i know i can't brah, probably due to the volume of my workout, cuz either one of the workout zaps too much of my energy...

tbh if i put maximum intensity on squat or deadlift,i cant proceed to other superheavy compound move ady
for me,squat and deadlift is mean to be heavy,relatively heavy and good form

Got to agree with both you boys. Prefer to split them.
Completely agree. Even I cant hit my usual numbers if I did two a session. Hard stuff. However, there are people out there squatting 5 times per week. I suppose its all about getting used to it. Its always hard in the beginning but once you get used to it you will always improve. Given everything is done right

I respect your view but I need to say one thing on this.
Considering SS is a newbie program, ALL programs will add poundages to lifts. Assuming one does not subsist on a diet of doritos, carlsberg and coke, all newbies CAN and WILL make newbie gains. I once helped a LYN member out via PM and he was running Kris Getthin's program as a newbie (for those not in the know, Kris Getthin's program is an insane program popularized on BB.com) and even then he made some gains on the program.
All I am saying is:
1) There are far better programs which will help you make much better gains than on SS
2) Doing SS for long periods has the potential to introduce imbalances
3) If your goal is BB, SS will not do much for you anyway.
Like you said, its a newbie program. The name itself implies the function and goal of the program. I dont think its meant to be done for long periods of time.
How many trainees in your gym u seen have started compounds right off the bat? Im not saying ss is the best program out there, none of the programs are. What im saying is that its not useless.
If you doubted gethins program for a newbie why would u consider ss to be the inferior one?
