Thanks again guys. I was on vacation last week so I couldn't respond. Today was my first day on SS and my lifts seem pathetic for a guy my size. I have a few other questions pertaining to this program. I noticed the gym I joined doesn't have 2.5lbs weights for 5lbs jumps. I really don't want to add 10lbs for the bench and overhead press as I believe I will stall way to fast. What do I do in this case?
Also, when it came to my dead lifts, I was doing them in front of the squat rack and used two 25lbs to put on the floor on both sides of the bar to raise the bar to where it should be. I was getting stared at like crazy. Am I doing something wrong with this? Is there a place I am supposed to do deadlifts? Is there another way without adding weights to the floor to raise the bar when warming up?
