Hi-

I got a lot stronger from doing the Bill Starr 5x5, until Phase 2, the 3x3s. I've tried to do the 5x5 over again after a week off or so, but it seems as if I'm not gaining strength as before.

Is the "20-rep squat" program or "Squat and Milk" program something that would help? If not, what other things would you suggest?

Thanks
 
I feel like after 6 weeks of 20rep squats, i would be overall stronger and could deadlift more as well.

Please correct me if i'm wrong. Also I guess another option is to do the 3xWeek pull/push/squat routine.

Really Sorry About All The Same Posts
 
i was doing the 5x5 with 135 military press, 225 bench, 265 squats, 285 deadlift.

I feel like my bench is too close to my squats. And I want my DL to be better.
 
the general rule is you are still in the noob area so i believe whatever you do will yeild great results.

i would do the p/p/s, imo.

then try out the 20 repper plan.
 
or... you can try something like timed total tonnage, edt gvt or even the texas method.

Pretty much. Squat/push/pull heavy in whatever fashion strikes your fancy, eat a lot, and will make gains.
