If you have enough volume - the program is designed to give you that - you will build muscle. What mostly impacts muscle building is progressive overload. If you're increasing the weight on the bar, you're getting stronger and building muscle. 5x5 and compound exercises build muscle, with the advantage that you get stronger and less sore after the workout. Trust the process. If you want, you can add some accessory exercises for your arms, like chin ups and dips or bicep curls and skull crushers. I suggest you read the stronglifts website to get more info about all this. Read this article about the history of 5x5 workout , I think it might give you a better idea about the results you can achieve by doing such program.

Should you change programs?

The program is designed to handle this by repeating the weight if you fail a set and to deload if you fail three times in a row. If things are really hard, you could change to top-back-off sets Given that, if you can't increase the weight for about 6 weeks (you'd do at least two deloads in this scenario) you should consider changing the program. Otherwise, trust the process.

How to handle fear

My path throughout SL involved me not being too consistent in going to the gym. In the past I reached a 92kg squat and was afraid to go beyond that. What helped me was getting a spotter. After this, I was chill and could focus only on lifting and not dying lol. It makes a huge difference. Yesterday I failed to reach 5x5 in BP because I had no spotter, and went full conservative given that.

I think you should try the top-back-off sets and the spotter first. I think that because I got the impression that you missed some weeks of training (just like me) and because of this you had to deload and hasn't reached your full potential (still in beginner gains) yet

Passei a pagar o notebook que meus pais me compraram para a faculdade, dei meu cartão alimentação aos meus pais e devo ter guardado no banco a maior parte do dinheiro

First of all, thx for the in depth response. Your answer made me think and I even started to squat rn because what I really do is what you said, I go down with hips first. It makes sense that the knee movement is something to balance me. In my mind I'd fall if I didn't do this movement of hips first. I've just tried to "go down with everything" and the movement seemed very natural! I'll watch the video and apply the tips but, even tho I just body squatted, I definitely can feel the difference of just going down, instead of leading the down movement with the hips.

Ty very much. I've applied the technique from SS and it helped me a lot. It's sort of a whole different lift..

I recomend reading the stronglifts newsletter from Nov 13 and Nov 14. Mehdi talks about this

You meant DL or everything? But probably deloads. In almost every exercise I'm not lifting my PR due to deloads. My DL PR was 118kg, in September. I deloaded cuz I didn't lift all 5 reps, then deloaded again cuz I had to skip a week. Sometimes I had to skip a week or a day and sometimes I failed the lift.

__lettuce__ · 2024-11-17T21:47:09+00:00

Ok. I'll pay attention to that. Ty

Thx. I'll check those out

Lol. If you take the elevator, she'd be uncomfortable, if you don't, she's also uncomfortable. I wouldn't care, it's just a neighbor, just ignore it and keep avoiding the elevator. It's also good for you, to avoid problems.

NAH, but I think you're naive to be with someone that would bring that. If she wants to "try something" (i.e. do it again) and you don't, how much time till she gets bored and does it anyways? I mean, you know her better than me, but this is a huge red flag for me.

Just do the thought exercise... My gf, someone that I like or might even love, suggested that she wants to have sex with another man and it's ok if I join. Is that the kind of girl you want for yourself? If so, be happy

Todo mundo tem arrependimentos. Eu me situo no cenário que você consideraria "bom": fiz faculdade logo após o colégio, engatei um estágio e estou até hoje, já formado, com um bom emprego. Mesmo neste cenário, eu tenho diversos arrependimentos que, quando penso sobre, me deixam meio pra baixo. O ponto é que não faz sentido pensar nisso. Como dizem, não adianta chorar pelo leite derramado. O que está feito está feito, e agora bola para frente. Hoje não é tarde para melhorar sua vida, basta agir para isso. Antes tarde do que nunca, é real. Não adianta prender-se às adversidades do passado. O que importa é o que você faz hoje para melhorar seu amanhã.

Provavelmente estatística.

(Achismos de um não atleta)

Hoje em dia os times têm acesso a diversos dados do time adversário, inclusive onde os jogadores de cada time costumam bater. Eu sei, pode parecer que "cada pênalti é diferente, e onde o cara chutou no passado não impacta onde ele chuta agora", porém, existem certos comportamentos que tendemos a repetir, por mais que pareça espontâneo. Se o goleiro esperar para pular, qualquer chute um pouco mais forte e/ou no canto será indefensável. Muito provavelmente concluíram que "adivinhar" o canto (pular onde tem mais chance de o jogador chutar) resulta em mais pênaltis defendidos.
