Its awesome to see more people focusing on the big lifts.
My personal best for squat was 100kg on 5x5, but I've gone down hill since then due to illness and really bad diet because of busy days at uni. That was months ago - I'm now down to 65kg squat and I've lost around 10kg in body weight. So I'm back to aiming for 100kg again. I just got back into it, hopefully I can regain all that lost weight quickly.

Just stumbled upon this thread.. started deadlifting to aid my bulking. its my favourite lift by far, it gets you fucked up. Whats even better is pushing out hyper extensions after the deadlift.

I've been doing Rippetoes for about 8 weeks now.

I missed a lot of the noob gains due to shitty diet. But I'm on track now and gained 5kg.

I was 63kg. Now 68kg but still quite thin. Still no where near the size I want.

Bench: 5RM=42.5kg
Dead: 5RM=80kg
Squat: 5RM=72.5kg
Press: 5RM=35kg
Row: 5RM=37.5kg

Still lifting light but its a big improvement on starting at around 10kg on each lift.

Shoutout to the misc brahs on BOS as well xD

i don't really do deadlifts but i would suggest that you apply the 1RM principle to your deadlifting. 1RM is your one rep maximum, i.e. the weight you can only do once.

once you've found out what that is there are three different approaches you can take to specialise outcome.

firstly and most applicably, use about 80-90% of your 1RM (and try to do about 4-5). this style of rep system tears more of your muscle fibres at once, so its better for gaining strength.

using slightly less percentage of your 1RM and trying to do about 10-12 is better for muscle growth.

and again using less percentage and doing upwards of 20 reps is good for muscular endurance.

so basically the first style is the go for really trying to build strength in your targeted areas.

Agree regarding the 4-5 rep method, it seems to produce the most neural strength gains in my experience.

Nah, I don't train full on WB with ME/DE days. Its just seems too advanced for me (I am only 20 with relatively weak lifts). I just think their logo and the lifters they put out are pretty cool :D

I train with low-reps/singles on the deadlift mostly, coupled with deficit DL's and I also alternate DL's with GM's every week.

IMO, anyone who doesn't have like, a 1.25x bench, 1.5x squat and 1.75x deadlift (approximately) should do Starting Strength... it's perfectly planned out to make the most of noob gains and you're really missing out if you don't.

yeah for sure, all my mates are puzzled/wtf at the fact that im doing this routine instead of going straight to Hypertrophy training etc etc.

you need to build a solid base first.

Personally I think hypertrophy is for insecure losers, but yeah, just generally... If you're not doing SS you're an idiot.

I don't get the difference between 'hypertrophy' and 'strength training'

It's not like anyone who can bench press 200kg is going to be small.

He's probably talking about people who do fifty sets of curls in one session and not much else etc.
