Any point in doing SS at this stage?

CitizenKane · 11-05-2009, 07:14 AM

I've been reading a lot about Rippertoe and this routine, etc. and I'm really interested in it. I know SS is designed for beginners, but I've been training since February of this year. (Been doing a Push/Pull routine for the most part, training primarily for hypertrophy, and I've seen really good gains).

So would there be much benefit in starting SS at this stage in my training?

My lifts are as follows:
Deadlift - 160kg
Bench - 105kg
Squat - 90kg

Bodyweight - 97kg

Any thoughts appreciated!

You are still a beginner. Go with it.
