For those of you who started lifting with starting strength:

When did you realise you should change your program and what did you change it to?

When I stopped progressing

To a custom routine, upper / lower body split. Four different workouts a week, each starting with either bench, press, deadlift or squat

i think i need to switch because most of my lifts stopped progressing, but everytime I DL I can add another 2.5kg to it. But it just doesnt feel like I'm really getting anywhere the way it was meant to be with SS.

after maybe a year. changed it to a simple 3 x 12 program i designed. was tired of looking like i didn't go to the gym, but being able to squat 120kg at 16 years old was kinda cool.

Honestly I always scratch my head when I see new guys at the gym trying to start a shitty hypertrophy program when they barely bench like 30 lb

I didn't start with SS.

I started with 5x5.

I did 5x5 for a year, stopped seeing noticable gains...switched to a bro-split.....didnt see any gains from that at all.

Now im in Year 4 of lifting and I just do upper/lower because nothing else seems to work.

Blasting 1 or 2 muscle groups per session once or twice a week just didnt work for me. (brosplits and pplxppl)

1 month in once I realized I wasn't getting tired from the workouts. I learned form and how to make a habit, but from there I built one customised to my goals.

same here. did it for a month religiously, made a few gains, but I dont give a fuck about strength I just want to lose weight right now tbh so I switched to a 4 days ppl f f= full body that's much more intense.
I got it from an anon in a routine thread, ill probably make a few changes whenever im ready.

feels good breaking a sweat and getting sore again.

here's my sitch: i wanna do something else, but i really like starting strength

as in: i reall enjoy doing the exercises like squats and deadlifts and I want my new program to be centred around those

is there a way to have a 4 day split that still has a lot of focus on those exercises?

What, was adding 15-30lbs to your squat every week too easy for you?

Some people don't have the knee or back ability to add 15-30 lbs on their squat.

The progress is so rapid that you start with little strain and end with too much resistance too fast. Phraks greyskull and Canditos program handle this better

Rip is the only person in the beginner programmers circle that have lost a grasp on what 'novice' means.

Get your shit together, SS is a great program developed by someone who has spent years of his life to this area, not by some NEET who has been going a couple months to the gym, if you want to lose weight and look good, fix your diet, dont shit on the program fam

This is exactly what I do. Push pull on the upper body days, two push two pull.

Did not feel fullfilled after a workout, I started to go to the gym 5 days/week and is now following a completely different program, feels better tbh.

I think it's due to genetics though I have always been pretty strong, just out of shape for a few years, I think SS is good for starting off, I ran with it for 2 and a half months.
