just have to concentrate on keeping tension

That's what I've found when I've dicked around with the pause. You habitually allow too many muscles to relax when you pause, as your mind wants to use it as a chance to rest....when in reality you want the exact opposite! Keep those muscles tensioned haha

[Mitcho_7]

The reality is though, I'm not a competing lifter so the pause isn't a big thing. As long as I'm not bouncing the bar off my chest, just lowering and pressing in a controlled manner that's all that I care about.

[-FIGJAM-]

well I just reread the SS workout routine and realised I have been doing it wrong....

2x warm up sets then 5x working sets....

[TTT]

SS as in starting strength?

SS is 3 sets of 5 reps for working sets for sq, bench, OH press

Deads is 1 set of 5 reps

Power cleans are 5 sets of 3 reps.

There are no 5 working sets apart from the power cleans.

and warms ups is a personal thing... if I only did 2 warm up sets and got straight in to the work sets, I'd break more frequently than I do now.

[-FIGJAM-]

SS as in starting strength by Mehdi

think the program has changed slightly but I could very well be wrong.

Workout A:

Squat

Bench

Barbell Rows (I don't do these, I do seated cable. Reason is I get heaps of pain in my wrist joints from it)

Workout B:

Squat

Overhead Press

Deadlifts

Straight from his book that he sends to everyone:

"You'll do 5 sets of 5 reps (5x5) with the same weight on every exercise after you've done

your warm-up sets. There's 1 exception, Deadlifts, where you'll only do 1 set of 5. Here's

why: 5x5 or even 3x5 Deadlifts would mess with your recovery and cause stalling because

you're already doing 5x5 Squats 3x/week. I urge you to stick with 1x5 Deadlifts."

"Never jump straight into your work weight, warm-up first. As an example, let's say your

work weight for the Squat is 135lbs. Then here's how your training would look like...

• 2×5 45lbs => 2 sets of 5 reps with the empty Olympic bar

• 3 x 90lbs => 1 set of 3 reps with the 45lbs bar + 22.5lbs/side

• 5 x 135lbs => first set of 5 reps with your work weight

• 5 x 135lbs => 2nd set of 5 reps with your work weight

• 5 x 135lbs => 3rd set of 5 reps with your work weight

• 5 x 135lbs => 4th set of 5 reps with your work weight

• 5 x 135lbs => 5th and final set of 5 reps with your work weight"

"Notice that on the Deadlift you only do 1 set of 5 reps, not 5x5 or 3x5 because that could

cause stalling when combined with 5x5 Squatting 3x/week. So let's say your work weight

on the Deadlift is 225lbs, here's then how it would look like:

• 5x 135lbs => 1 set of 5 reps, 1st warm-up set

• 5x 175lbs => 1 set of 5 reps, 2nd warm-up set

• 5x 225lbs => 5 reps with 225lbs, your work set"

No mention of power cleans

If you want to read the entire book that he sends

http://s3.stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-report.pdf

there it is.

[TTT]

Mehdi = Strong Lifts

Rippetoe = Starting Strength

I don't really care for Mehdi but anyway... 5x5 of compound lifts is all kinds of good.

[-FIGJAM-]

dont i feel silly.....

which is the better program for a beginner in strength and a beginner in working out in general?

[TTT]

Squats is the better program.

[TTT]

Rippetoe has a 300 page book describing squats, bench, deadlift, OH press and power cleans.

lol

seriously, both make you squat 3 times a week.

one says do 3 sets of 5, the other says 5 sets of 5.

do what you want.

as long as its squats

[-FIGJAM-]

haha 3 sets sounds better then 5
