Very helpful. I burned out so quickly on stronglifts 5x5. Should have started with starting strength. Wish I’d understood that linear progression, for some women, isn’t just cutting the men’s recommended increments in half.
The progression is really fast, I did not expect this, especially for bench press and deadlift. My squats are ok but i definitely can't deadlift double my weight...
Hello. You there is a typo in the screen at 1:38 . The guy says it correctly as 115 lbs since it is written 115 lb on wednesday fist week. But in writing (computer writing not table) it is written as 105 mistakenly, which was the previous workout's (Workout 1's) weight for the deadlift
Hi! In the podcast of "training female lifters - the neuromuscular efficiency" rip says that women should start doing 3*5 on the deadlift, not like the boys that do 1*5... And also says to pass them to 5*3(when 3*5 stops working..) on the other lifts, dont know also if it is 5*3 or 3*3 in the case of the deadlift... Can someone help me here? I have always use 1*5 in both males and females, but now i dont know what to follow! Thanks
Before the woman fails pulling a set of 5 on the deadlift change her program to 2 sets of 3s. She can continue doing 1x5 if the bar speed is fast. When the last rep starts to slow switch to triples.
The advice I've seen when I read starting strength was to just increase by the weight by what you can increase by If she can't increase by 2.5s on each side, just add 2.5 on one side (slight uneven should be fine) or use 1.25s on both sides or other micro plates
It depends on the context; answer "the first three questions" first. Lack of sleep and food is often a culprit, so is too short rest between sets. 1pound increased in the upper body lifts and power clean could be appropriate, but at that stage one would have to take into consideration a possibility of too little of a stimuli and a more advanced programming could help with that.

My wife got stronger following Starting Strength NLP. She's highly inconsistent but has still worked for her. 🙂

Missed that, thank you
In the book, rip suggests 5x3 and then 3x4 for women in the deadlift. But here you go from 1x5 to 2x3. 😅
I'm looking at the 1 month snap shot
In chapter 9.
I also found an article where you suggest 2x5
Great stuff mate

@brakemadness that sounds good, thanks!
Sir, What happens if the client can't increase her lift by 2.5/5 lbs for a couple of sessions?

Ask the first 3 questions, deload or move on to the next phase of programming.
@@georgebernard2002” slightly uneven” seriously!? Never
You raise the reps for the weight that they're currently at
