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]

Yeah, me too about 3 weeks ago. I can still barely run and I haven't touched a soccer ball at all in that time. My touch is going to be awful. Also, I haven't been able to do squats or any leg pressing type moment in that time. Argh, I'm constantly in "2 steps forward, 2 steps back" mode. [Reply]

Normal people need to watch their diets in a different way. You are being obtuse.
I understand you think NFL football players are gods. That does not mean anything when it comes to exercise and diet.
If you had the desire to you could put in the same amount of physical activity each week as well. Instead you choose to drink soda and have gay days eating pizza.
It is all about choices... Not pro athlete vs non athlete. [Reply]

Not true at all.
I work out 5 hours a week. I rarely eat pizza and drink only diet soda.
NFL players are putting in 10+ hours easy between practice and weight room.
