Time to go advanced?

[monkeyboy]

I have been doing SL5x5 for under a month, although I have been strength training for some time previously. My previous session was 5 x 5 at 105kg. I am pretty sure that I am able to squat 1.5xBW and will be having a go at this on sunday. (Aiming for 1 rep @ 130kg, BW is 85kg).

If this is done, is it time to move up to the intermediate or advanced program, or should I keep going as I am? I have yet to deload on any of the exercises.

If it isn't broke don't fix it. Ride it out as long as the gains keep coming. I started the beginner program a little over a month ago being able to squat 1.5xBW for reps, and was close to DL 2xBW, and I'm still going at it.

Sounds like a plan.. cheers.

yes indeed he did. Sticking with sl5x5 as long as you can is the best idea.

i bet you can 140-150 kg with SL 5X5 if you keep at it. plus one month isnt that long, its pretty clear you have done other training before the 5X5. give it a few more months and i bet you wont be dissapointed.
