Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started.
Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE:
If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. [Reply]

I'm come from skinny Irishmen. It is what it is. Plus, I've got the German beef on the other side of the family. It's a weird mix. [Reply]

You can weigh 160 and not have visible abs.
It's not hate, just an on-going joke that has been thrown around the fitness community for a long time. Yeah, you can be 160 without abs if your short, not 6ft tall though. [Reply]
Started doing exercises specific to shoulders and arms this year. Previously just relied on other compound movements to include them. Anyway, wanting to get a reference point.... about how much is everybody able to press overhead from the seated position? [Reply]

That's pretty much what I do. 5x15 with just 135 (I prefer standing). I'll never go heavy again on shoulder movements since my shoulder separation issue.. everything is 15-20 reps for shoulder work. :-) [Reply]

I used to be able to do presses with 85lb dumbbells. No longer with all my shoulder issues. Now I do the same. Low weight and high rep. Usually max with 65lb dumbbells now. [Reply]
