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]

No one is saying you can't do it but I am not sure why cardio equates to being fit? That's a poor concept started in the 80's along with bogus low fat diets. You can be "in shape" from a variety of tools and you do not need cardio to be lean. Would you consider a marathon runner to be in shape just because they can run but they couldn't lift 100lbs off the floor or bench their bodyweight?
Multiple things go into being in shape, more so like body fat, lean muscle, blood pressure and cholesterol if we'd like to be honest without ourselves instead of just physical appearance. [Reply]

If I'm using this stuff lifting 3x a week how long does it take to see gains? Apologies for all the questions. [Reply]
