I have only lifted as supplement to other sports, but i now want to focus specifically on lifting.
Im following a newbie program of linear progression called stronglifts 5x5, since im now focused more on lifting im doing all to get an edge, that means going easier during other sport training, and eating a crapload of protein shakes + creatine.
With this linear progression after 3 months of lifting i have already reached my old records in some lifts (440 squat, 200 OH press) almost there on others (290 bench, used to do 305) and establishing new records on new lifts (450 lbs dead and 255lbs bent over row).
However i can already see the signs of stalling, while bench and OHP are going strong, squats now feel harder, deadlifts and rows seem to be stalling (although i think its because my grip is weak).
I have made promise to myself now that im 30 to at least squat 660lbs once in my life, and with current progression im guessing i will stall at around 490 lbs, thats quite far from my intended record.
So whats next after linear progression stops working?
