hello mis/fit/s

I was thinking of getting a new routine. After 3months of starting strength it just doesn't seem to do it for me anymore.

6'4'' 165lbs->180lbs

160/180/250 -> 190/255/370

all lifts are stalling or actually decreasing. I could do a major reset and eat more but I'm bored of this shit and want something more brutal and intense. Something that makes me cry in the gym and brings back my motivation to eat a fuckton every day. What should I do?

starting strength is bullshit. Come up with your own routine as long as it includes some basics like squatz, deadlifts, and bench press.

as if I know enough shit to do that.

can I still do squats every lift day? Also, how many reps should I do if my goal is to get bigger, faster, stronger? Just stick with 5? Does this vary between different lifts?

This. I, personally, go for 4 sets. I guess 5 is fine too.

With heavier weights?
also, I should maybe stress the fact that size is secondary for me. I train for boxing.

as heavy as you can for 8-10 reps. push yourself really hard or your progress will be very slow.

no, I mean when you stall. 5reps with heavier weights or just less reps? again, Isn't 8-10 reps moar like a muscle hypertrophy thing? I won't mind getting bigger but I wan't to maximize speed on my way up in the weight classes. (ie strength to weight)

can someone confirm that 8-10reps is AWWWRIGHT

It's pretty simple OP, you've probably reached the limit of the progress you can make with novice programming. Either do a 15% deload and try to get a little bit more out of Starting Strength, or bite the bullet and move onto an intermediate program. I recommend the Texas Method.

Your goals haven't changed (strength to weight) so why would you change the type of training you're doing? 8-10 reps is what bodybuilders do for hypertrophy, which is the exact opposite of what you want.

That's pretty good progress for 3 months, and your strength to weight ratio isn't bad either.

Thanks, This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, clear weekly progress and heavy weights.

Thanks, I've been very satisfied with my progress but this is the second stall on squats and my muscles are never very tired like an hour after working out. It just feels like I can't push my self hard enough and that there's not enough challenge so I figured I need something else.
