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]

Like 135 is a big deal? And no, I don't bring my ass cheeks all the way to the floor, but I'm not curtsying the motherfucker either.
If it's a strict, full range of motion press than yes, 10 reps is good. Most use leg drive and stop the bar at midface however. One of the worst performed lifts in the gym next to squats, which you should be hitting parallel or lower.
But 6ft, 178 is string bean pussy territory unless you're rocking a sick 6 pack. [Reply]

I've been concentrating on CFA studying right now so I've only been hitting the gym once a week. Even then, I'm doing 5X5 @ 205. I was doing 5X5 @ 225.

I think most of the heavies in my gym are either on maintenance or permanent de-load. I'm like, how the fuck did you get so big lifting so little weight?

Fuck calves, man.
I hate doing legs, but I hate having chicken legs more.
