I've been fairly regular w/ my starting strength workouts, and am still experiencing linear gains (w00t). However, I find myself gaining a fair bit of weight: I started at 175 back in April, but have just hit 190! Not sure how I feel about this; guess I'll try to cut it down once my linear gains are exhausted.
My lifts are now:
295 squat 3x5
210 bench 3x5
295 deadlift 1x5 (I reset it to work on form, can probably do 10-20lbs more)
125 press 3x5.
Edit: also, f'ing pants won't fit.
good stuff man, i need to get my squat and bench on your level.
ReplyDeleteCongrats that's some legit mass to be moving around. I imagine down the road you can shed some bodyweight without losing too much strength. Have you been eating a shitload of food/drinking assloads of milk?
ReplyDeleteYeah eating a ton is sort of the norm for me, and I used SS as an excuse to stop watching what I eat as long as enough protein is consumed...maybe that's a bad idea. It also doesn't help that lunch is free at work, and it's buffet style.
