Were you not adding weight every session? Were you failing and deloading every two weeks? The reason Rip says 50 pounds over 3 months is YNDTP is because it's logically inconsistent with the program as written. So if you weren't doing the program About point 2, the initial workout of Starting Strength is not the empty bar. The initial workout has you find the weight at which the bar speed starts to slow down, and then gets you to use that weight for 3 sets of 5.

Just focus on safely getting stronger now. Improve this answer. Dave Liepmann Dave Liepmann I agree about the irrelevance of long-term relative strength goals. As a novice, it only matters that are able to lift more each workout. How do the weight I'm lifting can be factored in there? TCSGrad You shouldn't base your calorie intake based on what you believe is maintenance.
You should base it on what is needed in order to make consistent, predictable progress on your lifts. If you're reliably adding 5lbs to your squat every time you go to the gym, there's no need to eat more. If you start plateauing, the first thing I would try is increasing your calorie intake. TCSGrad I don't count calories or maintenance yadda yadda. Just make sure your digestion is operating properly, you're never hungry, and you're eating enough animal protein. I recommend grass-fed meat and milk, pastured poultry and eggs, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables galore, and salads.
If you're squatting heavy then you'll put the food to good use; if not it'll just go into the toilet. This is a good answer. Try it and see for yourself. Discuss in Forums. Highlights from the StartingStrength Community.

Dec 5. Seoul, ROK. Phoenix, AZ. Dec 4. Villa Park, CA. At the end of I realized that my 1RMs were the same as the beginning of the year. A friend of mine had gotten some good results from Starting Strength, so I figured why not? A few weeks in, the weights had gotten heavy enough that I had to really struggle with them. Then something really cool started happening — I could feel myself growing stronger.
The following Friday I increased again and now it felt easy. See more videos on my YouTube channel. I did make sure to sleep plenty and I ate pretty much anything I could get my hands on, both of which I feel made a huge difference.
As the weight on the bar went up, so did my bathroom scale. Slowly but surely, over time, I stopped making progress. I tried resetting a couple of times but would end up failing at the same weights again, which is when I decided to pull the plug and consider my strength officially started.
I ran the program for three months before it stopped working for me. This is likely due to me having done some strength training before, because I know others have been able to push Starting Strength for much longer than that. Not too shabby! The squat and deadlift increased the most, as was predicted, because they involve the most muscle mass and thus have the best growth potential.
This led to a newfound love of the squat for me. Every repetition in the program is there for a reason and every repetition not in the program is omitted for a reason. But ask yourself — how has that worked for you so far? Has it led to the same kind of progress that people get from Starting Strength? If you have to make changes, at least read the book to understand the reasoning behind the program.
Strength training is about more than just lifting weights. Probably not. Rest as long as you need to be able to succeed with the next set. This could be minutes in the beginning, up to 5 later on, and around 8 minutes towards the end.
Training is like sun tanning. You have to spend time in the sun and then let your body heal up, for it to bronze. Base your training on the four big lifts — they are simple to learn, hit every muscle in your body, and strike a great balance between allowing you to lift a lot of weight, while performing as full a range of motion as possible.
No need to complicate things. Recovery is key to growing big and strong. The Starting Strength forum is a great community and resource to learn from. In summary: Starting Strength works and it works damn well.
If you want to grow strong — commit to and try it out! Their massive and ongoing contribution to the strength and conditioning world have been invaluable to the many thousands helped by it, myself included.
