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]

But I had to weigh the risk with the reward and decided against trying.
Only 20%? I set my Bench PR with a female spotter wearing some painted on athletic attire. [Reply]

I was joking. No, I doubt it - Even makes me feel good about my form, (which is pretty sad) although my form is improving tremendously across the board. [Reply]
