    450lbs x 5 on deadlift NLP is crazy.

      My coach had me switch to two sets of three. I work my way from 135 lbs up to 380 lb as of yesterday. It has been about 3 - 4 months.
      I'm still able to do a double overhand without straps or hook grip. Increasing by 10 lb a week right now, but that might go down to once a week sometime soon.
      I'm hoping that I can get to 485 on the linear progression before having it switch to something else.

    I’ve transitioned to a 4 day texas method split, PRing every week on squat and either press or bench. I’m going to try a 5 day this week to see if I can get in both upper body lifts. I have a home gym with rack, bench and now a new lifting platform, so this might not be possible for most people.

    Once you finish Starting Strength you no longer need to touch weights or exercise because you have achieved fitness

    I am transitioning from novice SS to intermediate/advance-intermediate SS. So I am asking the same question: what now? To be honest, I didn't find Grants rather rambling disjointed answer particularly helpful. I am an older lifter. i would be happy to go into some sort of maintenance period or even longer cycles where the drum beat of "just add more" gets extended over multiple weeks - perhaps even resetting 5/10 percent - in a multi-week cycle, giving generous recovery time.
    I know it is heresy, but I do think just reducing the slope of the adaptation curve is just fine. Anyway, I am looking for a more complete answer.

      If you are recovering whey worry about it if not, there are lots of things you could do, I have 57 and just want to keep getting stronger, but we all have different goals.

      My favorite is Jim Wendler’s 531. I prefer the programs in the book 531 Forever. You are generally adding weight to your training max every month.

      If you run out the NLP i’d suggest you hold onto a top set, and do back off sets for rep goals. So if you can go 405 on a given lift for 3x5, do one set of 5 for 405, then do 365 for as many reps as you can, then 315 for as many as you can. Next session try to add a rep to your 405, or better your rep count for each drop set. You can take smaller drops like 405/385/365 if you want. You will definitely add more size doing this, and that top end strength won’t diminish.

      Check out Wendler 5/3/1. There’s a lot of variability in assistance but the core of it is strength gains.

      @@dugla Jim Wendler's program. Search both his name and the 5-3-1 program. It's superior to anything out there; not to say SS isn't good, because it is. Wendler's program is simply ideal for pure strength.

      @@hadavisjrHow is it ideal for pure strength?
      You only do one top set for the main lift then it’s just adding in a bunch of higher rep accessory work.
      It’s more so a Hypertrophy program with a small strength component.
      Most people do not get very strong with it.

      @@HenchPig It's ideal for pure strength in the core lifts. The accessory work is just masturbation.
      Week 1 is 5, 5, 5+ with incremental increases; Week 2 is 3, 3, 3+, again with incremental increases; and the final week is 5, 3, 1+. It's the PLUS that makes the difference, when you push yourself at 95% 1RM.
      I'm 57 y/o, and my bench went from 280 to 325; deadlift from 375 to 425; squat from 305 to 355 -- all in 6 mos.
      Again the focus is the core lifts. The other stuff is just that....other stuff.
