So I've been doing SL 5x5 for 2 months and have seemed to stall in my progress. Should I move onto an intermediate program? Does anyone have any experience with the juggernaut method? I've heard it's designed to allow room for conditioning as well as volume and intensity, so it's very well rounded. help /fit/ pls
what does strstd say? Are you intermediate?
deload for a week

If you stall after two fucking months you're either
eating too little
using shit form
Or possibly both
You're in no position to quit after 2 measly months. Work harder, lazyarse. Odds are your form is off, and slightly slimmer odds say it's nutrition or rest.

Another idiot stalling on 5x5.
FUCK 5x5. Most of you phaggots can't handle the volume because you don't eat and recover and don't have the work capacity.
Switch to SS or Greyskull. You'll make the same gains.
If the deload does not work.
Do a Strong lifts- Mad Cow hybrid.
A
Squat
Bench
B
Dead
OH Press
Then later go mad cow.
Then Later Later 5/3/1.

This. Used to do SL and stalled alot especially in those last 2 sets. My sleep was off usually but I couldn't seem to keep it in check getting distracted at night. Went back to SS and progress is actually good.
Take a deload weak, meaning take a week off and continue where you left off. Your CNS may need to heal.

>You'll make the same gains
As in you'll stall as you did in SL? what the fuck are you on nigger?

how heavy did were you going before you switched?
You're meant to switch whatever you're stalling on to 3x5. It's in the fucking program.

Did the program change? As I recall, you're to suffer three deloads on 5x5 (so a total of 9 failed sessions) before you're to switch to 3x5.
Not saying it's not a good idea, though - Take a week off, start again at 3x5, maybe with a small deload (Like one or two sessions worth), and if that doesn't work out and you're not making any gains even then, you should try Texas Method.
Of course, you can do whatever programs you can find in the world, fat fucking lot of good they'll do you if you don't rest or eat enough or eat enough of the stuff you're not supposed to have enough of.
