We’ll start with the upper body volume problems. There is too much squatting and not enough everything else. Have you heard the term “T-Rex Mode”? It’s what you’ll get – Big lower body, small upper body. In addition, the volume is disproportionately distributed towards your lower body. SS is much more guilty of this than SL, but they’re both very low volume overall. Mark Rippetoe and Mehdi, authors of Starting Strength (SS) and StrongLifts (SL), do not know this. Volume is important for muscle growth, especially long term. The volume is too low, and poorly distributed Obviously that’s not a sufficient answer, so let’s talk specifics.
Their only possible benefit is their simplicity, which is a need that’s better met by better routines. They are too low in training volume, the way they try to handle stalls doesn’t make any sense, they create unrealistic expectations of progress rate, and they push you to stay on them a lot longer than you should. In short: They aren’t good routines and don’t do what they claim to do for you. Doesn’t this all apply to the Basic Beginner Routine too? Why is that recommended instead?.But SS and SL are only meant to be short term programs for a few months, so none of this matters.Where can I read some comments on Reddit about this?.
