Do you consider yourself a big guy? If so, what routine did you use, and how long did it take?
I've been doing Starting Strength for almost a year, but I'm still a small guy.

SS is for no more than 6 months, you're doing it wrong, after 6 months you should switch to another routine, with more volume of exercise.

Push:
Flat BB Bench Press
Incline BB Bench Press

It's until you stop linear progression.
You're the reason people think 1/2/3/4 is an accomplishment.

Don't do a strength routine if your goal is primarily to get big. Work in the 3×8-12 range ya dingus

For you

You are really dumb anon. PL routines will get you big too. Tons of volume depending on the routine.

If you ran SS for a year the way the program is written, you'd be the strongest person in the world.

You can run it for as long as you want retard. I've read the entire book before you tell me to read the book.
You just make smaller jumps when you stall whatever weight you were adding each session.
1kg a session is still faster progression than 2.5kg a week.
>>35458636
So you're adding 1kg a session still? A year in?

How's 4th year math treating you?

Jesus fuck. Okay let's break this down. If you were adding 2kg every other session to bench, you'd be doing 156kg on top of what you started with. Assuming you're not weak as fuck to start that's at least 200kg bench.
Follow that same protocol and you just added 780kg to your squat if you're doing the 5kg that's recommended.

>Do you consider yourself a big guy?
Yes. Without getting super-fat, I'd like to think that I've filled out my frame (no sterons).
>what routine did you use, and how long did it take?
Mostly heavy compounds. Anywhere from 3-7x per week. Heavy squatting, pulling, pressing. Not rocket science.
Also, you have to actually try hard (just saying).

Lol you've never ran SS, have you?
>>35458658
>Not doing dumbbell deadlifts
Never going to make it.

at 6', 215lb, no, I don't consider myself a big guy.
There are people I know who consider me a big guy, but to me you need to be full on beast mode.
Most of my mass was put on while working 10 hour shifts as a roadie, pushing crates, carrying heavy shit, and loading up trucks. Essentially one big volume training routine.
I go to the gym mainly to build my biceps and delts, which are fairly undeveloped compared to the rest of me so anything is going to be useless for actually getting big.
