I want to be bulkier !!!!!!

not sure if anyone's said it or not, but eat a LOT more. Eat so much that you feel full all day long. Every hour or two you should be eating protein or drinking a shake, or both. You should be uncomfortable all day.

Not sure what you're doing for a routine, but you should probably be working out a little less (more time to rest/recover). Something like the 5x5. Moderate volume, heavy weight, focusing on the basic compound movements, higher frequency. Whole body 3 times a week.

Throw out everything else. Keep it simple.

im starting have second thoughts about this ripptoes ss program, not that its hard and i cany managed its because people saying its only for newbies that have never trained before. i aint a newbie my body is use to training for the last 2 or 3 years although in that time i always did single body part routines.

so should i stick with ss routine or is there an alternative for my level ?

squat 90 kg 8 reps
bench 65 kg 8 reps
press 50 kg 8 reps
deadlift 100 kg 8 reps

LFG youre waaaaay overthinking this. Bro RELAX and work into this program for a min of 6 months. EAT and WORK thru the program and RELAX. Bro you will see the results. We are all tellin you the same thing here, just go with it and enjoy it. Keep bumping up the weight, even if that means you dont get all your reps. If you miss on your reps, get it next time. Just do it and enjoy it. Have fun!

Your level??

2-3 years of "on and off" training (most likely more OFF than ON) does NOT make you an "experienced" lifter. All that time, you were doing it wrong. Rippetoe's SS is teaching you how to do it right.

You are a n00b. Saying you're not is just proving you are a stubborn n00b. Nothing wrong with being new and inexperienced. You don't need to try to impress anyone here, just learn and grow. Don't over think this, just follow the program and eat. 2 times your bodyweight in grams of protein, minimum. Plenty of carbs and good fats too. Drink at least a gallon of water a day (flavor it with crystal light if you like).

Just follow the program, stop worrying about the small stuff. It works if you do it right. Did I mention...EAT MOAR!?!??!!

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem.

yeah i admit i got a problem with my strength and i am sticking ss thanks to you guys and your advice.

problem im having is 2 day i had workout A again SQUAT, BENCH , DEADLIFT i managed to stack 5kg to my squat which is now 95 kg 5 reps , i stacked 2 kg to my bench which is now 67 kg and i stacked 5 kg to my deadlift which is 105 kg .

what i really struggled on was deadlifts my form wasnt completely pefect but i felt the weight pulling down on me , i have no problem with 100kg but that 5 extra kg weighed me down. should i still increase it next workout or should i go back to 100 kg ?

never go backwards. Always beat the logbook. For me a lot of times if I am not feeling as strong it is diet related. Usually means I haven't eaten enough that day. Make sure you are well fed and well hydrated when you get in the gym. Could try a pre workout supp containing caffeine as well.

If anything, if you're feeling like you may not be able to pull that weight, make sure you take a long enough rest. If that doesn't work and you're still feeling questionable, leave the weight the same as last time and just try to pull for more reps.

thanks, see thats the only thing i dont like bout ripptoes ss because 5 kg increments on the deadlift your likely to stall quiker than any other lift. it should be more suitable 5 kg a week on that lift but who am i to say im just going to take your advice try and bang out the weight next session up it by 5 kg .

and you know what i didnt get enough calories before workout but i just about managed to get the reps. i have tried one of post caffeine supps, i had bsn cellmass i didnt use it much tho because i think the serving size was a whole scoop and i use to get like sugar rush lol i tried creatine did help a little but made me bloated and i heard that the water makes you look bigger so i couldnt really tell my progress, so i stopped that. the only things i stuck with was ON WHEY PROTEIN, GLUTAMINE and thats bout it. im out of whey protein so i need a reload do you think i should stick with ON WHEY PROTEIN its costs me a tonne of dimes or is something better to do the job, because im not concerned about staying lean just need the protein.
