2eggs, pepper, bacon (I pre cook it, throw away all the oily fat that comes out of it, and then throw the eggs and some paprika too). She's asking if it's good or bad for her. She being a woman and all. (I seriously didn't know we could eat shit that woman couldn't?). | ||

I think belts for deadlift are just a way of adding more way to your 1RM. I never train with it, but when you wear it you can just generate more IAP and therefore lift more (my personal experience). Notice I'm talking about a 10mm powerlifting belt, not those leather straps people put on their waist and call belts | ||

What's healthy for one, is healthy for the other, they just might have a lower maintainence. | ||

I'm amazed at how squatting 3 times a week is even possible, not to mention giving me better progression than I've ever had. My legs are constantly sore and feel weak, but as soon as I start squatting I somehow have the strength. | ||

225lb x 5 today on bench (my 3rd set after building up from 185). The goal is 225lb x 8 and i have 2 1/2 months to do it. EzPz. Also did 125lb x 6 on press and it wasn't too straining. I think I can get to 135 x 6 soon. Tomorrow is squats. Gotta bring my full game and try to get 6 clean reps of 245 lbs. | ||

I managed it up until about 85kg (100kg is my current 3x5 plateau) and now I've taken to doing light squats on one of the days just because it was killing me so much. I'm considering trying to go back to heavy 3 times, just to see if I can handle it now. But how sustainable is it? Are you just meant to do it until you cap out or what? SL says something about changing up after certain amounts of deloads, is that what people just kept to? I'm not some grunty caveman roaring around the gym. I'm not going to want to carry on if the excercise is giving such negative effects. I ask because no one else at my gym squats that much. Everyone who has asked about what I do has said that they wouldn't squat 3 times a week heavy. The way I see it, is that the key difference is that they've been squatting for a lot longer than I have and eventually it just isn't sustainable. I just want to make sure I'm not going to be losing out on too much with this plan or that I've slowed down squatting too early. | ||

You can try something like Madcows, which has a light squat day on wednesday and less volume in general to see how that goes. Do whatever you believe in, you'll make it work better than things you don't feel comitted to. There are lifters that squat even more volume than SS, but it's not the norm. | ||

SS was more sustainable for me when I was in school, when I had a lot of free time, sufficient sleep (>7.5hr everyday) and cooked all of my meals. I did Madcow for roughly two months, and was really struggling to keep up with gains. Now that I have a full time job, I do SS every three days instead of the typical 2/2/3, which seems to be working out fairly well. Overall, I think rest is key. | ||

Edit: It's doable but it might suck. But there's something to be said for going light every other or something as a good number of programs incorporate that. If you're really struggling due to the frequency of heavy squats just try out doing light days. Just stick with whatever you do | ||

Overall, I think rest is key. iirc, you're on the lighter side so plateauing at 100kg isn't too odd. As Cambium said, I think recovery is key. Is your current lifestyle sufficient to recover enough within 48 hours and make progress? Do you get sufficient sleep? Do you eat enough? If you're not able/willing to change those factors, you have to change the program to have more time between max effort days. Deloads are good because they let your body recover. We all have bad days/weeks but if you're constantly stalling after very little progress, that's an indication that your body is not recovering enough. | ||
