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]

People have different terms for everything. I do about 3 sets of the 4 workouts, try to get as many reps possible. Start light, finish heavy. My shoulders are showing the most improvement. [Reply]
Anyone have any goals this year? I'm going to lose the final 30 pounds to hit 200. Ive started by not drinking as much and really paying close attention to my Macros. This new split is really enjoyable and will keep me in the gym on a consistent basis. [Reply]
I’ve slowed my cardio down recently. I weighed 172 last week and that is a little too skinny for my liking. I’ve had a cold for two weeks and it’s set me back. I’ve only been to the gym four times in the last two weeks. Makes me feel like a big pussy when I skip gym day. [Reply]
