I was also very surprised how low i had to go on squats to be able to pump out a set of 15, rest for 60 seconds and pump out another 15.

I'm not very strong in the legs so it took me 3 months just to squat my body weight in a set of 5. In fatloss 1 which i am presently doing, i pumped out 3 sets of 15 with 110lbs of plates + the bar which i think is 20lbs.

I've been going on and off for over a year on different routines and if you want to loose fat, SS will not be the program to start with - atleast it didn't work for me.

I do like the SS program. Maybe do fatloss 1, 2 then hypertrophy 1 and 2 and then switch to SS. Just and idea.

I've been around on a lot of forums and you will receive tons of suggestions. Do What Works For You as what works for someone else might not be suited to you.
