Just started Stronglifts 5x5

[MMS]

How many of ya'll are incorporating auxiliary lifts in addition to the main ones? I couldn't help but add some, if only to feel like I wasn't wasting time in the gym.

i do it for a minute until i start hitting plateaus then i start doing just the main moves and switch around the ones i know are struggling

ie if my bench is slowing down ill do it first

I've done both, I favor SS because it is easier for me to stick with. The 5x5 is a little much for me personally. Both are very solid programs tho and you can make great gains on either one.

Personally as someone that has done and trained people on both I say do starting strength first.

After looking through SS the only difference i see is 3x5 instead of 5x5 and powercleans instead of rows Meh, I'm not sure how I feel about them cleans that shyt looks sketchy.
Could I just do SL with 3x5 if the volume gets too much?

I fukked up and did 4 sets of squats with the weight from the other day

Went back and did 5x5 with the correct weight

The heavier weight actually felt lighter around the 3 set

Started with stronglifts. It's really amaxing, I always go back to it when I need a restart. 1

5x5 can be scaled to any strength level

This is why I go very early in the morning. Im very self conscious about my lifting technique so that that time is the best. Barely anyone there.

You from the endz?

I just started this today. It feels kinda silly to be starting with such minor weight. I look like a fool just lifting the bar and it's not challenging.
