Seriously, why are you recommending an advanced peaking program for a beginner lifter?
It's not a bad way to break through a plateau. If he gets legit stuck, run it once to break through the plateau and resume a linear progression.

Edit: I actually did it once before I had moved to Texas method and it totally helped me. Everyone's mileage may vary.

If you're a beginner the way to get stronger is to eat more. You don't need a fancy program where you bench 4x a week. Just bench with linear progression and constantly eat.

The older I get the less I care about PRs. OP though if I could only bench 1 time my body weight I would keep going. Don't let this one experience be shame. While I have never had this happen to me I have rolled right off the bench with 100 lbs dumbells. I have collapsed from pulling so much weight. **** happens man. If you wanna get bigger it requires pushing your limits. I have been plagued with various injuries so my outlook for myself has changed.

You're likely getting a lot of bad information though. I didn't have time to read through the thread

Bruh I had no idea until after posting this thread that you could roll the weight down. Probably could have saved me a lot of embarrassment.

I think that I would too to be honest, I can laugh about it now but at the time I was mortified and it took a lot of psyching up for my next workout ha. No worries although she didn't have to add insult to injury by patting me on the head.

I seriously wonder about some of you weirdos

ASK someone to spot you. You don't have to know someone to ask them to spot you in a gym, it's a god damn gym.

Same type of dudes to circle around a piece of equipment for 30 minutes when you can just ask to work in

5*5 is nasty business. Did it last week. Do it every second week. Sucks, and requires a lot of focus if you are going heavy enough.

Oh, missed the month and a half part.

OP, eat more and when you are done, eat some more. And start drinking milk like it's going to get you more 'poon than Moby Dick.

The only excuses not to ask a stranger for a spot are:

- there are nothing but scrawny teenagers or college students around.

- the only people have MS-13, Aryan Nation or rival gang tattoos.

Just roll it down your body, sit up, roll it onto the bench seat, then pick it up and put it back up. I do it all the time. It's not a big deal.
