I don't agree with this. 100%. I think run as simple as possible for as long as possible. So starting program would be a very linear program where upper body goes up 5 pounds every time. And lower body 5-10. Once that stalls than some very simple combination of dup and linear. Maybe one day 5x5 other workout 5x8 or something or 5x3 what ever. That's one mistake I made was getting complicated way to early. I got stuck doing squat only programs and one lift programs at 20 years old from trying to progress so fast to a more advanced program. Granted I squats 460 benched 275 and dl 460 at 20 years old and 170 pounds. I was simply running out of program options at least free ones haha.

I would actually argue that her form could use some tweaking. Notice as she gets heavier before the bar moves her shoulders move to back directly over the bar and her hips to rise. This is a common error and wasted energy when people start with their hips too low. Just an FYI. If you want some other great tips from people using the starting strength programs check out barbell medicine and Allen thrall/Austin B from there. He does an awesome tip video.

Wears leggings, drives Subaru (brz 195hp w/Prius tires) dates girl who suffers from TDS, self proclaimed weak grip strength and relatively large arms and a pencil neck (sign of none functional gym strength. Glad I went back and saw this. In a world where anyone can learn anything nearly anywhere at anytime you just narrowed down the reasons to spend time listening to you.

Id like to know why Im always tired lately from doing major power training. I intake a lot of food for it like Im supposed to and I intake vitamins. I do it 3 times a week (bench, squat, and deadlift) and I just find myself feeling dead on my 3rd month doing this. Ill admit I only get 6 hours of sleep and work a physical labor job. What am I doing wrong?

How does this workout come into play for lifters who are in the more intermediate category of lifting? I've never really followed a specific program. just dabbled with powerlifting (not very seriously however) back in the day and have been bodybuilding on and off for a few years. Does this program work for me?

Wait wait wait, Jeff Nippard tells me he can't lift 225lbs deadlift with double overhand grip? I just started deadlifting a few weeks ago, hitting that weight (100kg = 220ish lbs) doing it with every type of grip, even double overhand. Either it's because I'm a farmers son OR because I have no girlfriend

My only critique is on the frequency of working 80-90 % 1 rep max. It seems power lifters will more often stay in those high intensity loads. However, I could see for novice or intermediate lifters the issue would be in a lack of knowledge on recovery, exercise rotation, and mobility training.

Hey Jeff, love the content. Just wondering what injury/pain you get in your back and how you still lift relatively heavy and frequently without continuing to aggravate the area? This is something i struggle with and tend to get down about not being able to squat and deadlift without pain.

Sigh. my back is screwed. Makes me so sad to see videos like this and know I can't do this stuff any more. One split second injury a decade ago and now it hurts just to think about doing this stuff: ( No more sports, no lifting, aching all day, just bloody miserable.
