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 according to the way people treat me, apparently I should be about 185, which is bullshit.
Really just depends on body comp. Im 6'2 220 with a low enough body fat to have veins poking through my skin above my.biceps without a pump needed. Some guys 6'2 220 isnt very pretty [Reply]

FYP.
I know body composition matters, but your average American is a fat shit. Growing up people were always telling me I was too skinny and needed to eat more. When I was younger girls would say shit like they think they'd break me (LOL.. No). [Reply]

Yep...agreed. A little thin is better than obese. [Reply]

Exactly. Which is why any chart saying how much some should or shouldn't weigh is complete BS.
If I weighed what the BMI says I should I would look anorexic. [Reply]
