Hey Kev, glad you're enjoying the log. I began with starting strength a couple years ago and basically just did the basic SS lifts. I was definitely gaining strength and weight, but I still looked/felt like a DYEL noob. I decided to add on some stuff (curls/tris/abs) so I could look better/get bigger in other areas. It's loosely based off of the greyskull LP that i posted a while back-

Neck Harness
Wednesday
Bench/ or Press 2x5, 1x 5+
Weighted Chins 2 x 6-8 (press days, and only if you can do at least 6-8 BW chins)
Deadlift 1x 5+ (with or without power cleans as warmups)
Neck Harness
Friday
Bench/ or Press (A/B) 2x 5, 1 x 5+
Curl 2x 10-15 (bench days)
Squat 2x 5, 1x 5+
Neck Harness
Bodyweight Chins are done every day.
5 lb jumps on Squat and Deadlift
2.5lb jumps on pressing movements and curls (when rep ranges are satisfied)
When reps on last set fall below 5, take 10% off of bar and begin process over (on that lift only)
i'll probably start this next lift. i think i'll do everything besides the neck harness
I'm not close to being an expert on lifting so you should probably consult more knowledgeable posters in H&F or a smart trainer.
